OM AH HUNG BENZA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG%
With OM at the beginning and hung at the end,%
The ten vajra syllables in between%
Are the root mantra embodying all the vidyadharas.%
By reciting them twelve hundred thousand times, you will attain siddhi.%

In actuality, in vision, or in dreams, though without fixation,%
To meet him face-to-face or hear his voice, to feel great bliss blaze forth,%
To attain powers, to have experience and realization increase,%
To witness dakas and dakinis gather,%
To hear the sounds of song and dance, music and chanting,%
To behold a rain of flowers fall, to be enveloped in exquisite fragrance,%
To have the great resplendence of wisdom descend, and so forth.%
These are explained as the omens of blessing and siddhi.%
