Endowed with virtues, spontaneously accomplished, the great selflessness, the immutable and eternal nature of reality, without action or agent, naturally and effortlessly, the ultimate treasury of meaning, perfected in the essence of enlightenment itself. Thus, as the supreme method of taming, a firm vow is made. The third (chapter) has six (parts): The Vajra family establishes the decree, the lord of the family establishes the decree, the Ratna family establishes the decree, the Karma family establishes the decree, the Tathagata family establishes the decree, and the Padma family establishes the decree. The first (part) is from "Then" to "as a mudra," a firm vow is made. Thus it is taught: Then, the lineage and assembly of the Tathagata Vajra family, in order to avert the cause of suffering, anger, decreed the sutra. For those extremely wicked and violent beings who fall into the hell of wailing caused by karma, even if they are tamed with peace in a way that does not contradict the method of taming, it will not be beneficial. Therefore, the nature of emptiness wisdom and appearance skillful means that are in harmony with it, all Tathagatas should manifest in a wrathful and terrifying form. Why is this? Because of the power of karma, the great wisdom of the wrathful form manifests, and great compassion arises, similar to Rudra (Shiva), even with the power of wrath, it can terrify all beings in the three realms. Moreover, the wrath manifested by the wisdom and great compassion of the true Buddhas will surely liberate all beings in the three realms and accomplish all deeds, what need is there to say more! Therefore, in order to tame all difficult-to-tame beings and to purify the hatred of those who hold vows, with the great fire of both concord and antidote, from the nine wrathful dances, manifest the mudra of the charnel ground dance. Thus, a firm vow is made. The second (part) is from "Then, the Tathagata Vajra Essence" to "a firm vow is made." Thus it is taught: Then, the lord of the Tathagata family, Vajra Essence, is the name of the retinue called "Sole Certainty," and also the lord of that family, Vajrasattva, is the spiritual friend of all Buddhas. They issued a decree in order to tame those who have strayed into the wrong path with accommodating means.

啊，宣说了断除之经。对于那些进入了未颠倒的教法，却又极度执着于颠倒，并随心所欲行事，注定堕入无间地狱的众生，用不相顺应的真实柔和之语来开导也无济于事。唯有以相应的行为，才能揭示那难以测度的甚深秘密乘。因此，要运用各种象征、四种隐喻和四种意趣等多种方法，在此，务必以一切随顺的方式来调伏，使其确信真实。调伏的尺度要与大乘密咒的事业相符，对于那些行为方式与四种事物相符，却又随心所欲行事的人，甚至有可能使一切众生背离如来教诲的真意，转而走向邪道，就像鲁达拉的行为一样。因此，诸佛以其真实的慈悲和善巧方便，运用随顺的行为，能够将误入歧途者引向正道，这又何须多言呢？因此，譬如用酒来治疗酒病一样，要用事物来解脱事物；又如用毒药来解除五种毒病一样，为了这个目的，要以顺应和不顺应两种方式，以无数种不可思议的殊胜方法，以舞蹈的印契来调伏众生。如此坚定地作出了决断。第三部分是，从“此后，如来宝”到“作出了决断”之间所阐述的内容。此后，如来宝部的种姓和僧团宣说了断除贪恋者脱离阎罗王世界的经典。对于那些对食物和财物极度吝啬和贪婪，注定因贪婪之业而堕入饿鬼阎罗道的众生，布施对他们毫无益处。要以随顺的方式，将他们引入正道，使他们能够从无有之物中获得无尽的功德，并从各方面涌现出来，从而能够主宰一切事物，像取之不尽的宝藏一样。这是为什么呢？因为那些具有苦行持戒之品行，且极度吝啬的人，会积聚财物，堵塞了向他人布施的途径。然而，不布施的力量，却能使他们在一生中得以生存和维持。那么，诸佛拥有无尽的虚空宝藏，难道

Ah, the Sutra of Severance was spoken. For those beings who have entered the undeluded teachings but are extremely attached to delusion and act according to their own whims, who are destined to fall into the Avici Hell, pacifying them with gentle words of truth that are not in harmony will be of no benefit. Only by actions that are in accordance with them can the profound secret vehicle that is difficult to fathom be revealed. Therefore, use various symbols, the four metaphors, and the four intentions, and many other methods. Here, be sure to subdue them with methods that are all in accordance, so that they may be certain of the truth. The measure of subduing should be in accordance with the activities of the Great Vehicle Secret Mantra. For those whose behavior is in accordance with the four things, but who act according to their own whims, it is even possible that they could turn all beings away from the true meaning of the Buddha's teachings and lead them astray, like the behavior of Rudra. Therefore, the Buddhas, with their true compassion and skillful means, can straighten those who have gone astray by means of actions that are in accordance with them, what need is there to say more? Therefore, just as one uses alcohol to cure alcohol sickness, one should liberate things with things; and just as one uses poison to cure the five poisons, for this purpose, one should subdue beings with both harmonious and disharmonious methods, with countless inconceivable supreme methods, and by raising the mudra of dance. Thus, a firm determination was made. The third part is what is taught from "Then, the Tathagata Jewel" to "made a determination." Then, the lineage and assembly of the Tathagata Jewel family proclaimed the Sutra of Severance to liberate those who are greedy from the realm of Yama. For those beings who are extremely stingy and greedy for food and wealth, who are destined to fall into the realm of hungry ghosts and Yama due to the karma of greed, giving alms will be of no benefit to them. One should lead them into the path by means of accordance, so that they can obtain inexhaustible merits from things that are without substance, and emerge from all directions, so that they can control all things, and be like an inexhaustible treasure. Why is that? Because those who have the qualities of ascetic discipline and are extremely stingy will accumulate wealth and block the path of giving to others. However, the power of not giving can enable them to live and sustain themselves for a lifetime. Then, the Buddhas possess the inexhaustible treasury of space, do they not?

通过控制欲望的产生，能够消除三界的痛苦，更不用说其他的了。因此，用随顺来调伏，用吝啬来满足贪婪；用对治来调伏，为了完全消除欲望的痛苦，用两种调伏方法，从精通大乘秘密殊胜方法的享受中，在无尽虚空藏的手印中建立并调伏吧！这样，就确定无疑地断除了贪欲者的堕落。第四是，从“此后如来童子”到“断除无疑”。这段话表明，此后，如来童子种姓的血统和僧团，颁布了调伏懈怠者的教令之经。对于那些非常懒惰和散乱，以至于在八无暇处漂泊的应调伏者，劝勉他们解脱并不会使他们变得精进。因此，用随顺来调伏，从无所作为的法性状态中，用无为的方法来调伏吧！调伏的标准，与不动摇的禅定，无所作为的方式相同，安住于执持平静的懈怠中，即使在道路上没有作为，也能切断殊胜解脱的道路，从而毁灭它。因此，从无所作为的真实意义中，以不动摇的大乐来阻止世间的懈怠散乱，更不用说其他的了。因此，为了摧毁目的和果实，即随顺的部分，切断无暇之业的相续；为了摧毁原因，即对治的部分，摧毁懒惰散乱的敌军。用对治来调伏随顺的功德，从无偏颇的舍的大瑜伽中，在确定无疑地安住于胜者意念的无为法性中建立手印，并做殊胜的事业吧！这样，就确定无疑地断除了。第五是，从“此后如来象”到“断除无疑”。这段话表明，此后，如来象种姓的血统和僧团，颁布了调伏愚痴者的教令之经。对于那些非常愚痴和迷惑，以至于堕入旁生之道的应调伏者，用对治的法来教导，他们也不会理解和明白。因此，用随顺来调伏，不作任何分别地。

By controlling the arising of desires, one can eliminate the suffering of the three realms, let alone anything else. Therefore, subdue with accordance, satisfy greed with miserliness; subdue with antidotes, in order to completely eliminate the suffering of desires, with both methods of subduing, from the enjoyment of being skilled in the secret and supreme methods of the Great Vehicle, establish and subdue in the mudra of the inexhaustible treasury of space! Thus, it is definitively cut off that the fall of the lustful is certain. The fourth is, from "Then, the Tathagata Youth" to "definitively cut off." This indicates that, thereafter, the lineage of the Tathagata Youth's clan and the assembly of the sangha, proclaimed the sutra of the decree to subdue the lazy. For those who are extremely lazy and distracted, so much so that they wander in the eight unfree states, urging them to liberation will not make them diligent. Therefore, subdue with accordance, from the state of the nature of non-action, subdue with the method of non-action! The standard of subduing, similar to the unwavering meditation, the way of non-action, abiding in the laziness of holding equanimity, even without action on the path, can cut off the path of supreme liberation, thereby destroying it. Therefore, from the true meaning of non-action, with the unwavering great bliss, to prevent the worldly laziness and distraction, let alone anything else. Therefore, in order to destroy the purpose and the fruit, which is the part of accordance, to cut off the continuity of the unfree karma; in order to destroy the cause, which is the part of the antidote, to destroy the enemy forces of laziness and distraction. Subdue with the antidote, the merit of accordance, from the great yoga of impartiality and equanimity, establish the mudra in the non-action dharma nature of the Victor's intention, which is certain to abide, and do the supreme deeds! Thus, it is definitively cut off. The fifth is, from "Then, the Tathagata Elephant" to "definitively cut off." This indicates that, thereafter, the lineage of the Tathagata Elephant's clan and the assembly of the sangha, proclaimed the sutra of the decree to subdue the ignorant. For those who are extremely ignorant and deluded, so much so that they fall into the realm of animals, even if taught the dharma of the antidote, they will not understand and comprehend. Therefore, subdue with accordance, without making any distinction.

从平等性中，将一切都作为在法性上没有差别的巨大愚痴来行持！以调伏的尺度，以与真实的愚痴相同的方式，被巨大的无明黑暗所压制，如果在三世中都不能见到真实意义，而在黑暗中漂泊，那么，通过无分别、无执着、大平等性、无取舍的清净意，能够消除三界的全部愚痴，更何况呢？因此，为了摧毁黑暗的生源，作为对治品，以及为了以随顺的方式调伏，使愚痴自净于虚空，从清净愚痴的智慧中，作为方便的对治品，升起不杂、圆满的手印，并调伏之！如是坚定地作出了决断。第六是，从“此后，如来莲花部”到“作出了决断”之间所阐述的。此后，如来莲花部的种姓和部众宣说了调伏贪欲者的经，对于那些极度贪恋和执着，将要堕入胎生虫类的众生，用舍弃贪欲的方便对治品是无益的，因此，通过随顺的方式来调伏，从无贪与贪欲的广大智慧中，将一切如来显现为父母双运的大贪欲！这是为什么呢？因为，具有无贪与贪欲之相的真实结合，与相似的邪淫不同，谁拥有它，谁以贪欲行事的力量，也能使三界的一切城市都极度执着而不分离，成为贪欲血流成河的海洋。那么，诸佛从贪欲清净的自性中，以贪欲的方式行事，能够消除三界的一切执着，更何况呢？因此，为了作为对治品，使贪欲血海干涸，以及为了以随顺的方式，以贪欲来斩断贪欲，以随顺和对治两种方式来调伏，从贪欲清净的广大智慧自性中，升起贪欲之舞的手印，并作嬉戏之乐！如是坚定地作出了决断。如此这般，九个决断与第二十一章结合起来进行了解释。第四部分有三个方面：以随顺进入的一般行为来调伏，以及事业方

From equality, act with everything as great ignorance without differentiation in the nature of reality! With the measure of taming, in the same way as true ignorance, being suppressed by the great darkness of ignorance, if one cannot see the true meaning in all three times and wanders in darkness, then, through non-discrimination, non-attachment, great equanimity, and the pure intention without acceptance or rejection, it is needless to say that all the ignorance of the three realms can be eliminated. Therefore, in order to destroy the source of darkness, as a countermeasure, and in order to tame in a compliant manner, to purify ignorance itself in the sky, from the wisdom of pure ignorance, as a countermeasure of means, arise the unmixed, complete mudra, and tame it! Thus, a firm decision was made. The sixth is what is explained from "Then, the Tathagata Lotus Family" to "made a decision." Then, the lineage and assembly of the Tathagata Lotus family proclaimed the sutra of taming the greedy. For those beings who are extremely greedy and attached and are about to fall into the womb-born insects, it is useless to use the expedient countermeasure of abandoning greed. Therefore, tame them in a compliant manner. From the great wisdom of non-greed and greed, may all the Tathagatas appear as the great greed of the union of father and mother! Why is that? Because the true union with the aspect of non-greed and greed is different from similar perverted lust. Whoever possesses it, whoever acts with the power of greed, can also make all the cities of the three realms extremely attached and inseparable, becoming an ocean of greed and blood. Then, the Buddhas, acting in the manner of greed from the pure nature of greed, can eliminate all the attachments of the three realms, let alone! Therefore, in order to dry up the sea of greed and blood as a countermeasure, and in order to cut off greed with greed in a compliant manner, tame with both compliant and countermeasure methods, from the great wisdom nature of pure greed, arise the mudra of the dance of greed, and make the music of play! Thus, a firm decision was made. In this way, the nine decisions are combined with the twenty-first chapter and explained. The fourth part has three aspects: taming with general behavior that enters in accordance, and the activity meth
