Painted reliefs. Below that are the dhāraṇīs and painted reliefs of the Yoga section. Below that are the dhāraṇīs and painted reliefs of the Conduct section. Below that are the dhāraṇīs and painted reliefs of the Sutra section. Furthermore, all the dhāraṇī scrolls and images should be bound together without inverting the top and bottom. If the wide dhāraṇī scrolls cannot fit into the small reliquary, it is said that there is no contradiction in supporting the head of the dhāraṇī to the right and binding it horizontally. If the large reliquary is not full, the volumes of sutras and tantras can also be placed separately in the upper, middle, and lower parts according to the previous order. All the spaces between them should be tightly packed with fragrant incense bundles and the like. The boundaries between each section of dhāraṇīs should be marked with yellow silk. Up to that point, the aspect of the body is completely placed. Then, auspicious verses are recited in the center of the lotus seat. Around it, the dhāraṇī mantras of the Dharma protectors and retinues, and wealth deities, etc., are placed. If available, the life wheels and soul stones of each are also placed. In particular, the wealth deity wheel should be wrapped in yellow cloth, with the female wheel on top and the male wheel below, so that it faces the front of the main deity's head. Precious gems, grains, medicines, silks, and other valuables should also be placed. Furthermore, in order to eliminate faults such as confusion of dhāraṇīs, it is said that the Wisdom Pigeon Dhāraṇī and the Essence of Interdependent Origination can be placed in all the upper and lower parts. Then, draw a boundary with silk and recite: Oṃ Dhātu Garbhe Svāhā (藏文:ༀ་དྷཱ་ཏུ་གརྦྷེ་སྭཱ་ཧཱ།, Devanagari: , IAST: oṃ dhātu garbhe svāhā, Literal meaning: Om, Essence of the Realm, Svaha!). In order to arrange the base, a vajra cross pattern should be drawn. Thus, the offering of dhāraṇīs is completed. Incense with gugul, and until the consecration is completed, cover it with red or yellow silk, and also place various tools of the craftsman nearby, as there is a need to prevent obstacles. ༈ Also, for stupas, the previous crown of the image and the head dhāraṇīs are offered inside the Dharma wheel and the umbrella. From the vase downwards to the foundation virtue upwards, the unsurpassed, yoga, conduct, action, and sutra dhāraṇīs are offered in order as before. The lotus dhāraṇīs are placed on the throne. If you want to elaborate on the practice when building a large stupa, offer the lower dhāraṇīs below the tiers as appropriate. After the tiers are completed, place the mandala of the stainless crown jewel inside the vase support.
