Mantra Recitation at Night – Mantra Japa Brahma Muhūrta
Verse 123: Your second daily conduct vow is to recite the seed mantra of the deity each night.
“The fourth watch of the night” is called the Brahma Muhūrta (Period of Brahma). A muhūrta is
a period of 48 minutes. The Brahma Muhūrta, honored for its stillness as the most auspicious
time to practice, is just before dawn. Recite Vajravilāsinī’s seed mantra 108 times each night.
Vajra-Lotus Recitation – Vajra Abja Japa
Verse 124: Your third daily conduct vow is to practice the Vajra-Lotus Recitation.
You arouse yourself sexually each day, knowing you are the deity, while visualizing making love
to the deity’s consort.
Verses 125 and 126: The male practitioner uses his right-hand thumb and finger as a “lotus” to
massage his vajra, while meditating and reciting the deity’s mantra. The female practitioner uses
her right-hand fingers as a “vajra” into her lotus while meditating and reciting the mantra. As
you perform this practice, recite the devī’s seed mantra 1000x. This be performed within the
sādhana, as part of the mantra repetition at verse 72c, or separately as the practitioner chooses.

Verse 127: The results of these sādhana and daily conduct practices is that you become skilfull
in the Four Yogas, along with subtle energy yoga (the Four Cakras), the Four Blisses, and the
magic of the Four Swings.
“The teacher of great joy” is you, the practitioner, who becomes accomplished in the practice.
Two terms in this verse, “Four Yonis” and “Four Bhujās,” are enigmatic and are not commonly
found in other Tantric texts. However, these terms certainly refer to subtle energy yoga, and they
offer clues about the richness of these practices.
Four Yogas (Catur Mudrā) – lit. The Four Seals or Consorts. The Four Yogas: deity yoga, subtle
energy yoga, sexual yoga, and nondual yoga.
Four Cakras (Catur Yoni) – lit. The Four Sources. Unclear, but perhaps the four major cakras.
Four Blisses (Catur Bhujā) – lit. The Four Coils. This term may refer to the Four Blisses as they
unfold like coils of energy in practice.
Four Swings (Catur Āndolana) – The Four Swings. This most likely refers to four different ways
of practicing the Swing Recitation for achieving worldly goals through the magic ritual Four
