It is impossible to describe with words. If Vajrapani were to strike the wheel-enclosure mountain of the vajra nature with this vajra, it would be like scattering a handful of chaff.” Then, Indra urged Mogala's son to lift the vajra. When he took hold of the vajra, the great earth shook in six ways, and the water rose into the sky, and all the oceans churned, but he could not even move the vajra. He was amazed and said to the Bhagavan, “With my miraculous power, I can place the water of the great ocean in the palm of my hand. I can also move this great trichiliocosm as easily as someone flicks a karshapana with their fingertip. I can also stop the sun and moon, and I can lift Mount Meru, the king of mountains, with one hand and throw it up to the world of Brahma. I have also subdued the Naga kings Nanda and Upananda. I have also been to the radiant world. I can also shake worlds as large as Mount Meru. But I cannot even move this small vajra. Has my miraculous power declined?” The Bhagavan replied, “Your miraculous power has not declined. However, this blessing of a Bodhisattva cannot be shaken even by Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, let alone other sentient beings. Even if one could move all the Mount Merus, the kings of mountains, in Buddha-fields as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, one could not move this vajra from here.” Mogala's son then said, “The secret lord who holds this vajra is truly amazing with great strength! Does Vajrapani's strength come from his parents, or from miraculous power?” The Bhagavan replied, “Mogala's son, the strength that comes from parents is insignificant; it is merely a name given for convenience. If the miraculous power of a Bodhisattva were fully displayed, the world, including the gods, would faint.” Then, the Bhagavan said to Vajrapani, “Lift that vajra.” The secret lord shook the world, then lifted the vajra with his left hand, threw it into the sky, spun it around seven times, and placed it in his right hand.

那些具足一切的眷属感到惊奇,特别向金刚手陈述,并为了那样的力量而祈愿,以及请问获得那样力量的原因。再者,出自《超胜三界作意大王经》中所说:世尊在须弥山顶,于以金刚和珍宝顶端构成的楼阁中,与菩提萨埵、天、龙、夜叉等众多眷属共处一处。彼时,大菩提萨埵金刚手从虚空降临,顶礼世尊之足,绕行三匝,并禀告道:世尊,我欲令大天等不驯服的众生受持誓言,恳请世尊对我下达指示。听闻此言,如来法王开示道:夜叉,你极其愤怒、傲慢且凶暴,你如何为了众生的利益而宣说如此的咒语之语?禀告道:因此,世尊,我将调伏不驯服者。因为我将以使乐于欲望安乐者屈服等方式来调伏,并使他们安住于无上安乐之中;以及通过讲述不驯服者等方式来调伏,并使他们安住于寂静之中。世尊对金刚手赐予“善哉”之语,说道:善哉!善哉!为了利益和安乐一切世间,请宣说心髓。之后,金刚手对那些对天、人、佛陀的教法具有极大信仰者开示道:诸位朋友,请皈依佛陀!也请遵循我的教令!之后,金刚手顶礼世尊之足,仅仅宣说了超胜三界的心髓,整个三千世界都剧烈摇动、震动、跳动,所有天等众生都颤抖不已,到达世尊所在之处,直至周围和周围大山等四洲的世界,一切世界都充满了众生。之后,世尊金刚手与眷属的聚

That assembly, complete with everything, was amazed and specially addressed Vajrapani, and prayed for such power, and inquired about the cause of obtaining such power. Furthermore, it is said in the Great King of Conception, "Victorious over the Three Worlds": The Blessed One was on the summit of Mount Sumeru, in a palace built of vajra and precious jewels, together with many attendants such as Bodhisattvas, gods, nagas, yakshas, etc. At that time, the great Bodhisattva Vajrapani descended from the middle of the sky, prostrated at the feet of the Blessed One, circumambulated three times, and said: Blessed One, I wish to have the great gods and other unruly beings uphold their vows, please give me instructions. Having heard these words, the Tathagata, the King of Dharma, said: Yaksha, you are very angry, arrogant, and fierce. How can you speak such mantra words for the benefit of sentient beings? He replied: Therefore, Blessed One, I will subdue the unruly. Because I will subdue those who delight in the pleasures of desire by means of subjugation, etc., and cause them to abide in unsurpassed bliss; and I will subdue them by means of teaching the unruly, etc., and cause them to abide in peace. The Blessed One gave Vajrapani the word "Good!" and said: Good! Good! For the benefit and happiness of all the world, speak the essence. Then, Vajrapani instructed those who had great faith in the teachings of gods, humans, and Buddhas: Friends, take refuge in the Buddha! And follow my commands! Then, Vajrapani prostrated at the feet of the Blessed One, and as soon as he spoke the essence of the Victorious One over the Three Worlds, the entire three thousand worlds shook, trembled, and vibrated greatly. All the gods and other sentient beings trembled and arrived at the place where the Blessed One was, and the entire realm of the four continents, including the surrounding mountains and the great surrounding mountains, was filled with all sentient beings. Then, the Blessed One Vajrapani and the assembly of attendants

观视一切后,(佛)赐予教言说:朋友们,承诺皈依佛等,也请遵从我的教言。那时,所有聚集的大众都因畏惧薄伽梵金刚手而战栗不已,于是皈依了薄伽梵如来。之后,大天之神、大能者和梵天等向佛薄伽梵祈请说:薄伽梵,像这样具有神通和巨大加持,并且调伏我们的是谁?之后,为了阐释薄伽梵的这个意义,(佛)以偈颂形式说道:为了利益一切众生,一切佛都加持,普贤是所有者的主宰,一切佛陀皆由此而生。金刚手是大夜叉,有权调伏桀骜不驯者,仅仅念诵他的名字,也能获得佛果。之后,金刚手说道:喂,众神们,皈依佛陀并遵从我的教言!这唯一燃烧的金刚杵将彻底焚烧你们所有人。之后,所有的大天等说道:你是夜叉,我们是天神,因此我们不能遵从夜叉的教言。金刚手听到后,愤怒地向薄伽梵祈请说:薄伽梵,因为您已授权并委任我调伏一切桀骜不驯者,所以,如果薄伽梵您赐予教言,我就应该调伏这位大天。之后,薄伽梵对大天说道:伟大的有情,承诺吧,他会杀了你的。之后,大天等所有三界的主宰诸神祈请说:薄伽梵,我们不会按照这位桀骜不驯的夜叉的教言行事。之后,大天向薄伽梵的足下顶礼,并对金刚手说道:喂!夜叉,我是所有者的伟大主宰,摧毁者,众生之主梵天的眷属,大自在天。之后,大菩萨金刚手愤怒地说:你是身体

Having looked at everything, (the Buddha) gave instructions, saying: Friends, promise to take refuge in the Buddha and so on, and also follow my instructions. Then, all the assembled great assembly, trembling with fear of the Bhagavan Vajrapani, took refuge in the Bhagavan Tathagata. Then, the gods of the great gods, the great powerful ones, and Brahma and others prayed to the Buddha Bhagavan, saying: Bhagavan, who is this being who has such miraculous powers and great blessings, and who tames us? Then, in order to explain this meaning of the Bhagavan, (the Buddha) spoke in verses: For the benefit of all sentient beings, all Buddhas have blessed, Samantabhadra is the master of all owners, all Buddhas are born from this. Vajrapani is a great Yaksha, who has the power to tame the unruly, and merely uttering his name, one can also attain Buddhahood. Then, Vajrapani said: Hey, gods, take refuge in the Buddha and follow my instructions! This single burning vajra will completely burn you all. Then, all the great gods and others said: You are a Yaksha, and we are gods, so we cannot follow the instructions of a Yaksha. Vajrapani, hearing this, became angry and prayed to the Bhagavan: Bhagavan, because you have authorized and appointed me to tame all the unruly, therefore, if you, Bhagavan, give the command, I should tame this great god. Then, the Bhagavan said to the great god: Great sentient being, promise, he will kill you. Then, the great god and others, the lords of all three realms, the gods, prayed: Bhagavan, we will not act according to the instructions of this unruly Yaksha. Then, the great god prostrated at the feet of the Bhagavan and said to Vajrapani: Hey! Yaksha, I am the great master of all owners, the destroyer, the lord of beings, a member of Brahma's retinue, the great Ishvara. Then, the great Bodhisattva Vajrapani said angrily: You are the body

由于罗刹食人,凶猛且行事残酷,所以非常暴戾。如果焚烧食人者的身体,怎么会是梵天、自在和伟大的自在天呢?梵天的意思是不变的。自在的意思是解脱。伟大的自在天的意思是欲界的统治者,一切众生的统治者就是我,所以我能调伏他们。说完,自在天神愤怒了,向薄伽梵顶礼膜拜。显现出巨大的可怖形象,发出愤怒的大笑,制造巨大的恐怖,极其炽盛。在无边无际的虚空世界中,化现出各种各样的形象。炽盛的形象各不相同,挥舞和投掷金刚杵、三尖矛、法轮、 शक्ति (藏文:ཤག་ཏི་,梵文天城体:शक्ति,梵文罗马拟音:śakti,汉语字面意思:夏克提,一种武器)、短棒等各种不同的武器,与众多的母神和鬼神一起显现。化现成各种各样的魔鬼和障碍制造者的形象,与极其可怖、凶猛的众多眷属一起激烈战斗和猛烈攻击。将四大部洲的世界变成夜晚的黑暗,并以炽盛的火焰堆照亮一切。然后,薄伽梵大金刚持,稍微咬紧牙齿,眉间显现出愤怒的皱纹,左眼睁大,以愤怒的金刚眼,说了甚深的心髓,那是超越三界的荣耀。说了“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,吽的声音充满了整个世界,震动摇撼。然后,自在天等所有天神都向薄伽梵祈求救护:“祈求救护,善逝,祈求救护!”并寻求庇护。然后,薄伽梵金刚手仅仅说了超越三界的心髓,所有的大天神等天神之主及其眷属都头脚倒置,被安置在须弥山顶的巨大坛城中,并被压制,金刚手以左脚踩踏。然后,薄伽梵对金刚手说了“善哉”,你的

Because the Rakshasa eats people, is fierce and acts cruelly, therefore is very violent. If the body of the man-eater is burned, how could it be Brahma, Isvara, and the great Isvara? The meaning of Brahma is unchanging. The meaning of Isvara is liberation. The meaning of the great Isvara is the ruler of the desire realm, the ruler of all sentient beings is me, so I can subdue them. Having said this, the great Isvara god became angry and prostrated to the Bhagavan. Manifesting a great terrifying form, laughing with great anger, creating great terror, extremely blazing. In the boundless empty world, he manifested various forms. The blazing forms were different, wielding and throwing vajras, tridents, chakras, Shakti (藏文:ཤག་ཏི་,梵文天城体:शक्ति,梵文罗马拟音:śakti,汉语字面意思:Shakti, a weapon), short clubs, and various other weapons, and manifested together with the numerous mother goddesses and spirits. Transforming into various forms of demons and obstacle makers, he fought fiercely and attacked violently together with the extremely terrifying and fierce numerous retinue. Turning the world of the four continents into the darkness of night, and illuminating everything with a pile of blazing flames. Then, the Bhagavan Great Vajradhara, slightly gritting his teeth, the waves of angry wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows, his left eye wide open, with an angry vajra gaze, spoke the profound essence, which is the glory that transcends the three realms. He spoke 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:Hūṃ)", the sound of Hūṃ filled the entire world, shaking and trembling. Then, all the gods, including Isvara, entreated the Bhagavan for protection: "Please protect us, Sugata, please protect us!" and sought refuge. Then, the Bhagavan Vajrapani, merely by speaking the essence that transcends the three realms, all the lords of the gods, including the great gods, and their retinue, were turned upside down, placed in the great mandala on the summit of Mount Sumeru, and suppressed, Vajrapani trampled them with his left foot. Then, the Bhagavan gave Vajrapani the word "Good!", your

像这样调伏有情众生是很好的。因此,(佛)说:“对难调者放出气息。”于是,在金刚手菩萨的加持下,他们恢复了记忆并获得了自在,立下誓言后,以金刚之名进行灌顶。大自在天是金刚的殊胜明咒。大威力者是金刚幻化。梵天是金刚无语。童音是金刚铃。帝释天是金刚兵器。同样,所有在虚空和天空中行走的,以及地上和地下的主宰,都以金刚之名灌顶,并被安置在坛城中。像这样的方式,难以调伏的三界之主及其眷属,金刚手菩萨以忿怒的方式进行调伏,这也是其他续部中经常提到的主题。 接着,《金刚手灌顶续》中说:名为普贤菩萨摩诃萨者,为了在所有花基心髓庄严的世界中,示现薄伽梵毗卢遮那过去的行为而发愿。为了掌握调伏夜叉的灌顶,在中央瞻部洲的娑婆世界柳林中,居住在旷野处的夜叉大首领,因如来光芒的照耀而眼面舒展,说了特别的赞颂之词,心中思念着如来不可思议的功德。如来说了普贤菩萨将要到来的预兆和偈颂。于是,普贤菩萨劝诱夜叉众前往如来处,并在入于名为“种种庄严”的三摩地时,示现一切行为的共同因。刹那间,毗卢遮那庄严的楼阁广大如千百万大千世界,无数珍宝柱等不可思议的庄严,以如海般的奇妙变化,被夜叉大军围绕,楼阁
