In the southwest, there are cliffs and sandy areas like the tear marks of a crying Rakshasa. In the north, there are many ravines like those scratched by the palm prints of an angry Yaksha or Matrika. In the northeast, there are traces like the marks of spears thrust by demon thieves. Furthermore, places associated with danger, such as cruel Nagas, the path where sinners walk, the wandering place of cruel ministers, and the meeting place for unspeakable things, as well as places such as mountain ridges, canyon mouths, and the confluence of water sources, should also be avoided.

那地也是如此,因为具有精勤的能力。如《怖畏电》中所说:海颈、水汇、大海深处,水之洲或国王之所,有水环绕之处,对于一切事业都是吉祥的。群山汇聚的顶峰,旃檀林和花苑,令人心旷神怡、吉祥喜悦之处,在这样的地方绘制坛城是吉祥的。因此,土地应是高耸雄伟,极其平坦且富有光泽,河流从西向东流淌,微风习习,植物、森林、花朵繁茂,鸟鸣悦耳,因人类历史而吉祥,被导师或特殊人物的足迹所踏过并获得成就的土地,才具备神圣的吉祥。第二,观察土地自身的特征分为两种:观察恶劣土地的特征和观察优良土地的特征。首先,观察恶劣土地的特征。如《事业次第》中所说:像平原荒地一样,低洼和凹陷的特征,盐碱地、带刺的石头、乌龟,沙地、灰烬、木炭,瓦砾、骨头、碎石等等,榕树和婆罗树,乌昙跋罗和菩提树,阿 জু那等情况,是不希望的,应清理或搬迁。因此,土地像平原一样不生长植物等,像荒地一样干旱贫瘠,比其他地方低洼,向下凹陷,断裂,盐碱地,带刺的石头,像乌龟背一样不生长植物,乌昙跋罗土地开裂,菩提树土地形成或弯曲,阿 জু那土地粗糙等,这些土地的缺点是不希望的,应仔细观察后清理或搬迁。第二,观察优良土地的特征。如《事业次第》中所说:吉祥草和花树,具有光泽和颜色,砖石纹路极少,特别的是,填满后有剩余的,是最好的。因此,在那片土地上生长着吉祥的吉祥草、吉祥草和各种花树,土地颜色好,光泽大,树根等砖石纹路极少,有时挖掘的坑洞又被土地填满而有剩余,这是最好的。第三,提起(疑问):《怖畏电》

In short, regarding the matter of raising earth, in order to pacify disputes, to both the visible and invisible protectors, with a non-stingy mind, inform and raise the earth with value and truth. Therefore, there is raising earth to the visible and raising earth to the invisible. First, raising earth to the visible is, if that land is not owned by oneself, one must inform the landowner king or minister of that place, or raise the earth after estimating the price. As the Hevajra Tantra says: In order to pacify disputes, the compassionate yogi, in order to bring the practice to completion, informs the king and his entourage of the truth or raises the earth. Secondly, there are two types of raising earth to the invisible: raising earth to the Sugatas and raising earth to the earth goddess and her entourage. First, raising earth to the Sugatas is, as the ritual says: In the center of the extremely examined land, smear with a heavy mandala, make it flat and the size of a cowhide, and add camphor and sandalwood. The mantra practitioner should be dressed in peaceful attire, and sit comfortably with the mudras properly held. Therefore, arrange the mandala and offerings of the earth ritual, and from the peaceful preliminary ritual onwards, until the recitation, the ritual should be upright. As the ritual says: With one's own immortal samadhi, bless the offerings with samadhi wisdom, clearly manifest the supreme mandala, and properly perform offerings and so on according to the tradition. Secondly, raising earth to the earth goddess and her entourage has eight aspects: generating the samaya goddess, inviting the wisdom goddess, offering outer, inner, and secret offerings, reciting and praising, raising earth from the retinue's landowners, requesting the goddess to abide as the witness of the land, eliminating obstacles and hindrances, and the actual raising of earth. Fifth, raising earth from the retinue's landowners has six aspects: blessing the torma, inviting, offering the torma, offering golden drink, performing the torma's prayer, and establishing the torma fortress. The detailed meaning of these is stated in the ritual: The earth transforms from the syllable "LAM" (藏文:ལཾ,梵文天城体:lam,梵文罗马拟音:lam,汉语字面意思:লাম) into golden color, a vase filled with precious jewels, showing the mudra is offering and generosity. The goddess is the nature of the eye, and is shown through body, speech, and mind. Establish with the light-making mudra of one's own heart mantra. Possessing assembly discourse and samadhi.
