If [you want to] drive a stake [into the rock], [You should first ask] the vulture, the king of the birds, About driving [in the stake], [And then] act in accordance with its wishes. The father is the Holy Buddha. The mother is a Dakini of noble lineage. The birthplace of children Is Slate Mountain, a good place to live. The birthplace of young men Is the assembly-row on the left. Offer up, offer up, Offer up beer and [tea in a] precious teapot. Serve [the beer] with a bit of tsampa for luck. Serve [the tea] with a bit of butter for luck. Today the row [of people sitting] forms a circle. Leave [the assembly] feeling happy! Today the row [of people sitting] forms a circle. Leave [the assembly] feeling joyful!
