唐朝京兆杜行顗奉詔翻譯
稽首於一切智慧者。
我是這樣聽說的：一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana Anathapindika-arama），與八千大比丘眾在一起，還有三萬二千菩薩，他們都已獲得正智，能夠明照諸法，對於所知之法了無掛礙。他們的名字是觀自在菩薩（Avalokitesvara，又名觀音菩薩），得大趣菩薩，彌勒菩薩（Maitreya），文殊師利童真菩薩（Manjusri），蓮華勝藏菩薩，手金剛菩薩（Vajrapani），持地菩薩，虛空藏菩薩（Akasagarbha），除一切障菩薩，普賢菩薩（Samantabhadra），他們是這些菩薩中的上首。像這樣三萬二千位菩薩摩訶薩眾。還有一萬梵摩天，以善吒梵摩為上首，從其他世界來到佛的住所，一同聚集。
又有萬二千諸釋天眾，與無量天龍（Naga）夜叉（Yaksa）乾闥婆（Gandharva）阿修羅（Asura）迦樓羅（Garuda）緊那羅（Kinnara）摩睺羅伽（Mahoraga）人非人等一同前來集會。
當時，世尊被四眾圍繞，恭敬供養，併爲他們說法。這時，在三十三天（Trayastrimsa）的善法場中，有一位名叫善住的天人，住在大寶宮中，享受著極大的歡樂。眾多的歌妓美女侍奉著他，嬉戲遊樂，觀賞美景，盡情享受著一切。忽然，夜裡傳來一個聲音呼喚天人善住：『你的壽命將盡，七日後將死。死後將七次投生閻浮提（Jambudvipa），墮入地獄。之後或許會轉生為人，但會貧窮且雙目失明，遭受各種苦惱。』善住聽后，感到恐懼驚慌，毛髮豎立，憂愁不已。他急忙前往釋提桓因天帝（Sakra Devanam Indra）的住所，向前禮拜天帝的雙足，驚慌地稟告天帝，懇請天帝垂憐，救他脫離苦難：『我享受著天界的快樂，隨心所欲。忽然有聲音說我七日後將死，七次投生閻浮提將墮入地獄，之後或許會轉生為人，但會貧窮且雙目失明，遭受各種苦惱。我現在心煩意亂，心迷識亂，不知如何是好。惟愿天帝慈悲憐憫，救我脫離苦難。』
【English Translation】 English version The Sutra of the Victorious Dharani of the Buddha's Crown
Translated by Imperial Order by Du Xingyi of Jingzhao during the Great Tang Dynasty
I prostrate to the All-Knowing One.
Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti, together with eight thousand great Bhikshus and thirty-two thousand Bodhisattvas. They had attained Right Knowledge, illuminating all dharmas, and were unhindered in their knowledge of what is to be known. Their names were Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Avalokitesvara, also known as Guanyin Bodhisattva), the Bodhisattva Who Attains Great Meaning, Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya), Manjusri Kumara Bodhisattva (Manjusri), Lotus Victorious Treasury Bodhisattva, Vajrapani Bodhisattva (Vajrapani), Earth-Holding Bodhisattva, Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (Akasagarbha), All-Obstacle-Removing Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Samantabhadra), who were the foremost among them. Thus, there were thirty-two thousand Bodhisattva Mahasattvas. There were also ten thousand Brahma heavens, with Shanta Brahma as their leader, who came from other realms to the Buddha's abode and gathered together.
There were also twelve thousand Shakra heavens, together with immeasurable Devas (gods), Nagas (dragons), Yakshas (Yaksa, spirits), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Asuras (demons), Garudas (large mythical birds), Kinnaras (celestial musicians, half-human, half-bird), Mahoragas (great serpents), humans, non-humans, and others, who came together for the assembly.
At that time, the Blessed One was surrounded by the four assemblies, who respectfully made offerings and listened to his teachings. Then, in the Sudharma Hall of the Trayastrimsa Heaven (Trayastrimsa), there was a Deva named Susthita, residing in a great jeweled palace, enjoying great happiness. Many courtesans attended to him, and he amused himself with games and leisurely strolls, indulging in all his desires. Suddenly, in the night, a voice called out to the Deva Susthita: 'Your life is coming to an end; in seven days you will die. After death, you will be reborn seven times in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa), falling into hell. Afterwards, you may be reborn as a human, but you will be poor and blind, suffering all kinds of afflictions.' Upon hearing this, Susthita was terrified, his hair stood on end, and he was filled with sorrow. He rushed to the abode of Shakra Devanam Indra (Sakra Devanam Indra), prostrated himself at the feet of the heavenly emperor, and reported to him in a panic, begging the emperor to have mercy and save him from his suffering: 'I am enjoying the pleasures of the heavens, indulging in all my desires. Suddenly, a voice said that I will die in seven days, and after seven rebirths in Jambudvipa, I will fall into hell. Afterwards, I may be reborn as a human, but I will be poor and blind, suffering all kinds of afflictions. Now I am distraught, my mind is confused, and I do not know what to do. I beseech the emperor to have compassion and save me from my suffering.'
毒。釋提桓因聞是語已。深懷怪悼云何七生。默寂須臾遂見善住。於此命終便愛豬身。豬身畢已受于狗身。狗身畢已受于狐身。狐身畢已受于猴身。猴身畢已受毒蛇身。蛇身畢已當受鷲身。鷲身畢已受于烏身。如是七生恒食穢惡。釋提桓因見是事已。深哀善住當受大苦。何計何從誰能救濟。作是思惟唯除如來阿羅訶三藐三佛陀無能救者。於是天帝其夜後分。赍諸華鬘種種諸香末香燒香。天衣瓔珞諸莊嚴具。詣于祇林佛聖尊所。頂禮雙足右繞七匝大供養已。便於佛前一面而坐。以善住事具白聖尊。其時如來頂放大光。其光雜色流照十方一切生界。還至佛所右繞三匝從佛口入。佛遂微笑告釋提桓因。有佛灌頂清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼。凈除一切業障地獄畜生。閻摩盧迦生死苦惱。破地獄道升于佛路。天帝此清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼。但聽聞者生死相續一切業障。種種苦患咸悉消滅。當獲善果得宿命智。從一佛國生一佛國。從一天中生一天中。乃至三十三天宮常知宿命。能習持者。現百年限更增其壽。身口意凈心寧適樂。身苦咸除獲諸善觸。諸佛觀視諸天衛護。一切菩薩慈愛繫念。讀誦之者一切地獄畜生。閻摩盧迦及諸餓鬼。息除消散境域空虛。一切佛剎菩薩天宮。咸辟福門導之令入。於是釋提桓因前白佛言聖尊。憐愍攝護
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 毒。釋提桓因（Śakro devānām indraḥ，天帝）聽了這些話后，深感悲傷和驚異，心想：『為何要經歷七次轉生？』他默默地沉思了一會兒，便看到善住（Sudatta）從這裡命終后，轉生為豬。豬的生命結束后，又轉生為狗。狗的生命結束后，又轉生為狐貍。狐貍的生命結束后，又轉生為猴子。猴子的生命結束后，又轉生為毒蛇。毒蛇的生命結束后，將要轉生為鷲。鷲的生命結束后，將要轉生為烏鴉。這樣七次轉生，一直以污穢惡臭之物為食。』釋提桓因看到這些事情后，深切地哀憐善住將要遭受巨大的痛苦，心想：『該怎麼辦？從哪裡入手？誰能救濟他呢？』他思來想去，認為只有如來（Tathāgata），阿羅訶（Arhat，應供），三藐三佛陀（Samyaksaṃbuddha，正等覺者）才能救度他。於是，天帝在當夜的後半夜，帶著各種花鬘、各種香、末香、燒香、天衣、瓔珞等各種莊嚴具，前往祇林（Jetavana）佛聖尊所在之處。他頂禮佛的雙足，右繞七圈，進行了盛大的供養后，便在佛前的一側坐下，將善住的事情詳細地稟告了佛。當時，如來從頭頂放出大光明，那光明五彩繽紛，流照十方一切眾生的世界，然後回到佛的所在，右繞三圈，從佛的口中進入。佛於是微笑，告訴釋提桓因：『有佛灌頂清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼（Buddhoshnisha-vijaya-dharani），能夠清除一切業障，以及地獄、畜生、閻摩盧迦（Yamaloka，閻魔界）的生死苦惱，破除地獄道，提升到成佛的道路。天帝，這清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼，只要聽聞者，生死相續的一切業障、種種苦患，都將全部消滅，當獲得善果，得到宿命智（jātismaraṇa-jñāna，知宿命的能力），從一個佛國轉生到另一個佛國，從一個天界轉生到另一個天界，乃至三十三天宮（Trāyastriṃśa），常常知道自己的宿命。能夠學習和受持此陀羅尼的人，在現世百年的壽命基礎上，還能增加壽命，身口意清凈，內心安寧快樂，身體的痛苦全部消除，獲得各種美好的感受，諸佛觀視，諸天衛護，一切菩薩慈愛繫念。讀誦此陀羅尼的人，一切地獄、畜生、閻摩盧迦以及各種餓鬼，都將止息、消除、消散，其境界空虛。一切佛剎、菩薩天宮，都將開啟福門，引導他們進入。』於是，釋提桓因上前稟告佛說：『聖尊，請您憐憫攝護。』
【English Translation】 English version Poison. Śakro devānām indraḥ (釋提桓因, the lord of gods) heard these words and felt deep sorrow and astonishment, thinking, 'Why must one undergo seven rebirths?' He silently pondered for a moment and then saw that Sudatta (善住) had died here and been reborn as a pig. After the life of a pig, he was reborn as a dog. After the life of a dog, he was reborn as a fox. After the life of a fox, he was reborn as a monkey. After the life of a monkey, he was reborn as a venomous snake. After the life of a snake, he will be reborn as a vulture. After the life of a vulture, he will be reborn as a crow. Thus, for seven rebirths, he will constantly feed on filthy and foul things.' Seeing these things, Śakro devānām indraḥ deeply pitied Sudatta, who was about to suffer great pain, and thought, 'What should be done? Where to start? Who can save him?' After much thought, he concluded that only the Tathāgata (如來), Arhat (阿羅訶, worthy of offerings), Samyaksaṃbuddha (三藐三佛陀, perfectly enlightened one) could save him. Therefore, in the latter part of that night, the lord of gods brought various flower garlands, various incenses, powdered incense, burning incense, heavenly garments, necklaces, and various ornaments, and went to the place where the Buddha, the Holy One, was in Jetavana (祇林). He prostrated at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him seven times, made grand offerings, and then sat down on one side in front of the Buddha, explaining the matter of Sudatta in detail to the Holy One. At that time, the Tathāgata emitted great light from the crown of his head. That light was multicolored, illuminating all the worlds of sentient beings in the ten directions, and then returned to the Buddha's location, circumambulated him three times, and entered from the Buddha's mouth. The Buddha then smiled and said to Śakro devānām indraḥ, 'There is the Buddhoshnisha-vijaya-dharani (佛灌頂清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼), which can purify all destinies, cleanse all karmic obstacles, and the sufferings of birth and death in hell, the animal realm, and Yamaloka (閻摩盧迦, the realm of Yama), break the path to hell, and elevate one to the path of Buddhahood. Lord of gods, this pure Buddhoshnisha-vijaya-dharani, merely by hearing it, will cause all karmic obstacles and various sufferings of continuous birth and death to be completely eliminated. One will obtain good results, gain the knowledge of past lives (jātismaraṇa-jñāna, 宿命智), be reborn from one Buddha-land to another, from one heaven to another, even up to the Thirty-three Heavens (Trāyastriṃśa), and always know one's past lives. Those who can learn and uphold this dharani will have their lifespan extended beyond the current limit of one hundred years, their body, speech, and mind will be purified, their hearts will be peaceful and happy, all physical sufferings will be eliminated, and they will obtain all kinds of good sensations. The Buddhas will watch over them, the gods will protect them, and all Bodhisattvas will lovingly remember them. Those who recite this dharani will have all hells, animal realms, Yamaloka, and various hungry ghosts cease, be eliminated, and dissipate, and their realms will become empty. All Buddha-lands, Bodhisattva heavens, will open the gates of blessings and guide them to enter.' Thereupon, Śakro devānām indraḥ stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'Holy One, please have compassion and protect us.'

天帝（帝釋天），此清凈諸趣佛頂尊勝陀羅尼，能凈化一切罪障，消除一切惡趣。這是八十八俱胝（俱胝，古代印度計數單位，相當於千萬）百千恒河沙數諸佛共同宣說、守護、歡喜讚歎的。一切如來以智慧之印印證此陀羅尼。爲了消除一切眾生的惡趣，特別是那些在地獄、畜生、閻摩盧迦（閻摩盧迦，意為地獄）等惡道中，沉溺於苦海，遭受各種痛苦折磨的眾生，爲了使他們解脫，也爲了那些短壽、薄福、下賤、卑微、惡業深重的眾生，以及那些將要墮入地獄、經歷各種生命形態、遭遇夭折、喪失心智、迷失正道的眾生，宣說此陀羅尼，使其在閻浮提（閻浮提，指我們所居住的這個世界）修行，凈化罪業，最終獲得解脫。天帝，你應該受持此尊勝陀羅尼，為善住天子宣說。應當為閻浮提的眾生、諸天天子以及一切有情眾生，宣揚、讀誦、思惟、習念、恭敬、供養、受持、修行。我現在以陀羅尼的印教約定，付囑於你，天帝，你應當好好受持。聽聞此陀羅尼的人，百千劫中所積累的業障都能得到清凈，不會墮入地獄，不會轉生為畜生、閻摩盧迦、餓鬼等惡趣，也不會遭受阿修羅、夜叉、羅剎以及富單那（富單那，一種惡鬼）、迦吒富單那（迦吒富單那，也是一種惡鬼）、癲癇等鬼神之身，乃至犬、龜、鳥、獸、蚊、虻、毒蛇等腹行之類，以及各種小蟲，都不會再受這些苦報。他們將恒常與佛同在，或者轉生到菩薩的殊勝家族，或者轉生到婆羅門（婆羅門，印度教祭司階層）、剎帝利（剎帝利，印度教的武士和統治者階層）、大姓居士（居士，在家修行的佛教信徒）等富貴人家。憑藉此陀羅尼的力量，獲得清凈的轉生，直至證得菩提，獲得正等正覺。天帝，此清凈諸趣尊勝陀羅尼，威神廣大，具有巨大的功德利益，擁有強大的力量，是大吉祥之兆。

O, Indra (Heavenly Emperor), this Pure All Destinies Buddha-Top Victory Dharani purifies all karmic obstacles and eliminates all evil destinies. It is commonly proclaimed, protected, joyfully praised by eighty-eight kotis (koti, an ancient Indian unit of counting, equivalent to ten million) hundreds of thousands of Ganges river sands of Buddhas. All Tathagatas seal it with the wisdom seal. It is for eliminating all evil destinies of all sentient beings, especially those in evil paths such as hells, animals, Yama's world (Yama's world, meaning hells), who are drowning in the sea of suffering, enduring various painful torments, for the sake of their liberation. Also, for the sake of those short-lived, with little merit, lowly, base, with heavy evil karma sentient beings, as well as those who are about to fall into hell, experience various life forms, encounter premature death, lose their minds, and stray from the right path, this Dharani is proclaimed, so that they can cultivate in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, referring to the world we live in), purify their karmic debts, and ultimately attain liberation. O, Indra, you should uphold this Victory Dharani and proclaim it for the well-dwelling Deva. You should propagate, recite, contemplate, practice, respectfully offer, uphold, and cultivate it for the sentient beings of Jambudvipa, all Devas, and all sentient beings. I now entrust it to you with the seal teaching agreement of the Dharani, O, Indra, you should uphold it well. Those who hear this Dharani will have their accumulated karmic obstacles purified in hundreds of thousands of kalpas, will not fall into hell, will not be reborn as animals, in Yama's world, as hungry ghosts, or in other evil destinies, nor will they suffer the bodies of Asuras, Yakshas, Rakshasas, as well as Putanas (Putana, a type of evil ghost), Kataputanas (Kataputana, also a type of evil ghost), epilepsy, and other ghosts and spirits, even dogs, turtles, birds, beasts, mosquitoes, gadflies, poisonous snakes, and other crawling creatures, as well as various small insects, will no longer suffer these retributions. They will always be with the Buddha, or be reborn into the noble families of Bodhisattvas, or be reborn into wealthy families such as Brahmins (Brahmin, the priestly class in Hinduism), Kshatriyas (Kshatriya, the warrior and ruler class in Hinduism), great lay practitioners (lay practitioners, Buddhist believers who practice at home). By the power of this Dharani, they will obtain pure rebirths, until they attain Bodhi and achieve complete and perfect enlightenment. O, Indra, this Pure All Destinies Victory Dharani has vast divine power, possesses great merit and benefits, has great power, and is a sign of great auspiciousness.

佛告釋提桓因。天帝當以此法救除眾生。地獄諸趣一切苦惱。凈諸趣業獲長壽果。天帝當還可授善住天子此陀羅尼。滿七日已汝共善住來至我所。釋提桓因受佛教已還
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：愿所有地獄、畜生等惡道的痛苦都能完全解脫。乃至所有畜生等惡道眾生，耳朵能夠聽到此陀羅尼者（陀羅尼：總持，以簡短的語句總攝佛法的精要），便不再承受惡道的身體。身患重病者，疾病都消散，各道清凈。命終之後，往生到充滿快樂的境界，于蓮花中化生，不受胎藏之苦，常能知曉宿命。如果眾生被罪業牽引，命終之後墮入惡道，應當用此陀羅尼咒土二十一遍，散在其骸骨之上，隨著其所生之處，無論是地獄、畜生，還是閻摩盧迦（閻摩盧迦：地獄），或是餓鬼道，乃至阿鼻地獄（阿鼻地獄：八大地獄中最苦之處），禽獸昆蟲，都能脫離痛苦之身，往生天界享受快樂。每日誦此陀羅尼二十一遍，罪業消滅，福報增長，受眾人愛戴敬仰。命終之後，往生極樂世界。如果常念受持此陀羅尼，命終之後往生到各個清凈的佛土，從一個佛國到另一個佛國，在一切佛剎（佛剎：佛所居住的國土）中放出大光明，常與佛在一起，受到諸佛的護佑和培育，並被授記（授記：預言未來成佛）。乃至最終獲得證悟大涅槃（涅槃：佛教修行的最高境界，指脫離輪迴）的喜樂。修行此陀羅尼者，應當建造方形的壇，四面平整，散佈各種清凈的鮮花，焚燒各種香。右膝著地，長跪一心，普遍憶念十方一切諸佛。雙手合十，作爪印，放在心前。兩個食指和兩個大拇指各自彎曲相按。稱念『娑度』（娑度：善哉，好的），誦此陀羅尼一百零八遍，就等於供養承事了八十八俱胝（俱胝：古代印度計數單位，相當於千萬）恒河沙（恒河沙：數量極多，如恒河中的沙子）那由他（那由他：古代印度計數單位，相當於萬萬）百千諸佛。如同供養佛一樣作供養，也等於供養四大天王。一切天神都讚歎稱善，稱其為佛子，以大菩提心（菩提心：追求覺悟的心）莊嚴其心，獲得無礙的智慧。凡是想要誦唸此陀羅尼者，都應當至誠如法地作合十指爪印。這是修行陀羅尼的方法。 佛告訴釋提桓因（釋提桓因：忉利天之主）。天帝，應當用此法救除眾生在地獄等各道的種種苦惱，凈化各道的業障，獲得長壽的果報。天帝，應當將此陀羅尼傳授給善住天子（善住天子：天界的天子）。滿七日後，你和善住一起來到我這裡。釋提桓因接受佛的教誨后返回。
【English Translation】 English version: May all the sufferings of hell, animals, and other evil realms be completely liberated. Furthermore, if beings in the animal realm and other evil realms hear this Dharani (Dharani: a concise summary of the essence of Buddhist teachings), they will no longer be reborn in evil realms. Those suffering from severe illnesses will have their diseases dispelled, and all realms will be purified. After death, they will be reborn in realms of joy, manifesting in lotus flowers, free from the suffering of being born from a womb, and will always know their past lives. If beings are drawn by sinful karma and fall into evil realms after death, one should chant this Dharani over soil twenty-one times and scatter it over their bones. Wherever they are reborn, whether in hell, as animals, in Yamaloka (Yamaloka: the realm of Yama, the lord of death), or as hungry ghosts, even in Avici Hell (Avici Hell: the most painful of the eight great hells), as birds, beasts, or insects, they will all be freed from their suffering and reborn in the heavens to enjoy happiness. Reciting this Dharani twenty-one times daily will eliminate sins, increase blessings, and be loved and respected by all. After death, one will be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. If one constantly recites and upholds this Dharani, one will be reborn in various pure lands after death, traveling from one Buddha-land (Buddha-land: the land where a Buddha resides) to another, radiating great light in all Buddha-fields, always being with the Buddha, protected and nurtured by all Buddhas, and receiving predictions of future Buddhahood (predictions of future Buddhahood: prophecies of future enlightenment). Ultimately, one will attain the joy of great Nirvana (Nirvana: the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, liberation from the cycle of rebirth). Those who practice this Dharani should construct a square altar, level on all sides, scatter various pure flowers, and burn various incenses. Kneel on the right knee, with single-minded devotion, universally remembering all Buddhas in the ten directions. Bring the palms together, forming a claw-like mudra (mudra: a symbolic hand gesture), and place it before the heart. Bend the two index fingers and two thumbs, pressing them against each other. Chant 'Sadhu' (Sadhu: well done, good), and recite this Dharani one hundred and eight times. This is equivalent to making offerings and serving eighty-eight kotis (kotis: an ancient Indian unit of counting, equivalent to ten million) of Ganges sands (Ganges sands: an extremely large number, like the sands in the Ganges River) of nayutas (nayutas: an ancient Indian unit of counting, equivalent to ten million) of hundreds of thousands of Buddhas. Making offerings in this way is like making offerings to the Buddhas, and is also equivalent to making offerings to the Four Heavenly Kings. All the gods will praise and commend, calling them children of the Buddha, adorning their hearts with great Bodhicitta (Bodhicitta: the mind of enlightenment), and attaining unobstructed wisdom. Whoever wishes to recite this Dharani should sincerely and properly form the claw-like mudra with palms together. This is the method of practicing the Dharani. The Buddha told Shakra Devendra (Shakra Devendra: the lord of the Trayastrimsha Heaven). Heavenly King, you should use this Dharma to rescue beings from all the sufferings of hell and other realms, purify the karmic obstacles of all realms, and obtain the fruit of longevity. Heavenly King, you should transmit this Dharani to the Good Abode Deva (Good Abode Deva: a deva in the heavenly realm). After seven days, you and the Good Abode Deva should come to me. Shakra Devendra received the Buddha's teachings and returned.
于天宮。以此佛頂尊勝陀羅尼。授善住天子。善住受已修行供養六日六夜。爰至七日諸惡趣業皆得解脫。居天福處獲大長壽。歡喜踴躍大聲唱言。阿呼佛陀耶阿呼達摩耶阿呼僧伽耶阿呼毗耶陀(云陀羅尼)救拔眾生一切苦厄。令我得脫諸惡趣苦。
爾時天帝釋提桓因部屬侍繞。將善住天子赍種種華香。燒香涂香並種種鬘。蓋傘幡幢衣服瓔珞。乘天寶輅備天莊嚴。來至佛所作大供養右繞萬匝便。于佛前一面而立。頌讚佛已退坐聽法。佛申金色右手。慰護善住而與授記。
佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 在天宮中，佛陀將此《佛頂尊勝陀羅尼》（Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī，頂髻尊勝陀羅尼）授予善住天子（Sudatta）。善住天子接受后，修行供養了六日六夜。到了第七日，所有的惡趣業障都得到解脫，居住在天福之處，獲得極大的長壽。他歡喜踴躍，大聲唱言：『啊呼！佛陀耶（Buddhāya，對佛的尊稱）！啊呼！達摩耶（Dharmāya，對佛法的尊稱）！啊呼！僧伽耶（Saṃghāya，對僧團的尊稱）！啊呼！毗耶陀（Vidhyādhara，明咒持者，這裡指陀羅尼）！救拔眾生一切苦厄，令我得脫諸惡趣苦。』 當時，天帝釋提桓因（Śakro devānām indraḥ，眾天之帝）被他的部屬侍從圍繞著，帶著善住天子，攜帶著種種鮮花和香，包括燒香、涂香以及各種花鬘、寶蓋、傘、幡、幢、衣服、瓔珞，乘坐天界的寶車，具備天界的莊嚴，來到佛陀的處所，作廣大的供養，右繞佛陀萬匝，然後在佛陀面前一面站立。讚頌佛陀之後，退坐一旁聽法。佛陀伸出金色的右手，安慰守護善住天子，併爲他授記。 《佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經》（Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra）
【English Translation】 English version: In the Trayastrimsa Heaven, the Buddha imparted this Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī (Victorious Dhāraṇī of the Buddha's Crown) to the Deva Sudatta (Well-Dwelled). Having received it, Sudatta practiced and made offerings for six days and six nights. By the seventh day, all karmic obstacles leading to the evil realms were liberated, and he dwelt in the blissful heavenly abode, obtaining great longevity. He rejoiced and leaped with joy, exclaiming loudly: 'Aho! Buddhāya (To the Buddha)! Aho! Dharmāya (To the Dharma)! Aho! Saṃghāya (To the Saṃgha)! Aho! Vidhyādhara (Holders of secret knowledge, here referring to the Dhāraṇī)! Rescue all beings from all suffering and distress, and liberate me from the suffering of the evil realms!' At that time, Śakro devānām indraḥ (Śakra, Lord of the Devas), the Lord of the Devas, surrounded by his retinue, brought the Deva Sudatta, carrying various flowers and incense, including burning incense, scented paste, and various garlands, canopies, umbrellas, banners, streamers, clothing, and necklaces, riding in a celestial jeweled chariot, adorned with celestial ornaments. They came to the Buddha's place, made vast offerings, circumambulated the Buddha ten thousand times to the right, and then stood on one side before the Buddha. After praising the Buddha, they withdrew and sat down to listen to the Dharma. The Buddha extended his golden right hand, comforted and protected Sudatta, and bestowed a prophecy upon him.
