Translation of colophon

Throw away the torma. For the ritual missile of the apostate monk, visualize yourself as a dbal bon, a powerful master; then the syllable bswo shines forth in light, and all the tormas become a mass of weapons, shining like the stars.

Remarks This is a part of practice sādhana ritual text of of the sTag la me ’bar the Red Razor.
