Prayer to 6 Armed Mahakala

HUM!

NYUR-DZÄ CHÄN-RÄ-ZIk-LA CH’AK TS’ÄL-LO
ZHAP-DUP-D’ANG-CHÄ VINAYAKA NÄN
NAK-PO CH’EN-PO TAK-G’I SHAM-T’AP CHÄN
CH’AK-Dr’UK DrÜL-GY’I GYÄN-GY’I NAM-PAR GYÄN

Quick-acting Avalokita, homage to you!
Wearing anklets, you trample Ganesa.
Mahakala, you wear a tiger-skin loincloth
Fully adorned with snake-ornaments on your six arms.

 

2. YÄ-PA Dr’I-G’UK B’AR-WA Tr’ENG-WA DZIN
T’A-MA DAMARU-NI Dr’AK-TU Tr’ÖL
YÖN-PA T’Ö-PA D’ANG-NI DUNG TSE-SUM
D’E-ZHIN ZHAk-PA ZUNG-NÄ CH’ING-WAR J’E

The (first) right holds a triku (chopping-knife), the middle a mala,
The last plays violently a damaru;
The left hold a skull-cup, and a three-pronged lance,
And likewise a noose, which serves for tying up.

 

3. Dr’AK-PÖi ZHÄL-NI CH’E-WA NAM-PAR TSIk
CHÄN-SUM Dr’AK-PO U’TrA GY’EN-D’U BAR
TrÄL-WAR SINDHURA-YI LEk-PAR J’Uk
CHI-WOR MI-KYÖ GYÄL-PÖi GYÄ-TAP TÄN

Your wrathful mouth completely bares its fangs
Your three eyes are fierce. The hair of your head blazes upward.
Your forehead is properly anointed with red lead.
On your crown, Aksobhya’s royal presence is fixed.

 

4. Tr’AK-DZAK MI-GO NGA-CHÜi DO-SHÄL CHÄN
RIN-CH’EN T’Ö-KAM NGA-YI U-LA GYÄN
SHING-LÄ J’ÖN-NÄ TOR-MA LEN-DZÄ-PÄi
PÄL-DÄN CH’AK-Dr’UK-PA-LA CH’AK-TS’ÄL TÖ

You wear a great necklace of fifty men ‘s heads, dripping blood.
On your crown, you’re adorned with five dry, jeweled skulls.
You come from your tree and accept our torma offering,
Glorious Six-Armed – homage and praise to you!

 

5. SANG-GYÄ TÄN-PA NYÄN-PO SUNG-WA-D’ANG
KÖN-CH’OK U-P’ANG NYÄN-PO TÖ-PA-D’ANG
DAK-CHAK PÖN-LOP K’OR-D’ANG CHÄ-NAM-KYI
KYEN-NGÄN B’AR-CH’Ä T’AM-CHÄ ZHI-WA-D’ANG
CHI-DÖ NGÖ-Dr’UP NYUR-D’U TSÄL-D’U SÖL!

Sternly protect the Doctrine of the Buddha!
Sternly praise the height of power of the Jewels!
For us – teachers, disciples and entourage –
Please quell all bad conditions and obstructions,
And grant us quickly whatever siddhis we wish!
