即是誓言，为了持守本尊的信物，为了以不忘陀罗尼执持，为了从心要中计数，为了般若佛母的缘起，为了受用物的缘起，为了生起因缘能力，为了生起誓言智慧，为了调伏自与本尊，为了使所修、能修、已修之果无尽增长，为了恢复念诵和闭关的意念，为了成办息增怀诛等所有事业，为了转动三种法轮，总的必要不可思议，特别是掌握咒语的数量。又，特别是念珠的必要是，成熟解脱生起圆满次第，确定密咒道的入门，因为是方便的差别，修持缘起双运。等等，说了有特别的必要。二是数量，此中说：显示念珠的数量之量时，总的来说赞叹一百零八，或者它的一半五十四，二十一（206）和十一，无论念诵何种寂静事业的咒语，十一的数量圆满再三念诵，百千万亿等的，闭关数量按照经典来确定。同样，增法一百零八，怀法五十又四的数量，诛法则是二十一。一切都按照各自的经论，将数量的闭关作为标准。这样从四种方式中，不要多做，也不要做少。如是说。三是念珠线，此中说：念珠的线是这样的，息法用白色棉线，增法用黄色土线缠绕，怀法念珠用红色丝线，诛法的念珠用刀子的筋，或者用大筋缠绕。同样，用肠子鞣制的那种，用肠线之类缠绕。各种事业的念珠是，用五色线缠绕成线绳，一切都与念珠的粗细相适应，做得合适。要宽敞，不要狭窄，不要长，要短。太狭窄则事业不成，宽敞则会夹杂中断，太长则延缓本尊，修行散乱，太短则对寿命有损。有接头和有结的，粗细不均匀会导致争吵。等等，要了解各种差别。

It is the commitment, to hold the symbol of the deity, to hold with the unfailing dharani, to count from the essence, for the auspicious connection of the Wisdom Mother, for the auspicious connection of the objects of enjoyment, to generate the power of cause and condition, to generate the wisdom of commitment, to subdue oneself and the deity, to make the results of what is to be practiced, what is practiced, and what has been practiced inexhaustibly increase, to restore the intention of recitation and retreat, to accomplish all activities such as pacifying, increasing, magnetizing, and wrathful, to turn the three wheels of Dharma, the general necessity is inconceivable, in particular, to grasp the number of mantras. Moreover, the particular necessity of the rosary is to mature liberation, generate the completion stage, determine the entrance to the secret mantra path, because it is a difference of means, to practice the union of auspicious connection. And so on, it is said that there is a special necessity. Second, the number is: In this it is said: When showing the measure of the number of rosaries, in general, one hundred and eight is praised, or half of that, fifty-four, twenty-one (206) and eleven, no matter what mantra of peaceful activity is recited, the number of eleven is complete and recited again and again, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, etc., the number of retreats is determined according to the scriptures. Similarly, the increasing activity is one hundred and eight, the magnetizing activity is fifty-four, and the number of wrathful activity is twenty-one. All according to their respective scriptures, the number of retreats is taken as the standard. Thus, from these four ways, do not do too much, and do not do too little. As it is said. Third, the rosary thread is: In this it is said: The thread of the rosary is like this: for peaceful activity, use white cotton thread, for increasing activity, wrap with yellow earth thread, for magnetizing activity, the rosary is red silk thread, for wrathful activity, the rosary is made of knife tendon, or wrap with large tendon. Similarly, that kind of tanned intestines, wrap with intestinal thread and the like. The rosary for various activities is, wrap five-colored threads into a string, everything should be adapted to the thickness of the rosary, and made appropriately. It should be spacious, not narrow, not long, but short. If it is too narrow, the activity will not be accomplished, if it is spacious, there will be mixing and interruption, if it is too long, it will delay the deity and distract the practice, if it is too short, it will harm life. Having joints and having knots, uneven thickness will lead to quarrels. And so on, one should understand the various differences.

如是说故，能够清楚地理解。然而，对于绳线的种类，只说了五种左右，没有明确说明线股的数量和纺织者的身份。然而，上师们认为，为了增上无漏之乐的缘起，应该由未被世俗之法玷污的具相明妃来纺织。其原因是，金刚空行母中说：“由年轻女子纺织，其形貌美丽，身体圆满，清净且具念，言语悦耳。由她纺织的念珠，将会产生解脱的成就。（207）”显然是考虑到了这一点。关于线股的数量，《萨布提》中说：“在八方和四隅，中央第九是佛陀本身。线股上有九位神，应该加持这九位神。”如是说，因此，也可以认为中央的线股代表莲花金刚力，八方和四隅代表佛陀颅鬘等八位忿怒尊，从而将线股做成九股，这是非常合适的。有些人说，不应该遮盖新密咒，这是非常合适的。因为这些新旧共同著名的誓言物，只是说法上略有差别，并没有矛盾之处。不仅如此，通晓佛法要点且不偏袒的智者成就者们，彼此不会像水火一样看待冷热。然而，将仪轨和修法混淆，是因为从八法之母那里，心被彻底陶醉，将变化和上下颠倒混在一起。第四，关于穿线的方式，《桑布扎》中说：“以元音和辅音的种子字，用吽（藏文：ཧཱུྃ，梵文天城体：हुं，梵文罗马拟音：hūṃ，汉语字面意思：吽）字牢固地穿过中央。”如是说，应该观想念珠是本尊的主体，念珠被眷属的坛城围绕，并唱着吽（藏文：ཧཱུྃ，梵文天城体：हुं，梵文罗马拟音：hūṃ，汉语字面意思：吽）字来穿线。第五，关于线头的持握方式，此经中说：“念珠的线头持握方式如下：寂静的念珠是白色，圆形且卷曲的；增益的念珠是黄色，带有中国结，或者是沉重的；供养的念珠是佛塔形状，中间有红色的花朵，形状是扁平的、半月形的或长条形的，都是吉祥的；忿怒的念珠是黑色的，形状是三角形，带有爪痕，向下弯曲，有孔洞和裂缝，总之是粗糙而锋利的。”

As it is said, it can be clearly understood. However, regarding the types of cords, only about five types are mentioned, and the number of strands and the status of the weaver are not clearly stated. However, the previous lamas considered that, as an auspicious connection for increasing the bliss of non-leakage, it should be woven by a consort with characteristics who is not tainted by worldly dharmas. The reason for this is that it is said in the Vajra Dakini: "It is woven by a young woman, whose form is beautiful, whose body is complete, who is pure and mindful, and whose speech is pleasing. The rosary woven by her will give rise to the accomplishment of liberation. (207)" It is obvious that this is what they had in mind. Regarding the number of strands, it is said in the Saṃpuṭi: "In the eight directions and intermediate directions, the ninth in the center is the Buddha himself. There are nine deities on the thread, and these nine deities should be blessed." As it is said, therefore, it is also appropriate to consider the central strand as representing Padma Vajra Power, and the eight directions and intermediate directions as representing the eight wrathful deities such as Buddha Skull Garland, and thus make the strand into nine strands. Some say that the new tantras should not be covered up, which is very appropriate. Because these vows, which are famous in both new and old traditions, only have slight differences in the way they are explained, and there is no contradiction. Moreover, the wise and accomplished ones who understand the key points of the Dharma and are not biased do not regard each other as hot and cold like water and fire. However, mixing rituals and sadhanas is because the mind is completely intoxicated from the mother of the eight dharmas, and the changes and the upside-down are mixed together. Fourth, regarding the method of threading, it is said in the Saṃpuṭi: "With the seed syllables of vowels and consonants, thread firmly through the center with the syllable Hūṃ (藏文：ཧཱུྃ，梵文天城体：हुं，梵文罗马拟音：hūṃ，汉语字面意思：吽)." As it is said, one should visualize the rosary as the main deity, surrounded by the mandala of the retinue, and thread the beads while chanting the syllable Hūṃ (藏文：ཧཱུྃ，梵文天城体：हुं，梵文罗马拟音：hūṃ，汉语字面意思：吽). Fifth, regarding the way to hold the end of the thread, it is said in this very text: "The way to hold the end of the rosary is as follows: The peaceful rosary is white, round, and curled; the increasing rosary is yellow, with a Chinese knot, or heavy; the offering rosary is in the shape of a stupa, with red flowers in the middle, and the shape is flat, crescent-shaped, or long, all of which are auspicious; the wrathful rosary is black, with a triangular shape, with claw marks, bent downwards, with holes and cracks, in short, rough and sharp."
