When a few lotsāwas, such as Gö and Chak,22 cast doubts the on the Secret Mantra tradition of the
Early Translation, the great Drokmi23 said that the eight-syllable ‘rulu’ mantra24 had been inscribed
above the entrance archway to the Vajra Seat25 and that he had seen fragments of the Śrī Heruka
and Vajrakīla texts amongst the text collections of a few paṇḍitas, although they claimed not to have
any instructions for them. In light of this some scholars suggested that the paṇḍitas and adepts of
the later period clearly practised the essence of the Early Translation tantras as extremely secret
yidam deities. In particular, the great master Padmasambhava directly transmitted the instructions
on the Single Lamp of Śrī Heruka26 to the Kashmiri Mahāpaṇḍita Śākyaśrī27 and they were translated
by Lotsāwa Rabchok Pal.28 In addition, when Jamgön Sakya Paṇḍita was residing at the monastery of
Sekshing in Shang, a yogi offered him a Sanskrit manuscript. As soon as Sakya Paṇḍita saw the
manuscript he realized that it was undoubtedly a section of the Vajrakīla root tantra which had
belonged to the precious master Padmasambhava himself. Thus, he said, “It is of exceptional
fortunate to have come upon a wish-fulfilling gem such as this. Take this manuscript and wait on the
hillside down there. We will prepare a welcoming ceremony.” Then, Sakya Paṇḍita himself presided
over an immense assembly and, accompanied by cloud banks of offerings, welcomed the scripture in
a vast ceremony. He translated the scripture himself, and the disputed scriptures of the Early
Translation, Śrī Heruka and Vajrakīla, thereafter became as indisputable as the sun and moon. Thus
Sakya Paṇḍita created the auspicious conditions for the vast spread of these scriptures’ awakened
activity.

1. ↑ These are the mantras for the principal deity Vajrakīla and his consort Dīptacakrā.

2. ↑ Each of the wrathful kings and their consorts is accompanied by a couple of a male and a female
emanated deity (sprul pa’i lha mo). The male deities, called ‘devourers’ (za byed pa), have mostly
carnivores’ heads and the female deities, called ‘slayers’ (gsod byed ma), mostly have bird’s heads.
The Tibetan words ‘phra men pha’ and ‘phra men ma’ here translated as ‘hybrid’ appear to be old
translations of the Sanskrit words ḍāka or ḍākinī. Since these deities appear to be a special type of
ḍāka or ḍākinī characterized by their animal heads, we have translated the terms here as ‘hybrid’.

3. ↑ The Sanskrit appears to be corrupted.

4. ↑ The mantra reads muhala which is likely a corruption of musala (gtun, pestle).

5. ↑ The mantra reads preta which is likely a corruption of prītu (khwa).

6. ↑ The Tibetan reads gtum po which usually translates caṇḍālī, fierce. Jayatī would be translated as
rgyal ba, victorious.

7. ↑ The Sanskrit appears to be corrupted.

8. ↑ The Sanskrit appears to be corrupted but could denote a jackdaw (pañcama-kāka).

9. ↑ The Sanskrit appears to be corrupted.

10. ↑ The Tibetan reads rig(s) byed ma. Cundī would be translated as skul byed ma.

11. ↑ Kaṣīkā is a pied avocet. The Sanskrit could also be kaśīkā, a weasel.

12. ↑ That is, the four gatekeepers.

13. ↑ Vajrakīla and his consort.

14. ↑ The ten wrathful ones.

15. ↑ Then twenty hybrids and four gatekeepers.

16. ↑ The four great sovereigns (mahātmā, bdag nyid chen po).

17. ↑ The four great territorial goddesses (mahābhūmipatī, sa bdag chen mo, also called the bse mo
goddesses).

18. ↑ The four ‘dog-headed’ goddesses (śvanmukhā, khyi yi gdong can).

19. ↑ According to Jamgön Kongtrul, with “emissaries, servants and messengers” all the deities of the
Vajrakīla maṇḍala are called upon.

20. ↑ That is Vajrakīla’s root mantra “oṃ vajra-kīli kīlaya sarva-vighnān baṃ hūṃ phaṭ”.

21. ↑ Yeru (g.yas ru) is in eastern Tsang.

22. ↑ That is Gö Lotsāwa Shönu Pal (‘gos lo tsā ba gzhon nu dpal, 1392–1481) and Chak Lotsāwa Chöjé
Pal (chag lo tsā ba chos rje dpal, 1197–1265).

23. ↑ Drokmi Lotsāwa (’brog mi lo tsā ba, 992–1072/1074) was a renowned translator of the early Sarma
period.

24. ↑ That is, the mantra of Śrī Heruka or Yangdak Heruka, one of the yidam deities of the Nyingma
school. The full mantra reads: “oṃ ru lu ru lu hūṃ bhyoḥ hūṃ”.

25. ↑ That is, Bodh Gayā.

26. ↑ Given that Guru Padmasambhava had already left Tibet and India by the time that Śākyaśrī lived,
it’s likely that Padmasambhava transmitted these teachings to Śākyaśrī in a vision.

27. ↑ Śākyaśrī or Śākyaśrībhadra (~1127–1225) was a major Kashmiri sūtra and yoginītantra
commentator. He travelled together with nine paṇḍitas to Tibet in 1204 at the invitation of Tropu
Lotsāwa Rinchen Sengé (khro phu lo tsā ba rin chen seng+ge, b. 1173). He remained for ten years in
Tibet, during which time he gave many empowerments and teachings. Likely around 1204, he met
Sakya Paṇḍita (1182–1251). In 1214 Śākyaśrī returned to Kashmir. The Tengyur lists 23 works
attributed to him as an author, some of which are translated here:
https://www.lotsawahouse.org/indian-masters/shakyashribhadra/

28. ↑ The translation of Śākyaśrī’s works into Tibetan was mainly done by the lotsāwas Rabchok Palzang
(rab mchog dpal bzang, ?) and Champa Pal (byams pa dpal, 1173–1225).

29. ↑ That is, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo.

30. ↑ The Sublime Knowledge of Vajrakīla or Vidyottama Tantra is one of the main Vajrakīla tantras.

31. ↑ This aspiration prayer for publishing the Vajrakīla Root Tantra Section was likely added by Jamyang
Khyentsé Chökyi Lodrö.
