Mahā Vajreśvarī

This chapter opens on the Ṣaṣṭhī tithi — the day of Mahā Vajreśvarī, Great Mistress of the Vajra. The vajra is both thunderbolt and diamond: focused, indestructible, penetrating. The sixth verse invokes the bilva tree born of tapas — austerity generating fruit through sustained, concentrated effort. Vajreśvarī's financial teaching is the power of single-pointed attention: less diversification of focus, more mastery of one domain; less scattered effort, more vajra-like precision.
