Homage to the presence of the Teacher gShen rab. As for the requisites to be collected for the ritual for the cereṃony for the subjugation of the Dar Sri: an arrow with coloured cloths, a black and a white base for the g.yang, coloured wool; a die, a mirror, cooked rice, noodles, a set of clothing filled with butter (?), [a series of] “slaty valleys”, a step-ladder, nine passes made of sand, white and black pebbles, balls of wool dyed with ṃadder, birch [wood?], willow [wood?], different varieties of food, buttered beer, [requireṃents for an initiation] of the nine-peaked dbal bshos [gtor ma] – these should be gathered together. The skulls for the subjugation are the following: tiger, yak and wolf – those three; monkey, goat and dog – those three; bird, weasel and rat – nine in all. The subjugation should be done together with the traps. Draw a crossed vajra on the forepart of the skull, a cross of swastikas on the occiput, and a khram cross on the section of the skull between the nose and the eyes (mtshul pa < tshur pa); Write “Bind with Bon, Chos and rTsis, those three”.

On the crown of the effigy write AUM; on the heart, KHAR TRI; on the right and left shoulders PUNG; in the right armpit KHRI, and in the left HUM; on the limbs (bla = brla) BLA DAG; on the privy parts write RBAD—this is to be written. When [the sri] is being subjugated, tormas should be offered to the protectors, and a sacred dance performed; it should be thoroughly pressed down. Doing this will be fortunate and auspicious for the patron and the priest. Kyai! After accumulating all the ritual items and requisites for the Sri [ritual] of sTon pa gshen rab, for the first sri [or, as for the sri, first:] black and while seals should be attached to the bottom of the triangle. The feeding of the srin mo should performed as follows. Listen, Nine-headed Dam sri! Are you not in the dark continent, the land of the Srin? Are you not cold in that ocean? Are you not at the bottom of the nine levels? Black srin mo, you who are dwelling there, under the nine levels,

the Nine Sri moan dings se ding; the darkness of karma (?) masses like clouds thibs se thibs, and the ocean of suffering rolls me-re-re; the waves of the waters of desire heave/are agitated. What is this called, what is its name? In the dense darkness of the land of the Srin, there you dwell in the darkness of karma, there the hot water of hell boils, there the mountain of suffering weighs down heavily. In a place such as this was the father of the Sri, named Yag sha kar ti kar, and the mother of the Sri named Rigs ngan dug [m]chu ma. The mother bore two children. The father prayed for a son, and the mother prayed for a daughter.

The mother's prayer was more powerful, and she bore a Sri, she bore a daughter: an ill-omened daughter with upper teeth, teeth that had grown while she was in her mother's belly. The father was enraged, and flung her into a pit of ashes. Her mother cared for her, she took her to her bosom, and the girl again quickened and came to life. The mother later looked after her, and the father gave her a name: Ash-coloured Girl who was Buried. The mother gave her a name, Black Raging Woman, Risen Corpse; her brother gave her a name, Lovely Uncared-for Girl. Her maternal uncle (zhang po) gave her a name: Srin mo Dam zur legs ma (Legs ma who shirks her commitments). When she reached the age of nine, she said, "I shall go to the land of humans". And the demoness Dam zur legs mo

The Demoness did not recognise sTon pa, and sTon pa did not recognise the Demoness. The Demoness said, "Mighty Youth, with the Topknot (zur phud), you,

So said the girl, and sTon pa gshen rab replied, "You, beautiful young woman, you with the beautiful turquoise-braided plaits (lan phran), where have you come from today, where will you go tonight?

My father is the Butcher Kar te kar; my mother is Low-born Poison-lips; my sister's husband is She'u ru dkar, and my bone, my clan, is She za. As for who sent me, my father and mother it was who sent me; it is for all living beings that I have appeared. I shall snatch ('jab) the lives of a hundred men; I am going to steal the children (sri) of a hundred women; I am going to snatch the souls of a hundred children; I am going to bring harm to all humans". So said the Demoness. The white rider said, "As for where I have come from this morning, I have come from (na for nas) the upper realm of the gshen,

It is for all Phung-vampires that I have appeared, and I am going to kill all male demons, and I am going to capture and oppress all their womenfolk, and to eat all their children. Nor shall I spare you, girl!" And all at once ('jur gyis) he drew his dagger, and he seized the girl firmly by her chest. "You, Lovely Girl who was Uncared for, if you have a few words to say, say them with sincerity; you have no power to go even a few steps". So he said, and the black Demoness was suddenly terrified;

and the lovely Dam sri said, "Oh, what are you saying? I hadn't recognised you as sTon pa, I hadn't realised you were gShen rab. I shall not compete with you; I would not cause trouble to the sTon pa family. If you do not kill or harm me, I shall do whatever you tell me to, I shall not disobey your orders. I shall not go to the realm of humans, and you, do not go to the realm of the demons!" So said the Demoness. Then sTon pa returned his dagger to its sheath, and bestowed the blessing of the dBal bshos rtse dgu. "Listen to me, Lovely Girl who was Uncared for! I don't mean it, I'm only joking. I shall not kill you, I shall not harm you. You are my mother's kin, and I am your

The two of us are mched gcig (? companions? siblings?); let us place the dBal bshos rtse dgu on our heads, let us pour (btang) three drops of oath-water (sna chu = mna' chu) into our bellies (khang for khong). Neither shall I go to the realm of the Demons, nor shall you go to the realm of humans. If ever, in the distant future, there is a time when the need arises, if I call you, come more readily than a dog; if I seize you, you must be easier to catch than a sheep; if I lift you, may you be lighter than wool; if I tread you down, be more treadable than the earth; [To do] good things is our agreement/engagement; [doing] bad things isn’t in our agreement.

renege on your oath, eating it as you eat food; I and you have a special promise. Let us ask sTag la me 'bar to act as witness. Should the time come when I need you, and I send someone to fetch you, aunt, you must come without deviating". So he spoke, and the aunt and the nephew who had made their promise separately. That is why the vampires (srin mo) are constant and why, if you call them, them, they come. Both the mna’ and the chad (the internal oath and the details of the agreement) were implemented (dgos pa for bsgos). That is the reason for the consecration of the dBal bshos rtse dgu, and the reason why [people] are received with butter and beer. This next teaching (bon) is called the “ritual for the detatchment of support for the vampire” and this is how it is recited: Bhyo! First, separate (bshos for shos) into sky and earth; then separate into south and north; then separate into sunlight and shade;

then separate into srin and srid; at the boundary of the glaciers of the supreme golden mountains, on a cairn that only just existed, a white crystal egg came into being, and a white crystal man appeared. He rode a white crystal horse as his mount, and in his hand he held a white crystal noose. First he flung the noose like an arrow, then the noose wound around like a dragon. (I?) make offerings to you of the yellow libation of turquoise; (I?) make libations to you of the blue libation of turquoise. Do not support the evil vampire! And again, at the very beginning of existence in non-existence, there appeared a man of agate (gzi). As his mount he rode a three-legged horse of gzi, and in his hand he held a noose of gzi. First he flung the noose like an arrow, then

And again, yang cig srid pa'i tho cig la, a black man of iron, riding a three-legged iron horse as his mount, holding in his hand an iron bow and arrow. First he casts his noose like an arrow, and then it winds like a snake: I offer you the yellow libation of gold, I offer you the blue libation of turquoise. Do not support the evil vampire! And again, yang cig srid pa'i tho cig la, a red man of copper, riding a red copper horse as his mount, and holding in his hand a red copper noose. First 2772a

To [you], the earth-god rTsang rtsang and your retinue of men, I offer the yellow libation of gold, I offer the blue libation of turquoise. Do not support the evil vampire! Gold has five virtues: if it is heated in the fire, it does not burn. If it is buried in the earth it is not turned to dust by the earth; if its placed in water it is not swept away; if it is held out in the wind it is not stirred; if it is beaten with wood it is not broken.

virtues: if it touches the tongue, it quenches thirst; if it enters the body it generates radiance (gzi mdang); it gives fools the capacity to speak; it gives cowards heroic strength. Whoever drinks it becomes formidable. Drink the nectar of this golden libation! Do not support the evil vampire! With these words, cast a first-offering to the four directions. For the ritual of subjugating the vampire, collect nine skulls – those of a tiger (or horse?), yak, and wolf among others – as well as other requisites. Take the libation and the gtor ma [mnan pa] (or: the tormas to be subjugated?) outside and, holding the arrow with the coloured ribbons, say as follows:
Kyai! In the land called Mi yul skyi thing, there was a father, and and the father's name was Kha rje dur pa; there was a mother, and the mother's name was Kha che thang mo.

retrieve her from the centre of the earth! If the vampire flees beneath the highway, go, fearsome brown bear, and bring her back from beneath the highway!

If the vampire flees beneath the hearth, go, yak-headed one, and retrieve her from under the hearth! sri aghu sha rni dza.
