當時，金剛手菩薩摩訶薩（Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva，意為手持金剛杵的大菩薩）等一切菩薩，都在毗盧遮那佛（Vairocana Buddha，意為光明遍照佛）前，各自說了自己的心咒和手印。這時，曼殊室唎菩薩摩訶薩（Manjushri Bodhisattva Mahasattva，即文殊菩薩）從座位上站起來，對佛說：『世尊，我現在爲了利益未來的一切有情眾生，使他們迅速成就摩訶般若波羅蜜多（Mahaprajnaparamita，意為偉大的智慧到彼岸），如果有人才唸誦一遍這個真言，就如同唸誦了八萬四千十二部圍陀藏經。如果唸誦兩遍，文殊師利（Manjushri，即文殊菩薩）和普賢（Samantabhadra）菩薩就會隨侍在他左右，四眾弟子圍繞加持他，慈悲無畏的護法善神就在那人面前。』阿難（Ananda，佛陀十大弟子之一）問文殊師利說：『當說此真言時，有十萬億佛顯現。』像這樣的諸佛，每一尊佛的每一個毛孔都出現十萬億菩薩，每一位菩薩的每一個毛孔都各出現十萬億龍王，每一位龍王的每一個毛孔都各出現十萬億龍女，每一位龍女的每一個毛孔又出現十萬億青象，每一頭青象的每一個毛孔各出現十萬億白象，每一頭白象的每一個毛孔各出現十萬億香象，每一頭香象的每一個毛孔又出現十萬億山象，每一頭山象的每一個毛孔，又顯現十萬億寶院，每一座寶院又顯現十萬億八功德水池，那些水池由四寶合成，每一個寶池都發出十萬億閻浮檀金光，又在每一道金光中都顯現十萬億圓光，每一個圓光都化出十萬億天女，莊嚴地拿著種種供品。像這樣恒河沙數般的四眾弟子，一時共同聚集在法會上，同聲唸誦這個真言，顯現三摩地（Samadhi，意為禪定）三昧。'

The Sutra of the Supreme Transcendence of the Three Realms from the Vajra Peak, on the Auspicious Appearance of the Five-Syllable Mantra of Manjushri, One Volume
Translated by the Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple, holding the titles of Grand Master of the State, Grand Preceptor of the Three Departments, Acting Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, Duke Su of the State of Zheng, enjoying a fief of three thousand households, bestowed with purple robes, posthumously awarded the title of Minister of Works, with the posthumous name 'Dajian' and the honorary title 'Greatly Wise', under imperial decree.
At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the great being, Bodhisattva, who holds the vajra in his hand) and all the other Bodhisattvas, in the presence of Vairocana Buddha (the Buddha of pervasive light), each recited their own heart mantra and mudra. Thereupon, Manjushri Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the great being, Bodhisattva Manjushri) arose from his seat and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I now, for the sake of benefiting all sentient beings in the future, so that they may quickly attain Maha Prajna Paramita (the great perfection of wisdom), if a person recites this mantra even once, it is like reciting the eighty-four thousand twelve sections of the Vedas. If they recite it twice, Manjushri (the Bodhisattva of Wisdom) and Samantabhadra (the Bodhisattva of Universal Goodness) will follow them, and the fourfold assembly will surround and bless them. Compassionate and fearless Dharma-protecting deities will be before that person.' Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) asked Manjushri: 'When this mantra is recited, ten trillion Buddhas appear.' Like these Buddhas, from each pore of each Buddha emanate ten trillion Bodhisattvas, from each pore of each Bodhisattva emanate ten trillion Dragon Kings, from each pore of each Dragon King emanate ten trillion Dragon Maidens, from each pore of each Dragon Maiden emanate ten trillion blue elephants, from each pore of each blue elephant emanate ten trillion white elephants, from each pore of each white elephant emanate ten trillion fragrant elephants, from each pore of each fragrant elephant emanate ten trillion mountain elephants, from each pore of each mountain elephant appear ten trillion jeweled palaces, and from each jeweled palace appear ten trillion pools of water with eight qualities of merit. These pools are made of the four precious substances, and each pool emits ten trillion rays of Jambudvipa gold light. Moreover, within each ray of light appear ten trillion orbs of light, and each orb of light transforms into ten trillion celestial maidens, holding various offerings with reverence. Thus, countless as the sands of the Ganges River, the fourfold assembly gathers together at once, reciting this mantra in unison, manifesting Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness) threefold.'
昧。我今略說少耳。知其功德無量。即說五字真言曰。
阿啰跛左曩
若善男子善女人。有能持此真言。才誦一遍即入如來一切法平等。一切文字亦皆平等。速得成就摩訶般若。為諸弟子受此心真言時。令結密印。以二手金剛縛。並建忍愿屈上節如劍形。印上承華散壇供養。然應告言。此心法門一切如來秘密最勝。慎勿輕爾為愚人說。破汝三昧戒。善諦思惟。
阿者是無生義。
啰者清凈無染離塵垢義。
跛者亦無第一義諦諸法平等義。
左者諸法無有諸行義。
曩者諸法無有性相。說言文字皆不可得義。
以曩字無有性相故。左字無有諸行。以左字無諸行故。跛字無第一義諦。以跛字無第一義諦故。啰字無有塵垢。以啰字無有塵垢故。阿字法本不生義。善男子當觀是心本來清凈無所染著。離我我所分別之相。入此門者名三摩地。是真修習。當知是人如來印可。殊勝功德不可思議。若誦一遍能除行人一切苦難。若誦兩遍除滅億劫生死重罪。若誦三遍三昧現前。若誦四遍總持不忘。若誦五遍速成無上菩提。若能一心獨處閑靜。梵書五字輪壇。依法念誦滿一月已。曼殊菩薩即現其身。或於空中演說法要。是時行者得宿命智。辯才無礙神足自在。勝愿成就福智具足。速能
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 現在我簡略地說一點。要知道它的功德是無量的。即說五個字的真言，曰： 阿啰跛左曩 (Arapacana，文殊菩薩心咒) 如果善男子善女人，能夠持誦這個真言，才誦一遍就能進入如來一切法平等之境，一切文字也都是平等的。迅速成就摩訶般若（Mahaprajna，大智慧）。為諸弟子傳授這個心真言時，要讓他們結密印。用雙手結金剛縛印（Vajra-bandha mudra），並豎起忍愿指，彎曲上節如劍形。用印承接華散壇供養。然後應該告訴他們，這個心法門是一切如來最秘密最殊勝的，千萬不要輕易為愚人說，以免破壞你的三昧戒（Samaya，誓言）。好好地思惟。 阿（A）字是無生之義。 啰（Ra）字是清凈無染，遠離塵垢之義。 跛（Pa）字也是無第一義諦，諸法平等之義。 左（Ca）字是諸法沒有諸行之義。 曩（Na）字是諸法沒有自性相狀，說明文字皆不可得之義。 因為曩字沒有自性相狀，所以左字沒有諸行。因為左字沒有諸行，所以跛字沒有第一義諦。因為跛字沒有第一義諦，所以啰字沒有塵垢。因為啰字沒有塵垢，所以阿字是法本不生之義。善男子，應當觀想此心本來清凈，沒有染著，遠離我與我所的分別之相。進入此門者，名為三摩地（Samadhi，禪定）。這是真正的修行。應當知道這個人得到如來的印可，殊勝功德不可思議。如果誦一遍，能消除修行人的一切苦難。如果誦兩遍，能除滅億劫生死重罪。如果誦三遍，三昧現前。如果誦四遍，總持不忘。如果誦五遍，迅速成就無上菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，無上正等正覺）。如果能一心獨處閑靜之處，用梵文書寫五字輪壇，依法念誦滿一個月后，曼殊菩薩（Manjusri，文殊菩薩）就會顯現其身，或者在空中演說法要。這時修行人得到宿命智，辯才無礙，神足自在，殊勝願望成就，福德智慧具足，迅速能夠……
【English Translation】 English version: Now I will briefly say a little. Know that its merits are immeasurable. I will now speak the five-syllable mantra, which is: Arapacana (Manjusri Bodhisattva's heart mantra) If a good man or good woman is able to uphold this mantra, just reciting it once will enter the equality of all dharmas of the Tathagata (如來), and all letters are also equal. One will quickly attain Maha-prajna (大智慧). When transmitting this heart mantra to disciples, have them form the secret mudra. Use both hands to form the Vajra-bandha mudra (金剛縛印), and erect the forbearance and wish fingers, bending the upper joints like a sword shape. Use the mudra to receive flowers and scatter them as offerings on the altar. Then you should tell them that this heart dharma gate is the most secret and supreme of all Tathagatas, and be careful not to lightly speak it to foolish people, lest you break your Samaya (三昧戒) vow. Think about it carefully. The syllable A (阿) means unborn. The syllable Ra (啰) means pure, unblemished, and free from dust. The syllable Pa (跛) also means without the ultimate truth, and the equality of all dharmas. The syllable Ca (左) means that all dharmas have no actions. The syllable Na (曩) means that all dharmas have no inherent nature or characteristics, and that words are unobtainable. Because the syllable Na has no inherent nature or characteristics, the syllable Ca has no actions. Because the syllable Ca has no actions, the syllable Pa has no ultimate truth. Because the syllable Pa has no ultimate truth, the syllable Ra has no dust. Because the syllable Ra has no dust, the syllable A means that the dharma is fundamentally unborn. Good man, you should contemplate that this mind is originally pure, without defilement, and free from the distinctions of 'I' and 'mine'. Entering this gate is called Samadhi (三摩地). This is true practice. You should know that this person is approved by the Tathagata, and their supreme merits are inconceivable. If recited once, it can remove all the sufferings of the practitioner. If recited twice, it can eradicate the heavy sins of countless kalpas of birth and death. If recited three times, Samadhi will manifest. If recited four times, one will attain total retention and not forget. If recited five times, one will quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (無上菩提). If one can single-mindedly dwell in a quiet place, write the five-syllable wheel mandala in Sanskrit, and recite it according to the Dharma for a full month, Manjusri Bodhisattva (曼殊菩薩) will manifest his body, or expound the Dharma in the air. At this time, the practitioner will obtain knowledge of past lives, unimpeded eloquence, supernatural powers, and the fulfillment of supreme wishes, possessing both merit and wisdom, and will quickly be able to...
階證如來法身。但心信受。經十六生決成正覺。若力不辦建立壇場。香花供養及畫本尊。以用香泥塗舍利塔。梵寫五字真言。旋繞唸誦五十萬遍。文殊菩薩現其人前而為說法。當得宿命辯才。一切如來諸菩薩等。及執金剛恒沙聖眾。常加護念速滿諸愿。疾證菩提。廣如金剛頂經說。
金剛頂超勝三界經說文殊五字真言勝相一卷
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 爲了證明如來的法身，只要內心相信並接受，經過十六次轉生必定成就正覺（Samyak-saṃbuddha，正等覺）。如果能力不足以建立壇場，用香花供養以及繪製本尊（Iṣṭa-deva，個人崇拜的神祇）像，可以用香泥塗抹舍利塔（Śarīra，佛陀或聖人的遺物），用梵文書寫五字真言（Pañcākṣarī，五字咒），旋轉念誦五十萬遍，文殊菩薩（Mañjuśrī，智慧的菩薩）就會顯現在這個人面前併爲他說法。當獲得宿命的智慧和辯才，一切如來（Tathāgata，佛陀的稱號）、諸菩薩（Bodhisattva，追求覺悟的聖者）等，以及手持金剛杵的恒河沙數聖眾，常常加以護念，迅速滿足各種願望，快速證得菩提（Bodhi，覺悟）。詳細內容如《金剛頂經》（Vajraśekhara Sūtra）所說。
《金剛頂超勝三界經》講述了文殊五字真言殊勝功德的一卷。
【English Translation】 English version: To attest to the Dharmakāya (Dharmakāya, the body of the Dharma) of the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), simply believe and accept it in your heart, and after sixteen rebirths, you will surely attain Samyak-saṃbuddha (Samyak-saṃbuddha, Perfect Enlightenment). If you lack the ability to establish a mandala (Maṇḍala, a symbolic diagram), offer fragrant flowers and draw the image of your Iṣṭa-deva (Iṣṭa-deva, chosen deity), you can use fragrant mud to coat the Stupa (Śarīra, relics) containing Śarīra (Śarīra, relics of the Buddha or saints), write the five-syllable mantra (Pañcākṣarī, five-syllable mantra) in Sanskrit, and circumambulate while reciting it five hundred thousand times. Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva (Mañjuśrī, the Bodhisattva of wisdom) will appear before that person and expound the Dharma. You will then obtain wisdom and eloquence regarding past lives. All Tathāgatas (Tathāgata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, an enlightened being) and other beings, as well as the countless holy beings holding Vajras (Vajra, a ritual weapon symbolizing indestructibility) like the sands of the Ganges River, will constantly protect and support you, quickly fulfilling all your wishes and swiftly attaining Bodhi (Bodhi, enlightenment). This is explained in detail in the Vajraśekhara Sūtra (Vajraśekhara Sūtra, Diamond Peak Sutra).
The Vajraśekhara-atisamvara-trailokya Sūtra speaks of one fascicle on the superior aspects of the Mañjuśrī five-syllable mantra.
