Is condensed within you alone,

Who manifest as the enlightened form of vajra wrath—

Vajravidāraṇa, to you I pay homage!

A series of texts related to the deity Vajravidāraṇa (rdo rje rnam ‘joms), a wrathful form of Vajrapāṇi:

Dhāraṇī

Vajravidāraṇa (rdo rje rnam ‘joms) is a semi-wrathful form of Vajrapāṇi and the deity’s dhāraṇī (gzungs), counted as a kriyā-tantra, is known for its healing and purifying effect. The incantation inspired a large number of ritual liturgies and commentaries, both Indic and Tibetan. Today, the dhāraṇī is commonly recited by Tibetan and Newar Buddhists. In Tibetan it is preserved mainly in two forms, the one in the Kangyur and a Nyingma version. Here is the latter, the Nyingma version, which is said to be a reconstruction based upon commentarial literature.
