The wrathful deities of the three realms, and the retinue whose nature is precious, namely the Dharmakaya of the Buddha, the Nirmanakaya, the Dharma to be practiced, the Dharma of the path, the Dharma of ultimate meaning, the Sangha of Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattva heroes, the worldly retinue, namely the gods who delight in the Buddha's teachings, the king of the Asuras, Taksangri, the retinue of wisdom, namely the wisdom of the loving Dakinis, and so on, immeasurable beings, and the worldly and transworldly retinues, including the king of the Gandharvas, Five Crests. Having rejoiced after hearing these words, they praised the words of the Bhagavan with one voice. Those retinues also directly saw the appearance of Dharmata and remained inseparable in the Dharmata of the Great Perfection. It is explained in the chapter of names such as "String of Pearls". Nature is supreme, the meaning beyond mental fabrication. Complete in oneself, one does not need to seek from others. Others are complete in oneself, therefore there is no acceptance or rejection. Great because there is nothing else above it. Because it is superior in view, one meditates on the boundless totality, transforming desirable qualities into the path. Conduct is the union of appearance and awareness, therefore it is the supreme great. The tantra is named as the tantra of fifty-five thousand. The shlokas are six hundred and forty thousand. This "String of Pearls" tantra is arranged in eight chapters, and these special features arise from within them. The complete conclusion is without excess or deficiency, and it explains all the meanings of the intention without omission. Called "Illuminating the Jewel Pearl", like a lamp in a small darkness. Composed by the Indian scholar Vimalamitra, it is completely finished. Entrusted to the glorious mantra-protecting queen, the black wrathful queen. Samaya. Such a profound teaching as this, it is believed that it does not exist in other Jambudvipa. Therefore, engrave it in the heart of the fortunate one, Samaya. Gya Gya Gya. Dedicate the merit for the benefit of beings. May you quickly attain the essence of Bodhi. Meditate in a secluded place like Akanishta. Like Vajradhara, Guru Jo-ber. Like the Lord of Secrets, Drukgu Jo-bum Nga. Explaining the Dharmata of self-recognition, I requested the "String of Pearls". May beings benefit from virtue.
