The accomplisher of all acts, the delighter in the circle of the Jogís, the Lord of VAJRESWARI, all hear and obey this the order of VAJRASATTWA, who was created by the Yoya of the unimpassioned form of Tathagata. Om - Ka - ka - kardana-kardaa! Khá-khá, khanakhádana! destroy, destroy, all obnoxious to me; Gha gha, ghataya, ghataya! cherish and preserve the life and health, the wishes and the prosperity of the sacrificer, the holder of the thunder-bolt, commands: Hrum, Hrum, Hrum, Phat, Phat, Phat; Swáhá!"
Such is the nonsensical extravagance with which this and the Tantrika ceremonies generally abound; and we might be disposed to laugh at such absurdities, if the temporary frenzy, which the words excite in the minds of those who hear and repeat them with agitated awe, did not offer a subject worthy of serious contemplation in the study of human nature.
