The Dharani of Glorious Vajra Claws
In Sanskrit: Shri vajra rati ru nama dharani
Prostration to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas.
Prostration to the Three Jewels.
When the Bhagavan was residing in the house of Dorje Zom together with a great sangha of monks and a countless Sangha of knowledge-holders, he spoke to the knowledge-holders saying, “Listen, knowledge-holders. There is a deity called Glorious Vajra Claws who is the
daughter of those gone to bliss, the sister of the bodhisattvas, the consort of the wrathful ones, the foremost of dakinis, the friend
of knowledge-holders, the ruler of the doctrine guardians, the guardian of the Three Jewels, the source of all attainments, and the ruler who liberates all maras and Tirthikas.
Any knowledge-holder who recites the vajra dakini’s mantra-dharani from memory will become endowed with fi ft een excellent qualities.”
What are the fifteen excellent qualities? Wherever you are born, you will encounter the king of the Dharma protectors. You will be born in a place where negativities are not committed. You will always meet with favorable times. You will always be accompanied
by virtuous friends. You will have complete faculties and limbs.
You will be subdued during the four types of activities. You will not degenerate your morality and commitments. Your off ering substances and necessities will not be appropriated by others.
You will always be respected and honored by other people. You will have perfect wealth and enjoyments. You will accomplish all your desired aims. You will be protected by the guardians of the Dharma protectors. You will always meet with virtuous guides.
Having heard the Dharma, you will practice and accomplish it.
You will become endowed with these fifteen types of excellent qualities and, in addition, you will not experience the fifteen ways of dying in bad circumstances
What are the fifteen ways of dying in bad circumstances]? You will not die of starvation although there is a famine. You will not die although you have been struck by weapons and hooks. You will not die in a battle conducted by an army. You will not be killed by tigers and beasts of prey. You will not die although you have been swept away by water. You will not die although you have been burned by fire.
You will not die although you have ingested poison. You will not be killed by evil spirits. You will not die due to losing consciousness or becoming insane. You will not die through the falling of mountains, trees, or rocks. You will not die due to the curses of your adversaries.
You will not die due to a grave contagious disease. You will not die by suicide. You will not die through falling head-long. You will not die due to being struck by lightning. You will not die struggling, trembling, or waving your arms about.
Furthermore, you will become endowed with benefi cial qualities such that illness will not arise in your body and even when, due to the power of actions, illness arises it will quickly be alleviated.
Many people will find you attractive. The wealth that you acquire and that which you possess will not be taken away by thieves.
You will not be afraid of your enemies. The continuity of your descendants will increase. Your life will be long. You will have power and ability. You will respect holy spiritual teachers and practice the Dharma. All evil spirits, black magic, and problem-bringing talk will be averted. The vajra dakini will continually guard, protect, and conceal you.
Therefore, knowledge holders, this mantra-dharani should be writ- ten, memorized, read, comprehended, and kept exactly in mind.
Prostraton to the Three Jewels.
Prostration to bhagavan tathagata foe-destroyer perfectly complete Buddha Shakyamuni.
Prostration to Great Female Thorough Destroyer of a Thousand.
Prostration to Great Peacock Female.
Prostration to Great Individual Follower Female.

lightning bolts, fear of untimely death, fear of earthquakes, fear of shooting stars, fear of a king’s punishment, fear of gods, fear of nagas, fear of lightning, fear of garudas, and

The qualities of this dharani are inconceivable: on blowing on the ground, the ground cracks; on blowing on a rock, the rock crumbles; on blowing on a tree, the tree dries up; on blowing on water, the water stops; on blowing on fire, the fire dies; and on blowing on wind, the wind ceases. Therefore, what need is there to mention [the eff ect on] conscious embodied beings?
Then, Vajra Claws spoke thus to the Bhagavan, “In former times, when I took the body of a woman for more than countless eons, he known as Bhagavan Tathagata Foe-Destroyer Perfectly Complete Buddha, Brave and Steadfast Class, King of Weapons, visited the world.
Placing his hand of golden complexion on the crown of my head, he spoke thus, “Daughter of the lineage, consider this essence of secret mantra as dharani and memorize it.
If you do that, upon remembering it in the future, she known as Vajra Claws, having taken a body, will bring great benefi t and happiness to all sentient beings.
She will bestow on you the power of the knowledge- holders, assistants, and attainments. Knowledge-holders are those who met this mantra-dharani, made offerings to the countless previous buddhas, and extensively created roots of virtue.
They will meet with the virtuous guides of their prayers. By considering this mantra-dharani as dharani and reciting it, they will be completely victorious over the three worlds.
Without delay, they will be miraculously born in a lotus in the realm of Sukhavati , a buddha realm. Knowledge-holders, recite this mantra-dharani three times during the day and three times at night.
All sentient beings, behave conscientiously and thereby possess happiness. Respect me and your virtuous guides.”
The Bhagavan then praised the vajra dakini saying, “Glorious Vajra Claws, in the body of a wrathful female you sport in the bliss equaling space, and with an expression of attachment embrace the bodies of the wrathful males. Prostration to you, glorious dakini.”
Then, the dakini stated the commitments of the dharani proclaiming, “Carry your spiritual master on the crown of your head.
Guard the initiation and your commitments. Do not disseminate the instructions to all and accomplish them secretly in solitude.
Do not go amidst crowds. Do not mix with those who have degenerated their commitments. Offer offerings, tormas, and ritual feasts to the beings of cyclic existence and nirvana during the four times.
Through view, decide, meditate, accomplish, and be faithful. When possessing the commitments, achieve the attainments without giving up activities.
Adopt the instructions without enacting your own welfare of this life. Aspiring for the purpose of attainments, witness your own mind.”
Then, the Bhagavan commended the vajra dakini saying, “Excellent]], excellent. Knowledge-holders, you should faithfully do this.”
The Bhagavan having spoken thus, the great Sangha of monks, Glorious Vajra Claws, the great Sangha of knowledge-holders, gods, human beings, harm-givers, cannibal-demons, smell-eaters, demigods, garudas, possible-humans, great serpents — the human and non-human — and all their retinues rejoiced and applauded that spoken by the Bhagavan.
