第七偈：摧毁敌对者 Seventh Verse: Destroying Adversaries
Praise to Tārq! Whose trat and phat,
completely destroy adversaries’ magic circles.
Right leg bent, left outstretched, pressing down,
Blazing with a fierce and raging fire.
礼赞度母！您的 trat 与 phat，
彻底摧毁敌对者的幻轮。
右腿屈、左腿伸而镇压，
炽燃猛烈狂暴的火焰。
The mantra TRAT and PHAT and so on, are the knowledge mantras of Noble Liberator, Tāra. By the power and energy of her fierce and wrathful activities, she transforms all the various enemies and obstructing spirits. Furthermore, in order to benefit others, she tames the difficult to tame. This is not the application, or practice, of harmful violence. In particular, with the knowledge mantra she completely conquers the magic circles (trulkhor) of adversaries , with the force and power of the mantra. She is a wrathful, fierce female manifestation. With right leg bent and left outstretched and so on, wicked, evil-doers are trampled on. Infectious diseases, plagues and epidemics and so on are pacified and through the agitated, fiery body of the inner heat tummo - fierce, wrathful woman, blazes with a fierce and raging fire. Expelling the Lord of Death41 and so on, and providing great protection to all sentient beings.
TRAT、PHAT等咒，是圣救度母的明咒。以其猛烈忿怒事业的威力与能量，她转化一切敌人与障碍精灵。并且，为了利他，她调伏难调伏者。这并非运用或实行伤害性的暴力。尤其是，她以明咒的力量与威能，彻底降伏敌对者的幻轮（trulkhor）。她显现为忿怒猛烈的女性形相。以右腿屈、左腿伸等姿势，践踏邪恶作恶者。传染病、瘟疫与流行疫病等皆得平息；借着激荡燃烧的拙火之身，这位猛烈忿怒的女性炽燃猛烈狂暴的火焰。她驱逐死主41等，为一切有情提供大护佑。
The hidden meaning is as follows. TRAT tears open and PHAT cracks apart, conquering all conceptual thoughts. External negative forces, the magic circles of the afflictive mental states, means the juncture (unions) of the twelve winds are blocked/halted. The right main channel is looking upwards [red essence is ascending]. The left channel is looking downwards [white descending]. These two channels are then completely pressed into the central channel at the base. The winds of these two channels are then halted in the central channel. As a result, the tummo inner heat fire blazes and the letter HŪṂ melts like water, becoming agitated and excited and even more intensely hot and blazing, which causes greater melting and so on. This is the stage of vital energy control (prāṇāyāma).42
隐义如下。TRAT撕开，PHAT劈裂，降伏一切分别念。外在负面力量、烦恼心态的幻轮，意为十二风的交接处（会合）被封闭或止息。右主脉朝上［红色精华上升］，左脉朝下［白色精华下降］。然后，这两脉在根部被完全压入中脉；两脉之风于是止于中脉。因此，拙火炽燃，HŪṂ字如水般融化，激荡振奋，并愈加炽热猛烈，继而引生更多融化等。这就是调息（prāṇāyāma）的阶段。42

This is the third of the six vajra-yogas, energy control (prāṇāyāma, srog rtsol). According to Kongtrul (HARDING 2007:307-308):
这是六支金刚瑜伽的第三支，即调息（prāṇāyāma，srog rtsol）。据康楚所说（HARDING 2007:307-308）：
The stage of vital energy control causes the karmic energy currents to cease within the central channel.
调息的阶段使业力的能量流在中脉中止息。
And:
又说：
Prāṇā in Sanskrit can be translated as vital energy [or life force]. Ayama is to stop (’gog pa) or to control (rtsol ) or to extend (ring tu byed pa).Through grammatical linkage, it becomes prāṇāyāma, which means to control vital energy (srog rtsol ) or to stop vital energy (srog ’gog). Here, “vital energy” (srog) is a name for energy winds (rlung, Skt. prāṇā) and to halt or control means to direct them [into the central channel].
梵语 Prāṇā 可译为生命能量［或生命力］。Ayama 意为停止（’gog pa）、调控（rtsol）或延长（ring tu byed pa）。依语法连接，便成为 prāṇāyāma，意为调控生命能量（srog rtsol），或停止生命能量（srog ’gog）。此处，“生命能量”（srog）是气风（rlung，梵语 prāṇā）的名称；停止或调控，意为将它们引导［进入中脉］。
The Time for Meditation
修习时机：
The real branch of vital energy control is a meditation for after the five branches of meditative stability arise in the mindstream. But even a beginner may meditate in the analogous vital energy control. In particular, it is excellent to meditate on it after gaining a bit of experience in either withdrawal or meditative stability, which are virtuous in the beginning.
真正的调息支，是在心相续中生起禅定五支之后所修的禅修。不过，初学者也可以修习相似的调息。尤其在收摄或禅定这两种初善修持中，获得少许体验之后再修习调息，是极好的。
Thus, the process of prāṇāyāma is the yoga that combines the Prāṇa and Apāna winds into one entity in the central channel, through suppressing the movements in the right (rasanā) and left (lalanā) channels. This is mainly done by means of vajra- repetition meditations, observing the coming and going of the breath, and other breath-manipulation exercises.
因此，调息的过程，就是通过抑制右脉（rasanā）及左脉（lalanā）中的运行，将持命风（Prāṇa）与下行风（Apāna）在中脉中合为一体的瑜伽。这主要通过金刚念诵的禅修、观察呼吸的出入，以及其他调运呼吸的练习来完成。
