May we be free from all temporary and absolute states of fear, may we realize perfect buddhahood! Just like the example of her many lives, by accomplishing the Dharma may we all become enlightened! May all hindering obstacles without exception be pacified. May the benefit of others be swiftly accomplished and perfected! Grant me the blessings to place all beings in the state of the Victorious Mother, emptying the realms of samsara. For those who never waver from these words and who persevere single-pointedly, may the negative obscurations accumulated over countless past lifetimes be cleansed without remains! By perfecting all noble qualities on the stages and paths and encountering the dakini, the common and supreme siddhis will be swiftly obtained; the negative accumulations that cause illness and demonic-force obstructions will be reversed without exception; there will be the enjoyments of longevity, excellent health, and a wealth of endowments and prosperity. Whatever is wished for will be spontaneously present!
“Have no doubt that the mother Mandarava will guide one to the future place of rebirth in the Realm of Great Bliss. Accordingly, for all beings, including the fortunate disciples of Tibet, whoever writes or reads this account of Mandarava’s lives and liberation and makes prostrations, offerings, and supplications with faith and devotion will experience the result of the spontaneous accomplishment of all wishes. Whoever simply reads this account with pure faith will be free from the threat of contagious disease, war, misfortune, and drought; black magic, curses, and detrimental threats will be pacified. The threat of untimely death and obstacles to one’s life will be reversed if one reads this account a hundred times. If one reads this text, the illnesses that four-legged beasts endure, as well as those of impoverished beggars, will be pacified, and good fortune and prosperity will abound. If one desires offspring, one’s family line will increase by reading this text. Whoever owns this text about her lives and liberation will accomplish all desires without obstacle. Wherever a copy of this account is found—within any monastery, country, city, or family home—the spirits, demonic forces, and elementals will be kept back at a distance, unable to approach any closer than a mile. If this account is recited a hundred times in order to obtain a better future rebirth, there will be liberation from the fear of the lower realms, and the consciousness will travel to the realm of Khechari.
“The actual benefits of this account are so remarkable that they simply cannot be expressed. If it is worn on the body, the effects of obscuration will not occur. There will be no fear of weapons, and poison will loose its potency. Contagious diseases, open, festering sores, and leprosy will all be pacified. Illness, demonic-force possession, obstructing forces, and all such harm will be stripped of strength. If this account is read prior to embarking upon a journey, all mishaps and harm, such as ambush, robbery, and treacherous passageways, will be pacified. If one maintains this text as an object of veneration, making regular prostrations, circumambulations, and offerings, it is certain that rebirth will occur in the Realm of Great Bliss. Therefore, sentient beings of the future generations, persevere accordingly!”

Ingredients for Riwo Sangchod:
There are two types of Sang mixtures, medicinal or nutritive. This is a complete list of all appropriate ingredients. It is not necessary to have all of these ingredients to offer Sang. You may use a few key ingredients such as cedar, juniper or sandalwood, then add lesser amounts of whatever other ingredients you can obtain.
Medicinal Mixture:
Balsam Long Leaf Eucalyptus Fat Leaf Eucalyptus Juniper, Cedar Sage (Gaden Khempa) Cypress Red Sandalwood White Sandalwood Beetlenut (Red Supari) Saal Dhoop Cuttlefish (cuttlebone) Three Kingly Medicines:
Cardamom Cloves Allspice Nutmeg Ginger Ground conch Ground pearl Ground garnet Ground turquois Ground red and white coral Black Tea
Five Precious Grains: wheat, rye, barley, rice, corn Three Sweets: sugar, honey, molasses Three Whites: milk (powder), ghee (butter), yogurt Rye flour
Buckwheat flour Wheat flour Corn meal Tea
Grind up all the ingredients into a fine powder. Place a small amount on a well lighted charcoal for personal practice sessions, or use as a ‘mother mixture’ by adding a small amount to other easily available ingredients such as flour and grains, cedar and juniper.
Whilst explaining the Heart-Essence of the Lordly and Most Majestic of Siddhas (Druptop Chenpö’i Tuktik), I gave rise to a strong faith and conviction in the key vajra points of the profound secret. I thought of the great fortune that would ensue if I and all others could at least aspire to practise such a path. As such, I, Maṅgala, a beggar from Dokham, wrote this in the hidden land of fruits, Sikkim. May it prove meaningful! Virtue!
If you are not in our hearts,
Neither will we feel sad towards samsara,
Nor will we long for nirvana.
Seeing the flaws of samsara
And the wisdom of nirvana
Is due only to your constant presence in my heart.
To you I bow,
O Vagishavara.
