Yet, if one do not recognize them, the obscurations of evil deeds being too great, and flee from them through terror and awe, then, on the Tenth Day, the blood-drinking [deities] of the [Precious |-Gem Order will come to receive one. There- upon the setting-face-to-face is, calling the deceased by name, thus:
O nobly-born, listen. On the Tenth Day, the blood-drink-
central, darkish yellow; enhaloed in flames; in the first of
the six hands holding a gem, in the middle [one], a trident- staff, in the last [one], a baton; in the first of the left [hands],
a trident-staff; his body embraced by the Mother Ratna-
offering to his mouth a red shell [filled with blood], will issue from the southern quarter of thy brain and come to shine upon thee. Fear not. Be not terrified. Be not awed. Know them to be the embodiment of thine own intellect. [They] being thine own tutelary deity, be not terrified. In reality
liberation will be simultaneous.
By so proclaiming [them], knowing them to be tutelary deities, merging in them in at-one-ment, Buddhahood will be obtained.
