Roll up a piece of paper with this mantra inscribed on it and place it inside [the effigy]. For the effigy for this Three-headed [Man] from the Black Rituals, with soft clay mix earth from beneath the [house of a] blacksmith and the earth from ruined building. Build a two-level Sumeru inside an iron skillet, and on top of that make the body of a human with three heads. To the right there should be the blue head of a tiger; to the left the black head of a pig; and in the centre, there should be the yellow head of a bull. [It should have] the tail of a monkey. In the right hand insert a red torma, with ephedra and white mustardseed, and in the right a tally-stick. Smear the body with the ash of a [cremated] corpse and poison blood.

There should be a black canopy with rainbow patterns, and thread crosses of the same colour as the respective models of the heads. Make whatever black thread crosses and splints as there [ought to] be. There should be the eight trigrams, and at the waist there should be the nine magic squares and nine heart-shaped tormas-vessels; the twelve months of the annual cycle and twelve splints (or: twelve splints for the twelve months of the annual cycle); the sky-splints should accord with the time (?). For living beings in general there should be eight precious rgyang bu: to the east, for the tiger and the hare, green; to the south, for the horse and the snake, red; to the west, for the bird and the monkey, white; to the north, for the rat and the pig, black; in the four intermediate directions, there should be the dog, the dragon, the bull and the sheep—yellow. For the annual cycle of twelve months there should be twelve precious splints. On the upper part of its body there should be the eight trigrams and eight ngar mi. At the waist, there should be the nine magic squares and nine heart-shaped torma-vessels (’brang rgyang = ’brang rgyas). There should be cups of blood to the right and left; [dough prints of] vampires that prey on men and of those that prey on women. [The central effigy] should be surrounded by twelve food-tormas and twelve tetrahedrons, as well as squeezed cylinders, pieces of meat, the feather of an owl and the feather of a crow, ephedra, white mustardseed and the various ritual items for [repelling] gossip.

To the east there should be a half-disc; to the south a triangle; to the west a disc and to the north a square. Make a black base for its seat, and once all these have been assembled, recite as follows: In the beginning there was nothing, and through the compassion of the exalted Magical King, in order to benfit the six categories of beings, there appeared the Great Gold turtle, an emanation of the gods who are lords of the earth. That Great Gold turtle became the five great elements. In order to repel the [the ills of] the phenomenal world, to repel all ills, and to repel all ’dre and gdon demons, an old man influenced by the trigram Khen, “the angry one”, coupled mentally with the mother, an elderly woman influenced by the trigram Khon. After nine months and ten days [there was born a creature] unlike either its father or its mother, with the body of a human and three heads. Its mother, the elderly Khen Woman,

Put our misfortunes into the skillet, and at the place where the ways meet at a crossroads, eat these ransoms and this gossip as your food!” With these words she took it to a crossroads. Whatever the Three-headed Black One met on the way it reduced to dust; it devoured people till their lands were emptied, so that the world with as many people as it has in it, was brought low, and the three worlds were emptied. (excursus on the three heads and their “entering the womb” of respective planets follows)

(from line 3)  This Three-headed Black Man did he, with his exalted compassion, decide to subjugate. The supremely wise Magical King manifested a form that resembled it. The fearful heads of this Three-headed Black One made a smacking sound and the world shuddered; fire blazed from its eyes and steam fell from its mouths. With its fangs bared and its eyes wide open it said, “You are not a human but a howling demon, and I subdue everything.

I shall subdue you!” With these words he made as if to eat it, and took it in his mouth (zhabs du = zhal du?). Trebling with fear, it said, “Mighty one, hear me – I shall obey your words!” The supremely wise Kongtse said, “You, Three-headed Black One, in this sullied era of the last five hundred years, repel [the evils] of the phenomenal world. Reverse the great obstructions; if there are illnesses, heal them; let the young be born from their nests (?); drive away all that brings harm. Sit in the skillet as your seat, and eat various kinds of gossip as your food.

Now is the time when you are needed. Remember your promise of old, and do not violate the command of Kongtse. Repaying the kindness of our patron is a never-ending affair. Cause this gto to be diffused into this place. Hey, you Three-headed Black one, powerful one of the three worlds, the time has come to repel the [ills of] the phenomenal world. Whomsoever you meet, transform them into that (?); whether it be the name or the year, transform it into that (? lo for la; Karma Tsering’s text has ming dgra lo dgra); transform it into the lowest of creatures, the dog; transform it into inanimate earth and rock! Dispel today the year-obstructions and the month-obstructions! Dispel the obstructions of the days and the hours! Although our munificent patron and I are men who are bound to die, put off that day for ten years! King of Changes, make the transformation! Transform all the great obstructions.

Cast the torma-missile at our enemies with your ring-finger; with your tally-stick lay these hostile obstructions on the whipping-board. With the serpent belt that’s tied around you, transform all harmful kinds of serpent-spirits; with your winding monkey’s tail transform all calamities, illness and gdon demons; with those bared talons of the baleful bird, transform all evil omens and inauspicious signs into the enemy (or probably: transform all hostile evil omens and inauspicious signs). Act today as the King of Changes! Transform all ill omens and inauspicious signs, and the different kinds of human afflictions; transform the hunger and thirst of the pretas;

Hey! To the Three-headed Black Man and the Eight Classes of Gods and Demons we offer precious splints, all kinds of grain, tormas, meat and buttons of dough. I beseech you to perform a repulsion in the phenomenal world. Repel great lust and dread; repel evil prognostications and bad dreams! First, may this ritual repel the obstructions of one’s own birth year; secondly, may it repel serious illness; third, may it repel misfortune and loss; fourth, may it repel the “fourth-year harmer”; fifth, may it repel the “particular ones”; sixth, may it repel dreadful curses; seventh, may it repel “seventh-year edge”; eighth, may it repel the “Evil eight”; ninth, may it repel the “Raptor”; tenth, may it repel the “Cemetery Cell”; eleventh,

Note
In accordance with the appeal (on line 4) for the ritual to “repel evil prognostications”, this section lists a number of inauspicious astrological and divinatory circumstances that are to be neutralised. Expressions in inverted commas are tentative glosses of terms for which some commentary is required. The “personal obstruction” denotes the year of one’s birth in the duodecenary cycle of animals; the recurrence of this year every twelve years entails risks against which appropriate ritual precautions should be taken. “Fourth-year harmer” signifies a year that is inauspicious because it falls four years before or after one’s own birth year. For someone born in a Monkey year, for example, the Dragon and Rat years are dangerous because they fall four years before and four years after the Monkey year in the sequence. Such years are known respectively as the “upper fourth harmer” (yar bzhi gshed) and the “lower fourth harmer” (mar bzhi gshed). The “Seventh-year edge”denotes the inauspicious year that is seven years away from one’s own birth year in either direction of counting. Thus the Hare is the “Seventh-year edge” of Bird, and vice versa. Individuals who are in their Seventh-year Edge are customarily excluded from certain activities such as helping to carry corpses to the cemetery, because of the adverse effects their inauspicious nature may have on the subsequent lot of the deceased.

Hey, here in the phenomenal world of appearances, there are many living beings in the six realms, but there is none that is more dangerous, more celebrated, or more powerful than I. I am the manifestaton of the Magical King; my heart is completely equipped with magical power and precepts, and my body is possessed of all the secret gestures; I have the strength of many kinds of magic, and I wield power over the gods and demons of the thrice-thousand worlds. I bring low all noxious beings, crush the haughty and overpower the mighty. I, the Wise King, have all the gods and demons of the phenomenal world as my followers. All the gods and demons who generate the elements

Though they may wield power over the elements, I have the armour of unwavering contemplation, and spin the weapon of the wheel in my hand. Nothing at which I hurl it can withstand it. With my consciousness endowed with the energy of awareness I overcome the hostile forces beyond, and defeat whatever causes harm. But I bring succour to those who suffer and wisdom to the benighted, and I dispel the doubts of doubters. I ride the steed of wisdom and hold a mirror that brings clarity to the consciousness. Clairvoyance shines in my mind, and I know the thoughts of all, without exception, in the thrice-thousand worlds. You noxious demons – wretched ones! It is because of your wicked deeds that you have found such vile forms. Moving through the sky, how pitiful you are!

Revolting are you in your loathsomeness: I conquer all – obey my command! I shall give you the five kinds of food and drink. I understand the deep meaning, and you would do well to obey me. You will enjoy happiness now and in the future. It is because you did not settle the nature of your mind that you are suffering torment. Hey, of all the hateful gods and demons of the phenomenal world, there is not one who is not in my entourage, and there is none that I cannot overpower. The divine hosts are my slaves, and the eight classes of gods and demons serve me, as do the planets and the lunar mansions, the five elements and the king of the demons (?). The good divinities who are close to me are my companions, but all obey me. There is no greater magus in this world than I. I also have servants of precepts and understanding (? man ngag rig pa’i yang khol yod).

All you harmful and obstructive demons who would hurt our beneficent patron would do well to obey my words! Hear me, obstructive demons and you hosts who would lead us astray!

Horse-headed ritualist of the north, clad in blue silk and holding a vase of nectar, act as the ritualist who prevents the spread of leprosy: dissolve into the place of the ritual offerings (gto yas). This Black gTo ritual is recommended (sngags < bsngags?) for repelling and warding off all noxious demons; it is victorious over all disharmonious elements. Homage to the person of the Wise King Kongtse. Concerning the Shangshang bird of the Three-headed Black Man: it has the body of bird and the head of a human. It has bird’s feet and human hands, and the wings of a khyung.

It holds in its right hand a copper horn and in its right a bow and arrows – make it accordingly. Thread crosses and splints, as well as yellow byung tshe (?) and all pleasing items should be brought together. In front of it there place a three-pointed food-torma (bshos bu).

Concerning the Loss-vampire Camel, load onto its back various kinds of ’gong yas ritual offerings, and hang a variety of adornments around its neck. For the actual performance (? rol du) a red-horned Bull of Loss may be used (?btang). Regarding the mighty elephant: make one with various kinds of ‘gong yas offerings loaded on its back. For the actual performance (?) a female dzo carrying a load may be used. Then recite as follows: Hey, magical yellow Shangshang bird, with one head and two hands; you carry in your hands a copper horn and in your left a bow and arrow. You have the wings of the royal garuda, a bird’s body and a human face, and bird’s feet. You belong to birds of the Srid pa gods.

So wondrous, with your bird body, a bird’s body with a human face. You are a bird of the thirty-three gods, the manifested offspring of sTon pa gshen rab; a bird passing through the cyclic existence of the four continents. At the top of Mt Sumeru, you are the chief of birds. Resembling both a man and a bird, a magical manifestation that our minds cannot grasp. You are a bird of the five elements; you belong to the category of the brTan ma of the Earth, a single bird with multiple manifestations. Just as you are a guardian god if offerings are made to you, so if we neglect you (khyod bkar?) you are a pestilential demon. People offer you a hundred offerings from the human world (?). Yellow Shangshang, consume this three-pointed food torma; pray protect the doctrine of the gathered secrets; lead the mdos of the Three-headed Black Man; act as the protector of human beings;
