Calculation of the five families of dakinis

On any day of the dakini [family] of Vajra there will be harm that comes from pishacha demons, mara demons, mamo demons, demons of death. Regarding illnesses, if the feet and ribs are tingling and twisting, diseases of ravaging nausea and tumors will manifest. There will be harm done by the nagas and demons of Sen. There will be benefit if one exercises the blessings of the five kinds and [recites the mantras of] interdependent arising. If there will be no benefit, then when you make the form of a black dog and a black raven inside a ceramic cup, place it at the edge of a large stream [river or road] in an easterly direction, performing it as a ritual of redemption among the clamorous trees.
