MAGIC AND RITUAL IN TIBET 8) We visualize all of space filled with soft bedding, with turquoise knives, with soft hides, with pleasing garments for the joyful forests, with strong boots, with divine dwellings. OM UPARATNA PRATlCCHA HUM SVAHA! Similarly, as one more example of the kind of thing that may be given as outer offerings to the deity, figure 17 shows the gestures that represent the eight signs of good fortune: 1) SRI-VATSYA "the coiled knot" 2) SUVARNA-CAKRA "the golden wheel" 3) PADMA-KUSfJARA "the lotus flower" 4) KUNDA-DHVAJA "the banner of victory" 5) SITATAPATRA "the white umbrella" 6) NIDHI-GHATA "the flask of treasure" 7) SANKHA-VARTA "the right-handed conch shell" 8) KANAKA-MATSYA "the golden fish" Pema karpo, in the same ritual, 210 gives the following verses and mantras; we may note here too that these offerings are visualized as carried by the eight goddesses of good fortune—"offering goddesses emanating from one's own heart, bearing aloft inconceivable materials for offering": 1) May there be all good fortune by offering this holy object of good fortune (which sets the seal of delight on the heart of the most noble) by this beautiful maiden, white as a conch shell, moonlike, proudly bearing aloft the glorious coiled knot. OM SRI-VATSYA PRATlCCHA SVAHAl 2) May there be all good fortune by offering this holy object of good fortune (which sets the seal of delight on the heart of the most noble) by this slender-bodied maiden, blazing with terrible jasmine light, gracefully carrying the golden wheel. OM SUVARNA-CAKRA PRATlCCHA SVAHA I
