For yogns who wish to perform daily supplications to Achi Nanamza Wangchuk Chkyi Drolma, the special protector of the teachings of Gyalwa Drikungpa, the procedure is given

9. Requesting activities, and 10. Requesting actions by reminding with words of oath.

Cleanse the balita offerings with

From emptiness, I appear vividly as a yidam-deity. From the seed-syllable in the heart, the three syllables ra ya kha emanate. Fire from the rasyllable burns off the impurities of the offering substances. Wind from the ya-syllable scatters all the unwholesome propensities. Water from the
kha-syllable cleanses the stains of dualistic fixation. Then, as "ra ratna trailokya bhr is said, from the ra-syllable emanates the outer, inner

and secret offering substances, completely filling all the worlds. o h. Repeat thrice.

Uncontaminated, inconceivable clouds of offerings, delightful to the senses and pleasing to the guardians and retinue arise. Thus imagine.

In the sky in front is a charnel ground in a deeply magnificent blazing realm with an exceedingly large celestial mansion. Each on their own seat-mount:
In the center is the sole mother, Chkyi Drlma, glorious Queen of Space, together with her retinue. In the eastern quarter is wrathful-acting Karma
kin with her retinue,

to the south is pre-eminent jewel Wisdom kin with her retinue, to the west is wish-fulfilling jewel Samaya kin with her retinue, to the north is executor of enlightened-activities Power kin with her retinue, each of them surrounded by emanations of a hundred thousand kins, appearing in the

same demeanor as the principals. They have many different body-colors and mounts and wield different implements. The three places of the principal
deities and retinue are all marked with the three syllables. From my heart center, light-rays radiate, arousing the heart-commitments of the guardians of
the teachings - the Glorious Goddess and retinue - inviting them. Thus imagine.

Samaya and Power each together with your own kind - your retinues that pacify, increase, magnetize and destroy. The sincere cries of yogns calling

hr Queen of the Expanse kin be the eyewitness! From this time onwards, until reaching the heart of enlightenment, I shall not transgress the samayas. Propitiating and venerating you at all times, you also do not transgress your samaya but instead be my companion at all times. If the samayas
are transgressed, as a severe consequence one falls into the vast vajra-hell. Hence, do not transgress the samayas but enjoy the supreme vajra-elixir:
