東晉天竺居士竺難提（Zhu Nanti，人名）翻譯，晉言法喜（Fa Xi，人名）。
我是這樣聽說的：一時，佛陀住在毗舍離（Vaisali，古印度城市名）菴羅樹園（Amra tree garden）的大林精舍（Mahavana，寺院名）重閣講堂。與一千二百五十位比丘（bhikkhu，佛教出家男子）在一起，他們都是阿羅漢（arhat，已證果的修行者），諸漏已盡，不再受後世輪迴之苦，如同煉過的真金一般純凈，身心澄靜，六神通（six supernormal powers）無礙。他們的名字是：大智舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一）、摩訶目犍連（Maha Maudgalyayana，佛陀十大弟子之一）、摩訶迦葉（Mahakasyapa，佛陀十大弟子之一）、摩訶迦旃延（Mahakatyayana，佛陀十大弟子之一）、須菩提（Subhuti，佛陀十大弟子之一）、阿㝹樓馱（Aniruddha，佛陀十大弟子之一）、劫賓那（Kapilavastu，佛陀弟子）、橋梵波提（Gavampati，佛陀弟子）、畢陵伽婆蹉（Pilindavatsa，佛陀弟子）、薄拘羅（Bakula，佛陀弟子）、難陀（Nanda，佛陀弟子）、阿難陀（Ananda，佛陀十大弟子之一）、羅睺羅（Rahula，佛陀之子）。這些都是大眾所熟知，常為天龍八部（Devas and Nagas，佛教中的護法神）所尊敬的人。還有菩薩摩訶薩（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva，大菩薩）兩萬人，他們都具備大智慧和根本修行，調伏諸根，圓滿了六度（six paramitas，佈施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧），具足佛的威儀，心量廣大如海。他們的名字是：文殊師利（Manjusri，菩薩名）童子、寶月（Ratnacandra）童子、月光（Candraprabha）童子、寶積（Ratnakuta）童子、曰藏（Adityagarbha）童子、跋陀婆羅（Bhadrapala）菩薩，以及與其同類的十六人。彌勒（Maitreya，未來佛）菩薩等菩薩摩訶薩兩萬人。當時，世尊（Buddha）與四眾（four kinds of disciples，比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷）、天龍八部、人與非人等恭敬圍繞著。當時，毗舍離國的一切人民都得了大惡病：一是眼睛赤紅如血，二是兩耳流膿，三是鼻中流血，四是舌頭僵硬不能說話，五是所食之物都變得粗糙難以下嚥，六識（six consciousnesses）閉塞，就像醉酒的人一樣。有五個夜叉（yaksa，惡鬼）名叫訖拏迦羅（Krnakala），面色黑如墨，長著五隻眼睛，狗牙向上突出，吸食人的精氣。當時，毗舍離大城之中，有一位長者（householder）名叫月蓋（Candraprabha），與他同類的五百位長者，一同前往佛陀的住所，到達后，頭面著地頂禮佛陀，然後退到一旁站立。
【English Translation】 English version The Dharani Sutra for Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to Subdue and Eliminate Poisons and Harm
Translated by the Upasaka Zhu Nanti (竺難提), a resident of India during the Eastern Jin Dynasty; translated into the language of Jin by Fa Xi (法喜).
Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the great forest monastery in the Amra tree garden (庵羅樹園) of Vaisali (毗舍離), in a multi-storied lecture hall. He was with twelve hundred and fifty bhikkhus (比丘), all of whom were arhats (阿羅漢), their outflows exhausted, no longer subject to future existence, as pure as refined gold, their bodies and minds clear and still, with unobstructed six supernormal powers (六通). Their names were: the greatly wise Sariputra (舍利弗), Maha Maudgalyayana (摩訶目揵連), Maha Kasyapa (摩訶迦葉), Maha Katyayana (摩訶迦旃延), Subhuti (須菩提), Aniruddha (阿㝹樓馱), Kapilavastu (劫賓那), Gavampati (橋梵波提), Pilindavatsa (畢陵伽婆蹉), Bakula (薄拘羅), Nanda (難陀), Ananda (阿難陀), Rahula (羅睺羅). These were all well-known to the assembly and constantly revered by the eight classes of gods and dragons (天龍八部). Furthermore, there were two myriads of Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (菩薩摩訶薩) in attendance, all accomplished in great wisdom and fundamental practice, having subdued their faculties, fulfilled the six paramitas (六度), possessing the dignified deportment of the Buddha, their minds as vast as the sea. Their names were: the youth Manjusri (文殊師利), the youth Ratnacandra (寶月), the youth Candraprabha (月光), the youth Ratnakuta (寶積), the youth Adityagarbha (曰藏), the Bodhisattva Bhadrapala (跋陀婆羅), and sixteen others of his kind. There were also two myriads of Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas such as the Bodhisattva Maitreya (彌勒). At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊) was respectfully surrounded by the four kinds of disciples (四眾), the eight classes of gods and dragons, humans and non-humans, and others. At that time, all the people of the country of Vaisali were afflicted with a great and terrible disease: first, their eyes were as red as blood; second, pus flowed from both ears; third, blood flowed from their noses; fourth, their tongues were stiff and they could not speak; fifth, the food they ate turned coarse and unpalatable; their six consciousnesses (六識) were blocked, as if they were drunk. There were five yakshas (夜叉) named Krnakala (訖拏迦羅), their faces as black as ink, with five eyes, their dog teeth protruding upwards, sucking the essence of people's vital energy. At that time, in the great city of Vaisali, there was a householder (長者) named Candraprabha (月蓋), and five hundred householders of his kind, who together went to the place where the Buddha was. Having arrived, they prostrated themselves before the Buddha, touching their heads to the ground, and then stood to one side.
白言世尊。此國人民遇大惡病。良醫耆婆盡其道術所不能救。唯愿天尊慈愍一切。救濟病苦令得無患。爾時世尊告長者言。去此不遠正主西方。有佛世尊名無量壽。彼有菩薩名觀世音及大勢至。恒以大悲憐愍一切救濟苦厄。汝今應當五體投地向彼作禮。燒香散華繫念數息。令心不散經十念頃。為眾生故當請彼佛及二菩薩。說是語時于佛光中。得見西方無量壽佛並二菩薩。如來神力佛及菩薩俱到此國。往毗舍離住城門閫。佛二菩薩與諸大眾放大光明。照毗舍離皆作金色。爾時毗舍離人。即具楊枝凈水。授與觀世音菩薩。大悲觀世音。憐愍救護一切眾生故而說咒曰。普教一切眾生而作是言。汝等今者應當一心稱。南無佛南無法南無僧。南無觀世音菩薩摩訶薩。大悲大名稱救護苦厄者。如此三稱三寶。三稱觀世音菩薩名。燒眾名香五體投地。向于西方一心一意令氣息定。為免苦厄請觀世音。合十指掌而說偈言。
愿救我苦厄 大悲覆一切 普放凈光明 滅除癡闇冥 為免殺害苦 煩惱及眾病 必來至我所 施我大安樂 我今稽首禮 聞名救厄者 我今自歸依 世間慈悲父 唯愿必定來 免我三毒苦 施我今世樂 及與大涅槃
白佛言世尊。如是神咒必定吉祥。乃是過去現在未來十
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 長者白言世尊：『這個國家的人民遭遇大惡病，即使是良醫耆婆（Jivaka，古代名醫）用盡他的醫術也不能救治。唯愿世尊慈悲憐憫一切眾生，救濟他們的病苦，使他們沒有憂患。』 這時，世尊告訴長者說：『從這裡向西不遠的地方，有一位佛世尊，名為無量壽（Amitayus，阿彌陀佛）。他那裡有兩位菩薩，名為觀世音（Avalokiteśvara）和大勢至（Mahāsthāmaprāpta）。他們常常以大悲心憐憫一切眾生，救濟他們的苦難。你現在應當五體投地，向他們作禮，燒香散花，繫念並調整呼吸，使心不散亂，持續十唸的時間。爲了眾生的緣故，應當祈請阿彌陀佛及兩位菩薩。』 在世尊說這些話的時候，從佛的光芒中，人們得見西方的無量壽佛以及兩位菩薩。憑藉如來的神力，佛和菩薩一同來到這個國家，前往毗舍離（Vaiśālī，古印度城市）並住在城門口。佛和兩位菩薩與大眾一起放出大光明，照耀毗舍離，使一切都變成金色。 這時，毗舍離的人民，立即準備好楊枝和凈水，獻給觀世音菩薩。大悲觀世音菩薩，爲了憐憫救護一切眾生，於是宣說了咒語，普遍教導一切眾生，並這樣說：『你們現在應當一心稱念：南無佛（Namo Buddhaya，皈依佛），南無法（Namo Dharmaya，皈依法），南無僧（Namo Saṃghaya，皈依僧），南無觀世音菩薩摩訶薩（Namo Avalokiteśvarāya Bodhisattvāya Mahāsattvāya，皈依觀世音菩薩摩訶薩），以大悲心和大名稱救護苦難的人。』 像這樣三稱三寶，三稱觀世音菩薩的名號，焚燒各種名香，五體投地，面向西方，一心一意使氣息安定。爲了免除苦難，祈請觀世音菩薩，合起十指手掌，並說偈頌： 『愿您救度我的苦難， 以大悲心覆蓋一切， 普遍放出清凈光明， 滅除愚癡黑暗。 爲了免除殺害的痛苦， 煩惱以及各種疾病， 必定來到我的處所， 施予我大安樂。 我今稽首頂禮， 向聞名救難者， 我今自我歸依， 世間慈悲的父親。 唯愿您必定降臨， 免除我三毒的痛苦， 施予我今世的快樂， 以及偉大的涅槃。』 長者稟告佛說：『世尊，這樣的神咒必定吉祥，乃是過去、現在、未來十
【English Translation】 English version: The elder said to the World Honored One: 'The people of this country are suffering from a great and terrible disease, which even the skilled physician Jivaka (ancient famous doctor) cannot cure with all his medical skills. I beseech the World Honored One to have compassion and pity on all beings, to relieve their suffering from illness, and to grant them freedom from worry.' At that time, the World Honored One told the elder, 'Not far from here to the west, there is a Buddha World Honored One named Amitayus (Amitabha). There are two Bodhisattvas there named Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta. They constantly have great compassion and pity for all beings, relieving their suffering and difficulties. You should now prostrate yourself with the five limbs touching the ground, pay homage to them, burn incense, scatter flowers, focus your mind and regulate your breath, so that your mind is not scattered, for the duration of ten recitations. For the sake of all beings, you should invite that Buddha and the two Bodhisattvas.' As the World Honored One spoke these words, from the light of the Buddha, people saw Amitayus Buddha of the West and the two Bodhisattvas. By the divine power of the Tathagata, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas came together to this country, went to Vaiśālī (ancient Indian city) and stayed at the city gate. The Buddha, the two Bodhisattvas, and the great assembly emitted great light, illuminating Vaiśālī, making everything golden. At that time, the people of Vaiśālī immediately prepared willow branches and pure water, and offered them to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva. The Great Compassionate Avalokiteśvara, in order to have compassion and protect all beings, then spoke the mantra, universally teaching all beings, and said: 'You should now single-mindedly recite: Namo Buddhaya (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharmaya (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Saṃghaya (Homage to the Sangha), Namo Avalokiteśvarāya Bodhisattvāya Mahāsattvāya (Homage to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva), the one who protects those in distress with great compassion and a great name.' Like this, recite the Three Jewels three times, recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva three times, burn various famous incenses, prostrate with the five limbs touching the ground, face the West, and single-mindedly stabilize your breath. To be free from suffering, pray to Avalokiteśvara, join your ten fingers together, and say the following verse: 'May you save me from suffering, Covering everything with great compassion, Universally emitting pure light, Eliminating ignorance and darkness. To be free from the suffering of killing, Afflictions and various diseases, You will surely come to my place, Bestowing great peace and happiness upon me. I now bow my head in reverence, To the one who is known to save from difficulties, I now take refuge in myself, The compassionate father of the world. May you surely come, Free me from the suffering of the three poisons, Grant me happiness in this life, And great Nirvana.' The elder reported to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, such a divine mantra is surely auspicious, and it belongs to the past, present, and future ten

【English Translation】 English version: The Mudra-seal Dharani of All Buddhas' Great Compassion. Those who hear this mantra will have all suffering eternally exhausted, constantly attain peace and happiness, and stay far from the Eight Difficulties. They will attain the Samadhi of mindfulness of the Buddha and see the Buddha appear before them. I will now speak the divine mantra of all Buddhas of the ten directions who rescue and protect sentient beings.
Tadyatha, uhu ni (named good throat ghost), mohu ni (named ignorant ghost), jia po ni (named afraid of people ghost), dan po ni (named rebellious ghost), an cha li (named not white ghost), ban cha li (named white ghost), shou pi di (named green ghost), ban ban cha cha la la (named ghost mother before ghost mother), po si ni duo zhi tuo (thus), yi li mei li (named going ghost), ti li shou li (named rebellious ghost), jia bo li (named wearing skull ghost and bound to both cheeks), qu di duan qi (named eating children ghost), zhan tuo li (named approaching people ghost), mo deng qi (named lion head ghost, demon king ghost, lion head), laksha laksha (protect all sentient beings), sarva sattva sarva bhaya pi (meaning all possible ghosts), qian he (meaning go away), duo cha tuo qie di qie di ni qie di (meaning already gone), xiu liu pi xiu liu pi (go, don't come, don't come), laksha laksha (meaning protect), sarva bhaya pi qian he (meaning go away).
The Buddha was addressed, 'World Honored One, this divine mantra is proclaimed by the countless Buddhas of the ten directions and three periods of time. Those who recite and uphold this mantra will always be protected by all Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas, and will be freed from fear, weapons, poisons, and illnesses, so that they will be without affliction.' As these words were spoken, the people of Vaishali (a city in ancient India) were restored to their original state.
At that time, the World Honored One, out of compassion for sentient beings and to protect all, again requested Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva) to speak the Dharani mantra for subduing and eliminating poisons and harms. At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva), with great compassion filling his heart, relying on the Buddha's divine power, spoke the Dharani mantra for breaking evil karmic obstacles and subduing and eliminating poisons and harms.
Namo Buddhaya (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharmaya (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Sanghaya (Homage to the Sangha), Namo Avalokiteśvaraya Bodhisattva Mahasattvaya (Homage to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, the Great Being), with great kindness and great compassion, I only wish that you have pity on me, rescue me from suffering and protect me.

All fears, all poisons, all evil ghosts, tigers, wolves, and lions, when they hear this mantra, their mouths immediately close, and they cannot cause harm. If someone breaks the pure conduct, commits the ten evil deeds, when they hear this mantra, the filth is washed away, and they regain purity. If someone has karmic obstacles, turbidity, evil, and unwholesomeness, reciting the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and holding this mantra, they can break through karmic obstacles and see the Buddha immediately. The Buddha told Ananda, if there are disciples of the four assemblies who uphold the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, recite the Dharani that subdues poisons and harms, those who practice this mantra will always be free from illness in body and mind. Even if great fires come from all directions and burn their bodies, by virtue of reciting this mantra, the Dragon King will send down rain, and they will immediately be liberated. If the fire burns the body and the joints ache, sincerely reciting the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and reciting this mantra three times, they will be healed. If one encounters expensive grains, famine, royal disasters, evil beasts, thieves, gets lost on the road, is imprisoned, bound by shackles and fetters, tied with five kinds of restraints, enters the great sea, encounters black winds and swirling waves.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：面臨色之山夜叉（Yaksha，一種鬼神）羅剎（Rakshasa，一種惡鬼）的災難，或者面臨毒藥、刀劍、刑罰處決的威脅，這是因為過去所造的惡業，現在又造作各種惡行。因為這些因緣，承受一切痛苦，內心充滿極大的恐懼。這時，應當一心稱念觀世音菩薩的名號，並且誦唸此咒一遍到七遍，就能消除毒害，以及惡業、惡行、不善的惡行聚集。這些惡業就像火燒柴薪一樣，永遠燒盡，不留殘餘。因為這個因緣，這個觀世音菩薩所說的神咒，名為施一切眾生甘露妙藥，能使眾生得到沒有疾病的畏懼、沒有橫死的畏懼、沒有被束縛的畏懼，以及貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡這三種毒的畏懼。因此，這個娑婆世界，都稱觀世音菩薩為施無畏者。這個陀羅尼（Dharani，總持）灌頂的章句，是無上的梵行（Brahma-caryā，清凈行），必定帶來吉祥，是巨大的功德之海。眾生聽聞此咒，就能獲得巨大的安樂，應當默默背誦。如果想要誦唸此咒，應當持齋，不飲酒，不吃肉，用灰塗抹身體，洗澡使身體清凈，不吃興渠（一種氣味強烈的植物）和五辛（五種辛辣的蔬菜），所有能發出強烈氣味的食物都不要吃。不要去婦女污穢的地方。經常憶念十方佛和七佛世尊，一心稱念觀世音菩薩，誦持此咒，現世就能得見觀音菩薩，一切善愿都能成就，後世生於佛前，永遠與痛苦告別。佛告訴阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）：王舍大城有一個女人，被惡鬼所控制，名叫旃陀利（Candalī）。那個鬼晝夜變成男人的形狀來騷擾這個女人。鬼的精氣進入她的身體，生了五百個鬼子。你還記得這件事嗎？我當時教這個女人稱念觀世音菩薩，善心相續，進入善良的境界。阿難，你應該知道，如此菩薩的威神之力，能使惡鬼消伏，使她得見我無比的色身形象。我當時每一個毛孔都顯現寶蓮華，無數化佛異口同聲，稱讚大悲施無畏者，讓這個女人受持、讀誦、通利此咒。此咒的功德能使三障（煩惱障、業障、報障）永遠消除，免除三界（欲界、色界、無色界）的獄火，不受各種痛苦，四百四病一時不起。如果有眾生進入戰場，面臨被殺害的危險，誦唸此咒，稱念大悲觀世音菩薩的名號，就像老鷹迅速飛翔一樣，立即就能得到解脫。
【English Translation】 English version: Facing the calamities of Yaksha (a type of spirit) and Rakshasa (a type of demon) in the mountain of color, or facing the threats of poison, swords, and capital punishment, this is because of the evil deeds committed in the past, and now creating various evil actions. Because of these causes and conditions, one endures all suffering and is filled with great fear. At this time, one should single-mindedly recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and recite this mantra from one to seven times, which can eliminate poison, evil karma, evil deeds, and the accumulation of unwholesome evil. These evil karmas are like firewood burned by fire, forever burned out, leaving no residue. Because of this cause and condition, this divine mantra spoken by Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva is called the sweet dew medicine that bestows upon all sentient beings, enabling sentient beings to obtain fearlessness from disease, fearlessness from untimely death, fearlessness from being bound, and fearlessness from the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. Therefore, this Saha world calls Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva the giver of fearlessness. This Dharani (a type of mantra) empowerment chapter is the supreme Brahma-caryā (pure conduct), which will surely bring auspiciousness and is a vast ocean of merit. Sentient beings who hear this mantra will obtain great joy and should recite it silently. If one wishes to recite this mantra, one should observe a fast, not drink alcohol, not eat meat, smear the body with ash, bathe to purify the body, not eat asafoetida (a strong-smelling plant) and the five pungent spices (five spicy vegetables), and not eat anything that can emit a strong odor. Do not go to places where women are unclean. Constantly remember the Buddhas of the ten directions and the Seven Buddhas, single-mindedly recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and recite this mantra. In this life, one will be able to see Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and all good wishes will be fulfilled. In the next life, one will be born before the Buddha and forever be separated from suffering. The Buddha told Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): In the great city of Rajagriha, there was a woman possessed by an evil spirit named Candalī. That ghost transformed into the form of a man day and night to harass this woman. The ghost's essence entered her body, and she gave birth to five hundred ghost children. Do you remember this event? At that time, I taught this woman to recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and her good thoughts continued, entering a good realm. Ananda, you should know that the power of this Bodhisattva's majestic spirit can subdue evil spirits, allowing her to see my incomparable form. At that time, every pore of my body manifested a precious lotus flower, and countless manifested Buddhas praised the great compassionate giver of fearlessness with one voice, allowing this woman to receive, recite, and master this mantra. The merit of this mantra can eliminate the three obstacles (klesha-avarana, karma-avarana, vipaka-avarana) forever, freeing one from the hellfire of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm), not suffering various pains, and the four hundred and four diseases will not arise at once. If there are sentient beings who enter the battlefield and face the danger of being killed, reciting this mantra and reciting the name of the great compassionate Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, like a falcon flying swiftly, they will immediately be liberated.
。若有眾生受大苦惱。閉在囹圄杻械枷鎖。及諸刑罰一日乃至十日。一月乃至五月。應當凈心繫念一處。稱觀世音菩薩歸依三寶。三稱我名誦大吉祥六字章句救苦神咒。而說咒曰。

爾時世尊說是神咒已。告阿難言。若善男子善女人四部弟子。得聞觀世音菩薩名號。並受持讀誦六字章句。若行曠野迷失道徑。誦此咒故觀世音菩薩。大悲熏心化為人像。示其道路令得安隱。若當飢渴化作泉井。果蓏飲食令得飽滿。設復有人遇大禍對。亡失國土妻子財產與怨憎會。稱觀世音菩薩名號。誦唸此咒數息繫念。無分散意經七七日。時大悲者化為天像。及作大力鬼神王像。接還本土令得安隱。若復有人入海采寶空山曠野逢值虎狼師子毒蟲蝮蝎。夜叉羅剎拘槃茶。及諸惡鬼啖精氣者。三稱觀世音菩薩名號。及誦此咒即得解脫。若有婦人生產難者臨當命終。三稱觀世音菩薩名號。並誦持此咒即得解脫。遇大惡賊盜其財
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 如果眾生遭受巨大的苦惱，被囚禁在牢獄中，帶著頸枷、手銬、腳鐐等刑具，以及各種刑罰，一天乃至十天，一月乃至五月，應當以清凈的心專注於一處，稱念觀世音菩薩（Avalokiteśvara）的名號，歸依三寶。三次稱念我的名字，誦讀大吉祥六字章句救苦神咒。並唸誦咒語如下：
多侄咃（Tadyatha） 安陀詈（Andhari） 般茶詈（Pandari） 枳由詈（Kiyuri，名著瓔珞鬼） 檀陀詈（Dandari，名捉鐵捧鬼） 膻陀詈（Shandari，名捉釿鬼） 底耶婆陀（Tiyavata，名與人光鬼） 耶賒婆陀（Yashavata，名聞鬼） 頗羅膩祇（Pharaniqi，名長出齒鬼） 難多詈（Nandari，名大身鬼） 婆伽詈（Bhagari，名大面鬼） 阿盧禰（Aruni，名閉目鬼） 薄鳩詈（Bakuri，名著鐘鬼，此鬼兩耳戴著大鐘） 摸鳩隸（Mokuri，名披頭鬼） 兜毗隸（Toupili，名住石窟鬼） 𦀟呵
這時，世尊（Buddha）說完這個神咒后，告訴阿難（Ananda）說：『如果善男子、善女人、四部弟子，能夠聽聞觀世音菩薩的名號，並且受持讀誦這六字章句，如果在曠野中行走迷失了道路，因為誦唸這個咒語的緣故，觀世音菩薩會以大悲心感應，化作人形，指示道路，使他們能夠平安無事。如果遇到飢渴，會化作泉水、水果和食物，使他們得到飽足。假設有人遇到大災禍，喪失了國土、妻子、財產，與怨恨的人相遇，稱念觀世音菩薩的名號，誦唸這個咒語，以數息的方式專注于唸誦，不分散心意，經過七七四十九天，這時大悲者會化作天人形象，或者化作大力鬼神王的形象，接他們回到故土，使他們得到平安。如果有人進入大海采寶，或者在空曠的山野中，遇到虎狼、獅子、毒蟲、蝮蛇、蝎子、夜叉（Yaksa）、羅剎（Rakshasa）、鳩槃茶（Kumbhanda），以及各種吸食精氣的惡鬼，三次稱念觀世音菩薩的名號，並且誦唸這個咒語，就能得到解脫。如果有婦人生產困難，臨近死亡，三次稱念觀世音菩薩的名號，並且誦持這個咒語，就能得到解脫，即使遇到大惡賊搶奪她的財物。』
【English Translation】 English version: If sentient beings are suffering greatly, imprisoned in jails with neck yokes, handcuffs, shackles, and various other forms of punishment for one to ten days, or one to five months, they should purify their minds and focus on one place, reciting the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara), taking refuge in the Three Jewels. They should recite my name three times and chant the Great Auspicious Six-Syllable Verse, the Saving-from-Suffering Divine Mantra. And recite the mantra as follows:
Tadyatha Andhari Pandari Kiyuri (named 'Adorned with Necklaces Ghost') Dandari (named 'Iron Club-Wielding Ghost') Shandari (named 'Axe-Wielding Ghost') Tiyavata (named 'Light-Giving Ghost') Yashavata (named 'Hearing Ghost') Pharaniqi (named 'Long-Toothed Ghost') Nandari (named 'Large-Bodied Ghost') Bhagari (named 'Large-Faced Ghost') Aruni (named 'Eyes-Closed Ghost') Bakuri (named 'Bell-Wearing Ghost', this ghost wears large bells on both ears) Mokuri (named 'Disheveled-Hair Ghost') Toupili (named 'Cave-Dwelling Ghost') Svaha
At that time, the World-Honored One (Buddha), having spoken this divine mantra, said to Ananda (Ananda): 'If good men, good women, and the fourfold assembly of disciples can hear the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and receive, uphold, read, and recite this six-syllable verse, if they are walking in the wilderness and lose their way, because of reciting this mantra, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, with great compassion, will transform into a human form, showing them the way so that they can be safe and secure. If they are hungry and thirsty, he will transform into springs, fruits, and food, so that they can be satisfied. Suppose someone encounters great misfortune, losing their country, wife, property, and meeting with hateful enemies, if they recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, chanting this mantra, focusing their minds on the recitation with each breath, without distraction, for forty-nine days, then the Great Compassionate One will transform into a celestial being, or transform into a powerful ghost-spirit king, taking them back to their homeland, so that they can be safe and secure. If someone enters the sea to gather treasures, or in empty mountains and wilderness encounters tigers, wolves, lions, poisonous insects, vipers, scorpions, Yakshas (Yaksa), Rakshasas (Rakshasa), Kumbhandas (Kumbhanda), and various evil ghosts that devour essence and energy, if they recite the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva three times and chant this mantra, they will be liberated. If a woman has a difficult childbirth and is near death, if she recites the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva three times and upholds and recites this mantra, she will be liberated, even if she encounters great thieves stealing her wealth.'

爾時世尊說是語已。告阿難言。是六字章 English version: Material. If one recites the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva who contemplates the sounds of the world) three times and chants this mantra, the thief will develop a compassionate heart and leave by the same path. Ānanda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha), you should know that this Bodhisattva and this divine mantra are certainly auspicious. They can always subdue all poisons and harms, truly and without falsehood. They universally bestow upon all beings in the three realms freedom from fear, providing great protection so that they may enjoy happiness in this life. In future lives, they will be born in places where they can see the Buddha and hear the Dharma, quickly attaining liberation. The majestic power of this mantra is immeasurable, enabling beings to escape the suffering of hell, the suffering of hungry ghosts, the suffering of animals, the suffering of asuras (a type of warring deity), and the eight difficulties. It is like water extinguishing fire, completely and without remainder. Ānanda, you should know that if one receives and upholds the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and also holds this mantra, one will obtain great benefits, subduing poisons and harms. In this life and future lives, all inauspicious events will be completely and without remainder eliminated. Maintaining precepts, being diligent and advancing, mindfulness, concentration, and total retention will all be fully attained. Ānanda, you should know that if one hears this six-syllable verse, the supreme divine mantra that is the King of Healing who saves from suffering, and calls upon the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva with great compassion, one's sinful defilements will be eliminated. Immediately in this very life, one will see eighty billion Buddhas who will all come and extend their hands, speaking of the merit, virtuous power, and six-syllable verse of the one who bestows fearlessness with great compassion. Because of seeing the Buddhas, one will immediately obtain the Unforgettable Revolving Dharani (dhāraṇī, a mnemonic device, a summary of teachings). At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse:
Great compassion, great renown, Auspicious and happy person, Constantly speaking auspicious phrases, Saving those in extreme suffering. If beings hear the name, They will be liberated from suffering, Even playing in hell, Great compassionately bearing suffering on their behalf. Or dwelling among animals, Transforming into the form of animals, Teaching with great wisdom, Causing them to generate unsurpassed minds. Or dwelling among asuras, Softly speaking to subdue their minds, Causing them to eliminate habits of arrogance and pride, Quickly reaching the shore of non-action. Manifesting as hungry ghosts, Hands producing fragrant, colored milk, For those oppressed by hunger and thirst, Bestowing it so they may be satisfied. With great kindness and great compassion, Playing in the five paths, Constantly gathering wisdom with goodness, Universally teaching all beings. With unsurpassed, excellent expedient means, Causing them to leave the suffering of birth and death, Constantly attaining peaceful and happy places, Reaching the shore of great Nirvana.
At that time, the World Honored One, having spoken these words, said to Ānanda, 'This six-syllable verse.'

句畢定吉祥真實不虛。若有聞者獲大善利得無量功德。說是語已。王舍大城有一比丘名優波斯那。精進勇猛勤行難行苦行。如救頭然。在寒林中與無央數大眾圍繞。自說往昔作諸惡行殺生無量。聞觀世音菩薩六字章句正念思惟觀心心脈使想一處見觀世音菩薩即得解脫成阿羅漢。云何當得見觀世音菩薩及十方佛。若欲得見。端身正心使心不動心氣相續。以左手置右手上。舉舌向腭令息調勻。使氣不粗不細安祥。徐數從一至十成就息念。無分散意使氣不粗。亦不外向不澀不滑。如嬰兒飲乳吸氣𡂡之。不青不白調和得中。從於心端四十脈下取一中脈。令氣從中安隱得至十四脈中。從大脈生至於舌下。復從舌脈出至於舌端。不青不白不黃不黑。如琉璃器正長八寸。至於鼻端還入心根令心明凈。佛告諸比丘。此大精進勇猛寶憧六字章句。消伏毒害大悲功德。觀世音菩薩以此數息。心定力故如駛水流。疾疾得見觀世音菩薩及十方佛。佛告諸比丘汝等善聽。欲服甘露無上法味。若諸比丘已得出家。當自攝身不壞威儀。端坐正受無外向意。觀于苦空無常敗壞不久磨滅。修五門禪當自觀身。從頭至足一一節間。皆令繫念停住不散。諦觀眾節如芭蕉樹內外俱空。當知色受想行識亦復如是。佛說是語時。尊者舍利弗。在寒林中還坐樹下。已解
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：說完這些話后，王舍城（Rājagṛha，古代印度城市）有一位名叫優波斯那（Upasena，比丘名）的比丘，他精進勇猛，勤奮地修行難行苦行，就像要保住自己的頭一樣。他在寒林（burial ground）中被無數大眾圍繞，親自講述自己往昔所作的各種惡行，殺生無數。後來他聽聞了觀世音菩薩（Avalokiteśvara，菩薩名）的六字章句（six-syllable mantra），以正念思維，觀察心和心脈，使意念集中在一處，見到了觀世音菩薩，立即得到解脫，成就阿羅漢（Arhat，佛教修行果位）。
如何才能得見觀世音菩薩以及十方諸佛呢？如果想要得見，就應當端正身心，使心不動搖，心氣相續。用左手放在右手上，舉起舌頭抵住上顎，使呼吸調勻，使氣息不粗不細，安詳。慢慢地從一數到十，成就息念，不要分散意念，使氣息不粗重，也不向外散發，不澀滯也不滑脫，就像嬰兒吮吸乳汁一樣吸氣。氣息的顏色不青不白，調和得當。從心端向下，在四十條脈絡中選取一條中脈，使氣息從中安穩地到達十四條脈絡中。氣息從大脈產生，到達舌下，又從舌脈到達舌端。氣息的顏色不青不白，不黃不黑，像琉璃器一樣，正直地延伸八寸，到達鼻端，然後返回心根，使心明凈。
佛（Buddha，覺悟者）告訴諸位比丘：『這大精進勇猛寶幢六字章句，能夠消除毒害，具有大悲功德。觀世音菩薩用這種數息的方法，因為心定力的緣故，就像急速的水流一樣，迅速地得見觀世音菩薩以及十方諸佛。』
佛告訴諸位比丘：『你們好好聽著。如果想要服用甘露無上法味，如果各位比丘已經出家，應當約束自身，不破壞威儀，端坐正受，沒有向外馳散的意念，觀察苦、空、無常、敗壞，不久就會磨滅。修習五門禪，應當自己觀察身體，從頭到腳，每一個關節之間，都要繫念，停留在那裡不散亂。仔細觀察關節，就像芭蕉樹一樣，內外都是空的。應當知道色、受、想、行、識也是如此。』
佛說這些話的時候，尊者舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一）在寒林中，回到樹下坐著，已經解脫了。
【English Translation】 English version: After these words were spoken, in the great city of Rājagṛha (ancient Indian city), there was a Bhikṣu (monk) named Upasena (name of a Bhikṣu), who was diligent and brave, diligently practicing difficult and ascetic practices, as if trying to save his own head. He was in the burial ground surrounded by countless people, personally recounting the various evil deeds he had committed in the past, killing countless beings. Later, he heard the six-syllable mantra of Avalokiteśvara (name of a Bodhisattva), contemplating with right mindfulness, observing the heart and heart channels, focusing his mind in one place, and saw Avalokiteśvara, immediately attaining liberation and becoming an Arhat (Buddhist attainment).
How can one see Avalokiteśvara and the Buddhas of the ten directions? If you wish to see them, you should straighten your body and mind, keep your mind still, and let your breath continue. Place your left hand on your right hand, raise your tongue to the palate, and regulate your breath evenly, so that it is neither coarse nor fine, but peaceful. Slowly count from one to ten, achieving mindfulness of breath, without scattering your mind, keeping your breath neither coarse nor outward-directed, neither stagnant nor slippery, inhaling like a baby sucking milk. The color of the breath should be neither blue nor white, but harmoniously balanced. From the tip of the heart downwards, select a central channel from the forty channels, allowing the breath to securely reach the fourteen channels. The breath arises from the large channel, reaching under the tongue, and then from the tongue channel to the tip of the tongue. The color of the breath should be neither blue nor white, nor yellow nor black, like a crystal vessel, extending straight for eight inches, reaching the tip of the nose, and then returning to the root of the heart, making the heart clear and pure.
The Buddha (the Awakened One) told the Bhikṣus: 'This great diligent and brave banner of the six-syllable mantra can eliminate poisons and has the merit of great compassion. Avalokiteśvara uses this method of counting breaths, and because of the power of mental concentration, like a rapid stream of water, he quickly sees Avalokiteśvara and the Buddhas of the ten directions.'
The Buddha told the Bhikṣus: 'Listen carefully. If you wish to taste the nectar of the unsurpassed Dharma, if you Bhikṣus have already left home, you should restrain yourselves, not violate the rules of conduct, sit upright and receive, without outward-directed thoughts, observing suffering, emptiness, impermanence, decay, and that it will soon perish. Practice the five gates of meditation, and you should observe your own body, from head to toe, each joint, keeping your mind focused there without scattering. Carefully observe the joints, like a banana tree, empty both inside and out. You should know that form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this.'
When the Buddha spoke these words, the Venerable Śāriputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) was in the burial ground, returning to sit under the tree, already liberated.
佛意端坐正受。入於三昧身真金色。令無數人見者歡喜發菩提心。時優波斯那即從座起。至尊者舍利弗所。頭面著地接足作禮。白言尊者。曏者如來讚歎數息。以是因緣獲大善利。云何數息唯愿尊者為我解說。眼眼識與色相應云何攝住。耳耳識與聲相應云何攝住。鼻鼻識與香相應云何攝住。舌舌識與味相應云何攝住。意意識與攀緣相應云何攝住。諸顛倒想與顛倒相應云何攝住。色聲香味觸與細滑相應云何攝住。而此識賊如猿猴走。遊戲六根遍緣諸法雲何攝住。時舍利弗告優波斯那。汝今當觀地大地無堅性。水大水性不住。風大風性無礙。從顛倒有火大火性不實。假因緣生色受想行識。一一性相同於水火風等。皆悉入于如實之際。時優波斯那聞是語已。身如水火得四大定。通達五陰空無所有。殺諸結賊豁然意解。得阿羅漢身中出火。即自碎身入般涅槃。時舍利弗收其舍利。于上起塔已。為佛作禮白佛言世尊。佛說禪定第一甘露無上法味。若有服者身如琉璃毛孔見佛。觀無明行乃至老死。一一性相皆悉不實。如空谷響如芭蕉樹無堅實。如熱時焰如野馬行。如乾闥婆城如水上泡。如幻如化如露如電。一一諦觀十二因緣成緣覺道。或入寂定琉璃三昧。見佛無數發無上心。修童真行住不退轉佛告舍利弗。如優波斯那聞我說是大悲
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 佛以禪定的姿態端坐，進入三昧的境界，身體呈現出真正的金色光芒，讓無數見到的人心生歡喜，發起菩提之心（覺悟之心）。 這時，優波斯那（Upasena，人名）立即從座位上起身，來到尊者舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著稱）的住所，頭面觸地，以雙足接禮的方式向他致敬，並說道：『尊者，先前如來（Tathagata，佛陀的稱號之一）讚歎數息法（Anapanasati，通過計數呼吸來集中注意力的方法），說通過這種因緣可以獲得巨大的善利。請問尊者，如何運用數息法？如何攝住眼、眼識與色塵（Rupa，視覺對像）的相應？如何攝住耳、耳識與聲塵（Sabda，聽覺對像）的相應？如何攝住鼻、鼻識與香塵（Gandha，嗅覺對像）的相應？如何攝住舌、舌識與味塵（Rasa，味覺對像）的相應？如何攝住意、意識與攀緣（Dharma，法，此處指思想對像）的相應？如何攝住各種顛倒想（Viparyasa，錯誤的認知）與顛倒的相應？如何攝住色、聲、香、味、觸與細滑的相應？而這意識之賊，像猿猴一樣跳躍不定，在六根（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意）中嬉戲，遍緣各種法塵，又該如何攝住它呢？』 這時，舍利弗告訴優波斯那：『你現在應當觀察地大（Prthivi-dhatu，構成物質世界的元素之一，代表堅固性），地大沒有堅固的自性；水大（Apo-dhatu，構成物質世界的元素之一，代表流動性），水大之性不住；風大（Vayu-dhatu，構成物質世界的元素之一，代表運動性），風大之性無礙。從顛倒妄想中產生火大（Tejo-dhatu，構成物質世界的元素之一，代表熱能），火大之性不真實。色（Rupa，物質）、受（Vedana，感受）、想（Samjna，認知）、行（Samskara，意志）、識（Vijnana，意識）這五蘊（Skandha，構成個體存在的五種要素）是假借因緣而生，它們的自性與水、火、風等相同，都應當進入如實之際（Yathabhutam，事物本來的真實狀態）。』 這時，優波斯那聽了這些話后，身體如同水火交融，證得了四大禪定（Catur-dhyana，四種禪定境界），通達了五蘊皆空，殺盡了各種煩惱結縛，豁然開悟，證得阿羅漢果（Arhat，斷盡煩惱，達到解脫的聖者）。他的身體中發出火焰，隨即自行碎裂身體，進入般涅槃（Parinirvana，完全的涅槃，不再輪迴）。 這時，舍利弗收集了他的舍利（Sarira，遺骨），在上面建造了佛塔。之後，向佛陀作禮，稟告佛陀說：『世尊，佛陀所說的禪定是第一甘露，是無上的法味。如果有人服用，身體就會像琉璃一樣清澈，甚至能從毛孔中見到佛。觀察無明（Avidya，對事物真相的無知）行（Samskara，業力）乃至老死（Jara-marana，衰老和死亡），它們的自性都不真實，如同空谷的迴響，如同芭蕉樹一樣沒有堅實，如同熱季的海市蜃樓，如同野馬的奔跑，如同乾闥婆城（Gandharva-nagara，海市蜃樓），如同水上的泡沫，如夢幻，如變化，如露水，如閃電。一一仔細觀察十二因緣（Dvadasanga-pratityasamutpada，構成生命輪迴的十二個環節），就能成就緣覺道（Pratyekabuddha，不需依賴他人教導，通過自身努力證悟的聖者）。或者進入寂靜的禪定，琉璃三昧，見到無數的佛，發起無上的菩提心，修持童真之行，住于不退轉的境界。』佛陀告訴舍利弗：『就像優波斯那聽我說這大悲法門』
【English Translation】 English version The Buddha sat upright in meditative concentration, entering into Samadhi (a state of profound meditation) with his body radiating true golden light, causing countless people who saw him to rejoice and generate Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment). At that time, Upasena (a personal name) immediately arose from his seat and went to the Venerable Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten principal disciples, known for his wisdom), prostrating himself with his head touching the ground and paying homage at his feet. He said, 'Venerable One, the Tathagata (one of the Buddha's titles) previously praised mindfulness of breathing (Anapanasati, mindfulness of breath) saying that through this cause and condition, great benefits can be obtained. How does one practice mindfulness of breathing? How does one restrain the eye, eye-consciousness, and their corresponding object of sight (Rupa, visual object)? How does one restrain the ear, ear-consciousness, and their corresponding object of sound (Sabda, auditory object)? How does one restrain the nose, nose-consciousness, and their corresponding object of smell (Gandha, olfactory object)? How does one restrain the tongue, tongue-consciousness, and their corresponding object of taste (Rasa, gustatory object)? How does one restrain the mind, mind-consciousness, and their corresponding object of thought (Dharma, mental object)? How does one restrain the various inverted perceptions (Viparyasa, distorted perceptions) and their corresponding inversions? How does one restrain the objects of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, along with their subtle smoothness? This thief of consciousness, like a monkey, jumps around, playing in the six sense organs (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind), and wandering through all dharmas (phenomena); how can it be restrained?' Then Sariputra said to Upasena, 'You should now contemplate the earth element (Prthivi-dhatu, one of the elements constituting the material world, representing solidity): the earth element has no inherent solidity. The water element (Apo-dhatu, one of the elements constituting the material world, representing fluidity): the nature of the water element does not abide. The wind element (Vayu-dhatu, one of the elements constituting the material world, representing movement): the nature of the wind element is unimpeded. From inverted thoughts arises the fire element (Tejo-dhatu, one of the elements constituting the material world, representing heat): the nature of the fire element is unreal. Form (Rupa, matter), feeling (Vedana, sensation), perception (Samjna, cognition), mental formations (Samskara, volition), and consciousness (Vijnana, awareness)—these five aggregates (Skandha, the five aggregates that constitute individual existence) arise from dependent origination; their nature is the same as water, fire, and wind, and all should enter into the state of suchness (Yathabhutam, the true state of things as they are).' At that time, upon hearing these words, Upasena's body was like water and fire merging, and he attained the four Dhyanas (Catur-dhyana, the four meditative absorptions), comprehending that the five aggregates are empty and without substance. He destroyed all the bonds of affliction, and his mind was suddenly liberated. He attained the state of Arhat (Arhat, a liberated being who has extinguished all defilements), and fire emanated from his body. He then shattered his body and entered Parinirvana (Parinirvana, complete Nirvana, cessation of rebirth). Then Sariputra collected his relics (Sarira, bodily remains) and built a stupa (a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics) over them. Afterwards, he paid homage to the Buddha and reported to him, 'World Honored One, the Buddha's teachings on Samadhi are the first nectar, the unsurpassed flavor of the Dharma. If one partakes of it, the body will become as clear as crystal, and one will even be able to see the Buddha through one's pores. Contemplating ignorance (Avidya, lack of knowledge of the true nature of reality), volitional formations (Samskara, karmic formations), and even old age and death (Jara-marana, aging and death), their nature is all unreal, like an echo in an empty valley, like a banana tree without substance, like a mirage in the hot season, like the running of wild horses, like a Gandharva city (Gandharva-nagara, a mirage), like a bubble on water, like a dream, like an illusion, like dew, like lightning. By carefully contemplating the twelve links of dependent origination (Dvadasanga-pratityasamutpada, the twelve links that constitute the cycle of rebirth), one can attain the path of a Pratyekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha, a solitary enlightened being who attains enlightenment without the aid of a teacher). Or one can enter into silent meditation, the crystal Samadhi, see countless Buddhas, generate the unsurpassed Bodhicitta, cultivate pure conduct, and abide in the state of non-retrogression.' The Buddha said to Sariputra, 'Just as Upasena heard me speak this great compassion'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 章句數息定法，能破除無數億的深重罪惡，成就阿羅漢（Arhat，斷盡煩惱，證得解脫的聖者）的果位，具足戒律、禪定、智慧、解脫和解脫知見。修習此法，能使身體出水火，甚至粉身碎骨而入滅，並能令無數人發起廣大的善心。舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著稱），你應該知道，如果善男子、善女人，能夠聽聞觀世音菩薩（Avalokitesvara，以慈悲著稱的菩薩）的大悲名號，以及消除、降伏毒害的六字章句，修習數息、繫念的清凈修行之法，就能消除無數劫以來所造的惡業，破除惡業的障礙，現世就能得見無量無邊的諸佛，聽聞他們宣說微妙的佛法，隨意自在，沒有阻礙，發起三種清凈的菩提心（Bodhicitta，追求覺悟的心）。如果有人宿世有罪業的因緣，以及現在所造的極重惡行，能在夢中得見觀世音菩薩，就像大猛風吹散厚重的雲層一樣，所有的罪業都會消散，得以脫離重罪惡業，轉生到諸佛面前。佛陀說完這些話后，告訴舍利弗，我現在爲了受持觀世音菩薩的名號，以及消除、降伏毒害的無上章句，說偈頌來讚歎。
『我命令提頭賴吒（Dhritarashtra，四大天王之一，持國天王）等，以慈悲心擁護受持此經的人，令聽聞大悲名號的人，如同天子般受到法臣的守護。 我命令海龍伊羅缽（Elapatra，龍王名），以慈悲心擁護受持此經的人，如同保護自己的眼睛，愛護自己的孩子一樣，晝夜六時都不遠離。 我命令閻婆羅剎子（Yama Rakshasa，夜叉名）以及無數的毒龍和龍女，以慈悲心擁護受持此經的人，如同愛護自己的頭頂，不敢觸碰。 我命令毗留勒迦王（Virudhaka，四大天王之一，增長天王），以慈悲心擁護受持此經的人，如同母親愛護自己的孩子一樣，永不厭倦，晝夜擁護他的行住坐臥。 我命令難陀（Nanda，龍王名）、跋難陀（Upananda，龍王名）、娑伽羅王（Sagara，龍王名）、優波陀（Upata，龍王名），以慈悲心擁護受持此經的人，恭敬供養，接足禮拜，如同諸天侍奉帝釋（Indra，天帝），也如同孝順的子女尊敬父母，猶如貧窮的人守護自己的財寶，如同盲人需要眼睛和正確的引導。 我命令一切諸鬼神、小龍、毒蛇、毒害的野獸，以及一切惡人、惡語傷人的人，如果違逆此咒語，生起不善之心，現世就會身生白癩，膿血流淌，死後墮入地獄，遭受長久的痛苦。 所以應該……』
【English Translation】 English version: The Sutra on the Fixed Method of Counting Breaths and Phrases. It destroys countless billions of profound evils, and accomplishes the state of an Arhat (one who has extinguished all afflictions and attained liberation), complete with precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation. By practicing this method, one's body can emit water and fire, and even shatter into pieces and enter Nirvana, enabling countless people to generate great virtuous minds. Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom), you should know that if a good man or good woman can hear the great compassionate name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva known for compassion), as well as the six-syllable phrases that eliminate and subdue poisons, and practice the pure conduct of counting breaths and focusing the mind, they can eliminate the evil karma created over countless kalpas, break through the obstacles of evil karma, and in this very life, see countless and boundless Buddhas, hear them expound the wonderful Dharma, freely and without hindrance, and generate the three pure Bodhicitta (the mind of seeking enlightenment). If someone has karmic connections of past sins, as well as extremely grave evil deeds committed in this life, and can see Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in a dream, just as a great fierce wind blows away heavy clouds, all their sins will dissipate, allowing them to escape grave sins and evil karma, and be reborn before the Buddhas. After the Buddha finished speaking these words, he told Sariputra, 'Now, for the sake of upholding the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the supreme phrases that eliminate and subdue poisons, I will speak a verse of praise.'
'I command Dhritarashtra (one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Guardian of the Nation) and others, to protect with compassion those who uphold this Sutra, so that those who hear the name of great compassion are protected like princes by legal ministers. I command the dragon Elapatra (name of a dragon king), to protect with compassion those who uphold this Sutra, as if protecting one's own eyes, cherishing one's own child, never leaving them day and night, six times a day. I command Yama Rakshasa (name of a Yaksha), and countless poisonous dragons and dragon daughters, to protect with compassion those who uphold this Sutra, as if cherishing the crown of their heads, daring not to touch it. I command Virudhaka (one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the King of Growth), to protect with compassion those who uphold this Sutra, as a mother loves her child, never tiring, protecting their every movement, whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. I command Nanda (name of a dragon king), Upananda (name of a dragon king), Sagara (name of a dragon king), Upata (name of a dragon king), to protect with compassion those who uphold this Sutra, respectfully making offerings, and bowing at their feet, just as the gods serve Indra (the Lord of the Gods), and as filial children respect their parents, like a poor person guarding their treasures, like a blind person needing eyes and correct guidance. I command all ghosts and spirits, small dragons, poisonous snakes, poisonous beasts, and all evil people, those who speak evil words, if they defy this mantra and give rise to unkind thoughts, in this very life, they will develop white leprosy, with pus and blood flowing, and after death, they will fall into hell, suffering long-lasting torment.

爾時世尊說此偈已。為受持觀世音菩薩名者擁護此經故。說灌頂吉祥陀羅尼而說咒曰。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 當以慈悲之心守護，受持、讀誦這灌頂真言。 地獄將會清凈如同蓮花一般，餓鬼道也將破碎，脫離八難。 往生后能在佛前進入三昧（Samadhi，禪定），必定能夠得到不退轉的境界。 普遍地給予一切眾生大安樂，教導眾生修習十地（Dasabhumika，菩薩修行的十個階段）。 我從過去無數的佛那裡，聽聞了這個消除毒害的咒語。 它可以消除三障（貪嗔癡），去除各種罪惡，使人五眼（肉眼、天眼、慧眼、法眼、佛眼）具足，最終成就菩提（Bodhi，覺悟）。 永遠與三界（欲界、色界、無色界）的眾生作為父母，給予他們安樂，使他們得到止息。 如果有人聽聞我的名號，也聽聞了大悲觀世音（Avalokiteshvara）的名號， 誦持這個咒語就能遠離各種罪惡，不會墮入地獄和畜生道。 將會在蓮花中化生，以蓮花為父母，心凈柔軟，沒有塵垢。 必定能夠聽聞無上的大智慧光明，心定如大地一般不可動搖。 一切佛出世，光明照耀如同日月。 身放發出大智慧的光芒，如同燃燒的紫金山。 從三十二相（Mahapurusa Laksana，佛的三十二種殊勝的相）中，流出八十種好（Anuvyanjana，佛的八十種隨形好）。 譬如須彌山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙觀中的聖山）一般，映照顯現在大海之上。 眾生聽聞佛的名號，永遠脫離三惡道（地獄、餓鬼、畜生）。 能夠安住于無為之處，常享安樂的大涅槃（Nirvana，寂滅）。 一切佛出世，是爲了安樂眾生。 不同的口發出各自的聲音，端坐在金剛座（Vajrasana，佛陀成道之處）。 口中發出五色光芒，舌頭如同蓮花葉的形狀。 讚歎大悲觀世音，是調御丈夫、人中獅子的佛法。 護世觀世音，必定能夠消除毒害。 清凈貪嗔癡三毒的根本，成就佛道無疑。 這時，世尊說完這個偈頌后，爲了擁護受持觀世音菩薩名號的人，說了灌頂吉祥陀羅尼，並說了咒語： 多侄咃（Tadyatha），烏耽毗詈（Udumbara，名住山外鬼），兜毗詈（Duvira，名住山窟鬼），耽𡌹（Damini，名爛目鬼），波羅耽𡌹（Para Damini，名食殘果鬼，住一切果樹下食殘），捺吒修捺吒（Nata Sunata，名好偷鬼），枳跋吒（Kivata，名殺魚鬼），牟那耶（Munaye，名出家鬼），三摩耶（Samaya，名三昧鬼），檀提（Dante）……
【English Translation】 English version With a compassionate heart, protect, uphold, recite, and receive the empowerment mantra. The hells will be purified like lotuses, and the realm of hungry ghosts will be shattered, free from the eight difficulties. After rebirth, one will enter Samadhi (meditative absorption) before the Buddha, and will certainly attain the state of non-retrogression. Universally bestow great bliss upon all beings, and teach them to cultivate the ten grounds (Dasabhumika, the ten stages of a Bodhisattva's practice). From countless Buddhas in the past, I have heard this mantra for subduing and eliminating poisons. It can eliminate the three obstacles (greed, hatred, and delusion), remove all evils, perfect the five eyes (physical eye, divine eye, wisdom eye, Dharma eye, and Buddha eye), and ultimately attain Bodhi (enlightenment). Forever acting as parents to beings in the three realms (desire realm, form realm, and formless realm), bestowing upon them peace and happiness, allowing them to find cessation. If anyone hears my name, and also hears the name of Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), reciting this mantra will keep them away from all evils, and they will not fall into the hells or the animal realm. They will be born from a lotus, with the lotus as their parents, their hearts pure and soft, without defilement. They will surely hear the supreme great wisdom light, their minds as stable and immovable as the earth. All Buddhas appear in the world, their light shining like the sun and moon. Their bodies emit the light of great wisdom, like a burning mountain of purple gold. From the thirty-two marks (Mahapurusa Laksana, the 32 auspicious marks of a Buddha), flow forth the eighty minor marks (Anuvyanjana, the 80 minor perfections of a Buddha). Like Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the sacred mountain in Buddhist cosmology), reflecting and appearing above the great ocean. Beings who hear the Buddha's name will forever be liberated from the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghost, and animal realms). They will be able to dwell in the state of non-action, and constantly enjoy the great Nirvana (liberation). All Buddhas appear in the world to bring peace and happiness to sentient beings. Different mouths emit their respective sounds, sitting upright on the Vajrasana (the diamond seat, the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment). From their mouths emanate five-colored light, their tongues shaped like lotus leaves. Praising the Great Compassionate One, the Dharma of the Tamer of Men, the Lion among Men. Avalokiteshvara, protector of the world, will surely eliminate poisons. Purifying the root of the three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion, there is no doubt of attaining Buddhahood. At that time, the World Honored One, having spoken this verse, for the sake of protecting those who uphold the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, spoke the empowerment auspicious Dharani, and recited the mantra: Tadyatha, Udumbara (name of a mountain-dwelling ghost), Duvira (name of a cave-dwelling ghost), Damini (name of a ghost with rotten eyes), Para Damini (name of a ghost that eats leftover fruit, dwelling under all fruit trees and eating leftovers), Nata Sunata (name of a ghost that likes to steal), Kivata (name of a ghost that kills fish), Munaye (name of a renunciate ghost), Samaya (name of a Samadhi ghost), Dante (Dante)...

The Buddha told Shariputra, 'Such a consecration Dharani verse is certainly auspicious. If anyone hears, receives, upholds, and recites it, they will break through the obstacles of evil karma and will never die an untimely death.' Shariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, such a divine mantra, a great auspicious verse, universally bestows upon all beings, making them fearless. From which Buddha in the past did the World Honored One hear this verse? May the World Honored One explain it in detail, so that beings in the future may universally hear and know it, obtain great peace and joy, and be free from untimely death, and not be harmed by knives, staves, poison, medicine, water, fire, thieves, or robbers.' The Buddha told Shariputra, 'From countless Buddhas in the past, I heard this verse, received, upheld, and recited it, and immediately transcended the sins of eighty million kalpas of birth and death. Moreover, I recall that eighty hundred thousand kalpas ago, there was a Buddha World Honored One named 'Victorious Over All Worlds' (a Buddha who surpasses all worlds), complete with the Ten Titles. That Buddha World Honored One expounded the above verse for me, and I immediately counted my breaths, keeping my mind from scattering. Suddenly, the sound dissolved and subdued the afflictions, and I obtained the forbearance of non-birth, dwelling in the Shurangama Samadhi. If good men or good women hear this sutra, receive, uphold, recite, write, and explain it, they will immediately transcend countless, numberless asamkhya kalpas of the sins of birth and death, subdue poisons and harms, and not encounter misfortune.' When the Buddha spoke these words, five hundred sons of elders obtained the forbearance of non-birth, and countless humans and devas aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.
