Abstract

Chapter 8 continues the translation of Netra Tantra Chapter 6 as the topic shifts from oblation to maṇḍala. The theoretical basis for this analysis relies on understanding the nature of mantras from Chapters 1 and 2 and the initiation rites of Chapter 5. Because the Netra Tantra itself offers only practical information about maṇḍala use in ritual, the analysis turns to two other texts, the Mālinīvijayottaratantra and Cakrasamvara Tantra, to examine the written form of the mantra and colors of the maṇḍala. The chapter shows how the embodied mantra is placed onto the maṇḍala, thus activating it. Again, proper performance is necessary for the correct outcome. The colors of the ritual objects and maṇḍalas point to their efficacy.
第八章继续翻译Netra Tantra第六章,主题从供奉转移到maṇḍala。这一分析的理论基础在于对第一章和第二章的咒语性质的理解以及第五章的启蒙仪式。因为Netra Tantra本身只提供了maṇḍala在仪式中使用的实用信息,所以分析转向了另外两个文本,Mālinīvijayottaratantra和迦罗参vara Tantra,以检查咒语的书面形式和maṇḍala的颜色。本章展示了具体化的咒语如何被放置在maṇḍala上,从而激活它。同样,正确的表现对于正确的结果是必要的。仪式物品的颜色和maṇḍalas表明了它们的功效。
