English version: The merits of Kṣetrajña-jñāna (Omniscient Wisdom) are boundless. Similarly, so are all the merits of this Mahābala-ratnagarbha-deva (Great Powerful Treasure Store Deity). This mantrarāja (king of mantras) is the true heart of all Tathāgatas (Thus Come Ones), capable of being the master of all lokas (worlds), saving sentient beings with evil minds, subduing sentient beings suffering from afflictions, and able to generate all wisdom. If one seeks the Treasure Store Deity, one should paint an image of the deity on the right side of the Tathāgata, white in color, holding a whisk in hand, with a complete and perfect appearance. On the right side of the deity image, paint Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva (Vajra-in-Hand Bodhisattva), with the color of a blue utpala (blue lotus) flower, adorned with pearls, with a complete and perfect appearance. In front of the Bodhisattva, paint the yakṣa (nature spirit) Mahākaruṇā-ratnabhadra-kumāra (Great Compassionate Jewel-Good Youth), with the color of clear water, a complete and perfect appearance, with a kind and gentle face, holding a vījapūraka-phalagarbha (citron fruit treasury) in his hand, wearing yellow clothes, a large crown, a damaged seat, and the left foot hanging down. In this way, the person reciting the mantra should observe from head to toe, one by one, with the proper rituals complete. In this way, after correctly visualizing for one lakh (100,000) times, generate the intention to separately perform an offering visualization. Imagine various flowers born in water, various flowers on land, various good fragrances, all kinds of treasures, wonderful clothes, and food, lamps, garlands, etc., and use them for offering. One will obtain the fulfillment of all wishes. After visualizing with such focused attention, the person reciting the mantra should again say to themselves: 'I rely on the Triratna (Three Jewels) and faithfully practice according to its rituals.' Then, according to the rituals of the deva-nāgas (gods and dragons), perform the homa (fire offering) ritual. Visualize Ratnabhadra-mahāsenāpati (Jewel-Good Great General) holding fire and placing it inside the homa furnace. Pūrṇabhadra-mahāsenāpati (Full-Good Great General) ignites the fire in the furnace. Labdhavyā-mahāsenāpati (Attainable Wealth Great General) performs the purification ritual. Bahusruta-mahāsenāpati (Much-Hearing Great General) spreads the auspicious grass seat. The Tathāgata's ritual is visualized and accomplished. Next, visualize the head mantra igniting the fire, the mouth mantra summoning, and the foot mantra providing protection, seeking accomplishment. Then perform the homa completely, throwing three times with the hand, reciting the mantra: 'Agagana(saṃ)ye svāhā' Then form the auspicious mudrā (hand gesture) and others. With both hands make a joined palm, placing the sages and saints in the middle, visualize and recite the mantra. After a short time, like wind blowing on fire. Visualize the milk mentioned earlier and perform homa one lakh times, first offering to the Aṣṭamahāvidyārāja (Eight Great Vidyārājas) and perform homa one lakh times. Next, offer to Ratnabhadra-mahāvidyārāja (Jewel-Good Great Vidyārāja), separately perform homa one lakh times, and obtain great wealth and honor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: If one recites two lakshas (laksha, one hundred thousand), descendants will prosper. If one recites three lakshas, even those with great sins can achieve this Dharma. Like this, concentrate and constantly practice. Next, perform homa (homa, fire offering) with water, using water soaked with flowers, and perform homa with one thousand portions of fragrant water, offering it to Ratnagarbha (Ratnagarbha, Treasure Store Deity), enabling one to constantly obtain wealth and constantly obtain happiness. Perform another one thousand homas to obtain the Dharma of increase. According to this ritual, visualize as before, complete the homa, and offer three samputa (samputa, a type of container) of water, and the family will obtain increase. If one performs homa five lakshas times, it can make images invisible and make hidden treasures appear, with endless enjoyment, obtaining supreme happiness. Furthermore, perform the foot mantra, mouth mantra, etc., enabling all desired matters to be accomplished. It can restrain enemies, pass beyond the realm of demons, and forever escape deep suffering. The blessings received in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down are equal to those of Indra (Indra, the lord of devas). Such is the method.
