隋朝天竺三藏阇那崛多（Jnanagupta）等譯
如是我聞。一時，佛在舍衛城（Śrāvastī）祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana-anāthapindika-ārāma）。與一千二百五十位大比丘眾在一起。還有無量百千的菩薩眾。還有無量的天人眾等，包括大梵天王（Mahābrahmā）、帝釋天王（Śakra devānām Indra）、四大天王，即提頭賴吒天王（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）、毗婁勒叉天王（Virūḍhaka）、毗婁博叉天王（Virūpākṣa）、毗沙門天王（Vaiśravaṇa），以及以功德大天為首的八萬四千諸天眾，以那耶耶大將為首的八部鬼神大將，還有五百鬼子母（Hāritī）及其眷屬。如是等等無量的天人世眾左右圍繞。
爾時，從此佛剎經過百千億佛剎之外，東方有一個佛剎名為無邊華世界。那個世界中有一尊佛，名為最勝燈如來多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀（Ratna-śikhin tathāgata arhat samyak-saṃbuddha），現在逍遙說法。那位如來在那個世界派遣兩位菩薩來到這個娑婆世界（Sahā world），一位名叫大光菩薩，一位名叫甘露光菩薩，並說道：『你們兩位菩薩前往娑婆世界，那裡有一尊佛名為釋迦牟尼多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀（Śākyamuni tathāgata arhat samyak-saṃbuddha），爲了那位釋迦牟尼多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀，帶去這個陀羅尼章句，爲了諸位眾生的緣故，爲了安樂的緣故，爲了功德的緣故，爲了增益的緣故，爲了名聞的緣故，爲了生力的緣故，爲了隨心所欲的緣故，爲了享受安樂的緣故，爲了不擾亂的緣故，爲了不殺害眾生的緣故，爲了擁護的緣故。』而說咒語道：

【English Translation】 English version The Sutra of the Tathāgata King of the Most Excellent Lamp of the East, One Scroll
Translated by Jnanagupta (阇那崛多), a Tripitaka master from India during the Sui Dynasty, and others
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove (Jetavana) in Śrāvastī (舍衛城), in the Garden of Anāthapindika (祇樹給孤獨園), together with a gathering of twelve hundred and fifty great Bhikshus. There were also immeasurable hundreds of thousands of Bodhisattvas, and immeasurable hosts of Devas and humans, including Mahābrahmā (大梵天王), Śakra devānām Indra (帝釋天王), the Four Great Kings, namely Dhṛtarāṣṭra (提頭賴吒天王), Virūḍhaka (毗婁勒叉天王), Virūpākṣa (毗婁博叉天王), and Vaiśravaṇa (毗沙門天王), as well as eighty-four thousand Devas with the Great Deva of Merit as their leader, the eight classes of great Yaksha generals with Nayaya as their leader, and five hundred Hāritīs (鬼子母) with their retinues. Thus, immeasurable hosts of Devas, humans, and worldly beings surrounded him on all sides.
At that time, beyond hundreds of thousands of billions of Buddha-lands from this Buddha-land, in the east, there was a Buddha-land named the World of Boundless Flowers. In that world, there was a Buddha named Ratna-śikhin tathāgata arhat samyak-saṃbuddha (最勝燈如來多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀), who was now freely expounding the Dharma. That Tathāgata sent two Bodhisattvas to this Sahā world (娑婆世界). One was named Great Light Bodhisattva, and the other was named Ambrosia Light Bodhisattva, saying: 『You two Bodhisattvas, go to the Sahā world, where there is a Buddha named Śākyamuni tathāgata arhat samyak-saṃbuddha (釋迦牟尼多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀). For that Śākyamuni tathāgata arhat samyak-saṃbuddha, take this Dharani chapter and verse, for the sake of all sentient beings, for the sake of peace and happiness, for the sake of merit, for the sake of increase, for the sake of fame, for the sake of generating strength, for the sake of following one's own will, for the sake of receiving peace and happiness, for the sake of non-disturbance, for the sake of not killing sentient beings, and for the sake of protection.』 And then he spoke the mantra:
Duō (high tone) dié (dì yě fǎn) tuō, yōu
波[怡-臺+差]泥 睹[怡-臺+差]泥羅叉㝹瞿波多(上)曳波啰阇婆隸 阇(上)婆(上)隸阇婆隸 摩(上)訶阇婆隸 阇婆楞 伽帝阇婆隸 阇婆梨尼 摩訶阇婆梨尼 阇婆啰木企 娑利 摩娑 利阿迦(上)隸 摩迦(上)隸 阿(上)企(音溪)摩(上)企那(上)企娑(上)婆隸 摩訶娑婆隸 三婆離 郁句 目句 三摩帝 摩訶三摩帝帝三摩帝 摩訶三摩帝 摩訶阇婆隸娑曳 娑羅彌 目句奢 彌摩訶奢彌 三摩弟 摩訶三摩弟三目避 毗目避阿啰細 摩訶阿羅細 摩那(上)細 摩那細 摩那細 啼卑底 莎婆呵
爾時彼二菩薩受持此陀羅尼已。譬如壯士屈伸臂頃。如是如是菩薩沒身從彼無邊華世界。至舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園中。現時菩薩至釋迦牟尼多他阿迦度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀邊。到已頂禮佛足。圍繞三匝即住一面。住已彼菩薩白佛言世尊。去此佛剎過八千億佛剎。東方有一世界名無邊華。彼世界中有一佛。名最勝燈多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀。現在逍遙為他說法。彼婆伽婆最勝燈如來多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀。遣我等至此娑婆世界。彼最勝燈佛問訊世尊。少病少惱起居輕利氣力安不。復作是言。世尊無有擾亂徒眾。或比丘眾比丘尼眾。優婆塞眾優婆夷眾。或有人或非人。或天或龍
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 波[怡-臺+差]泥，睹[怡-臺+差]泥羅叉㝹瞿波多(上)曳波啰阇婆隸，阇(上)婆(上)隸阇婆隸，摩(上)訶阇婆隸，阇婆楞伽帝阇婆隸，阇婆梨尼，摩訶阇婆梨尼，阇婆啰木企，娑利，摩娑利阿迦(上)隸，摩迦(上)隸，阿(上)企(音溪)摩(上)企那(上)企娑(上)婆隸，摩訶娑婆隸，三婆離，郁句，目句，三摩帝，摩訶三摩帝帝三摩帝，摩訶三摩帝，摩訶阇婆隸娑曳，娑羅彌，目句奢彌摩訶奢彌，三摩弟，摩訶三摩弟三目避，毗目避阿啰細，摩訶阿羅細，摩那(上)細，摩那細，摩那細，啼卑底，莎婆呵。
爾時，彼二菩薩受持此陀羅尼后，譬如壯士屈伸手臂那樣迅速，就這樣，這兩位菩薩從那無邊華世界消失，來到了舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園中。當時，這兩位菩薩來到釋迦牟尼多他阿迦度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀（釋迦牟尼如來應供正遍知）面前，到達后頂禮佛足，繞佛三圈，然後站在一邊。站定后，那位菩薩對佛說：『世尊，從這個佛土向東經過八千億個佛土，有一個世界名叫無邊華。那個世界中有一尊佛，名叫最勝燈多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀（最勝燈如來應供正遍知），現在正在逍遙自在地為眾生說法。那位婆伽婆（世尊）最勝燈如來多他阿伽度阿羅呵三藐三佛陀（最勝燈如來應供正遍知）派遣我們來到這個娑婆世界，那位最勝燈佛問候世尊，祝願世尊少病少惱，起居安好，氣力康健。』又說道：『世尊，您的徒眾是否安寧？無論是比丘眾、比丘尼眾、優婆塞眾、優婆夷眾，還是人或非人，天或龍，是否都沒有擾亂？』

At that time, the two Bodhisattvas, having received and upheld this Dharani, were as swift as a strong man bending and stretching his arm. Thus, thus, the Bodhisattvas disappeared from that Boundless Flower World and arrived at the Jetavana Anathapindika Garden in Shravasti. At that time, the Bodhisattvas arrived at the side of Shakyamuni Tathagata Arhat Samyak-sambuddha (Shakyamuni Thus Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One). Having arrived, they prostrated at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and then stood to one side. Having stood, that Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, passing eight billion Buddha-lands to the east from this Buddha-land, there is a world called Boundless Flower. In that world, there is a Buddha named Supreme Lamp Tathagata Arhat Samyak-sambuddha (Supreme Lamp Thus Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One), who is now freely expounding the Dharma for beings. That Bhagavan (World Honored One) Supreme Lamp Tathagata Arhat Samyak-sambuddha (Supreme Lamp Thus Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One) sent us to this Saha world. That Supreme Lamp Buddha inquires after the World Honored One, wishing the World Honored One is free from illness and affliction, that your daily life is peaceful and easy, and that your strength is robust.' He further said: 'World Honored One, are your disciples at peace? Whether they are Bhikshu Sangha, Bhikshuni Sangha, Upasaka Sangha, Upasika Sangha, or humans or non-humans, devas or nagas, is there no disturbance?'
或夜叉羅剎。或大鬼將或鳩盤茶。或鳩盤神將或富單那。或毗舍阇或餓鬼或虛妄鬼。或蜈蚣或毒蛇。或蝮蝎或雜毒蟲等。或阿修羅羅睺羅伽。或娑乾陀鬼或痟渴鬼。或悶絕鬼或病鬼。或蠱道或死屍。或一日熱病二日三日四日熱病。或自餘種種所擾亂鬼病。不為擾亂也。而最勝燈如來遣我等。將此陀羅尼咒來。為諸眾生利益故為養育眾生故。為增長功德故增長威德故。增色故出名聞故。增力故隨意所受樂故。隨所受安樂故。不擾亂故為擁護故。而說前咒。
爾時世尊告長老阿難言。阿難汝受持此陀羅尼章句。受已為他解說宣通流佈。阿難佛出世難聞難值。此陀羅尼章句復甚難聞。若有善男子善女人。能受持此陀羅尼者。或讀或誦或為他說顯揚。彼人火不能燒刀仗不能傷。諸毒不能害縣官不能殺。梵天不恚。彼人七世恒知宿命。阿難此陀羅尼章句。過去七十七億諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此咒者。即時譭謗彼等諸佛。若有鬼神不敬重此咒者。或與我奪某甲威力者。或已咒奪不還者。彼鬼神頭破作七分。
爾時阿逸多菩薩。從座而起整衣服。偏袒右肩右膝著地。而白佛言世尊。我亦說陀羅尼章句。為眾生受利故。得增益故增功德故。增威力增色增名聞故。增力故隨行受樂故。隨所行受助樂故不擾亂故。不殺害故擁護
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 或者夜叉（Yaksha，一種鬼神）羅剎（Rakshasa，惡鬼）。或者大鬼將，或者鳩盤茶（Kumbhanda，守宮神），或者鳩盤神將，或者富單那（Putana，臭餓鬼）。或者毗舍阇（Pisacha，食人鬼）或者餓鬼，或者虛妄鬼。或者蜈蚣或者毒蛇。或者蝮蝎或者各種毒蟲等。或者阿修羅（Asura，非天）羅睺羅伽（Rahula，覆障）。或者娑乾陀鬼或者痟渴鬼。或者悶絕鬼或者病鬼。或者蠱道或者死屍。或者一日熱病二日三日四日熱病。或者由於其他種種所擾亂的鬼病，都不會被擾亂。因為最勝燈如來派遣我們，將此陀羅尼咒帶來，爲了眾生的利益，爲了養育眾生，爲了增長功德，增長威德，增加光彩，傳揚名聲，增加力量，隨意享受快樂，隨所享受的安樂，不被擾亂，爲了擁護，而說前面的咒語。
這時，世尊告訴長老阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）說：『阿難，你受持此陀羅尼章句，受持后為他人解說，宣揚流通。阿難，佛出世很難遇到，此陀羅尼章句更加難以聽聞。如果有善男子善女人，能夠受持此陀羅尼，或者讀，或者誦，或者為他人解說顯揚，那人火不能燒，刀劍不能傷，各種毒物不能傷害，官府不能殺害，梵天（Brahma，印度教的創造之神）不會嗔怒。那人七世都能知道自己的宿命。阿難，此陀羅尼章句，是過去七十七億諸佛所說。如果有人譭謗此咒，即時就是譭謗那些諸佛。如果有鬼神不敬重此咒，或者與我爭奪某甲的威力，或者已經用咒奪取了卻不歸還，那鬼神的頭就會破裂成七份。』
這時，阿逸多菩薩（Ajita Bodhisattva，彌勒菩薩的別名）從座位上站起來，整理衣服，袒露右肩，右膝著地，對佛說：『世尊，我也要說陀羅尼章句，爲了眾生受益，爲了得到增益，增加功德，增加威力，增加光彩，增加名聲，增加力量，隨順修行享受快樂，隨所修行得到助力和快樂，不被擾亂，不被殺害，爲了擁護。』
【English Translation】 English version: Or Yaksha (a type of spirit) Rakshasa (a demon). Or a great demon general, or Kumbhanda (a guardian deity), or a Kumbhanda general, or Putana (a foul-smelling hungry ghost). Or Pisacha (a flesh-eating ghost) or a hungry ghost, or a false ghost. Or a centipede or a poisonous snake. Or a viper or various poisonous insects, etc. Or Asura (a demigod) Rahula (an obstruction). Or Sakandha ghost or a thirst ghost. Or a fainting ghost or a sick ghost. Or witchcraft or a corpse. Or a one-day fever, two-day, three-day, four-day fever. Or ghost sicknesses disturbed by various other things, will not be disturbed. Because the Most Victorious Lamp Tathagata sent us to bring this Dharani mantra, for the benefit of sentient beings, for nurturing sentient beings, for increasing merit, increasing power, increasing radiance, spreading fame, increasing strength, freely enjoying happiness, enjoying the happiness received, not being disturbed, for protection, and speaks the preceding mantra.
At that time, the World Honored One told Elder Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): 'Ananda, you should uphold this Dharani chapter and verse, and after upholding it, explain it to others, propagate and circulate it. Ananda, it is difficult to encounter a Buddha appearing in the world, and this Dharani chapter and verse is even more difficult to hear. If there are good men and good women who can uphold this Dharani, whether they read it, recite it, or explain and proclaim it to others, that person will not be burned by fire, will not be harmed by swords, will not be harmed by various poisons, will not be killed by officials, and Brahma (the Hindu god of creation) will not be angry. That person will know their past lives for seven lifetimes. Ananda, this Dharani chapter and verse was spoken by seventy-seven billion Buddhas in the past. If someone slanders this mantra, they are immediately slandering those Buddhas. If there are ghosts and spirits who do not respect this mantra, or who contend with me for someone's power, or who have already taken it away with a mantra and do not return it, that ghost's head will be broken into seven pieces.'
At that time, Ajita Bodhisattva (another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva) arose from his seat, arranged his clothes, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I will also speak a Dharani chapter and verse, for the benefit of sentient beings, to gain increase, increase merit, increase power, increase radiance, increase fame, increase strength, to follow practice and enjoy happiness, to follow practice and receive assistance and happiness, not to be disturbed, not to be harmed, for protection.'
故。而說咒曰。

爾時佛告長老阿難言。汝受此陀羅尼章句。恒常受持讀誦。為他解說宣通流佈。阿難佛出於世難可值遇。聞此陀羅尼復倍甚難。若有善男子善女人。亦能受持此陀羅尼。受已能持讀誦。能為他人宣通解說。彼人能知未來十四世事。阿難此陀羅尼章句。過去八萬四千億諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此陀羅尼不信行者。彼人則為譭謗過去諸佛。是人則為背舍諸佛。若有眾類奪我某甲精氣。或奪已不還。是人亦得如是罪過。
爾時文殊師利童子。即從座起整衣服。偏袒右肩右膝著地而白佛言世尊。我亦說陀羅尼章句。為眾生利益故。安樂故增長功德故。增長威德故增長色故。增長名聞故增長力故。隨意受樂故隨行受安樂故。不擾亂故不殺害故守護故。而說咒曰。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 因此，宣說咒語如下：
多(上)绖他 頞帝(Adi)（最初的） 跋帝(Bhadri)（賢善的） 那(上)帝俱(上)那(上)帝(Nati Kuna Ti)（敬禮，彎腰）阿迦跋帝(Akabhadri)（虛空的賢善） 波啰毗跋帝(Parabhibhadri)（戰勝的賢善） 兜婁迷(Touloumi) 侯留留迷(Houruloumi) 安那迦細(Annakasi) 波(上)那(上)迦(上)細(Panakasi) 迦(上)細摩訶細迦(上)(Kasi Mahakasi)（偉大的光）阿㝹多(Anuta) 波(上)啰細毗(Parasibhi) 佉祇(Khagi) 摩訶佉祇(Mahakhagi)（偉大的虛空） 斯茶比(Styabhi) 多茶比(Tadhabi) 奚離(上)(Hili) 弭離(上)(Mili) 底離(上)(Tili) 尸離(上)(Sili)覆施摩訶覆施(Vrisi Maha Vrisi)（雨，偉大的雨） 覆覆施(Vri Vrisi) 覆奢跋帝(Vrisabhadri)（雨的賢善） 莎婆呵(Svaha)（成就）
這時，佛告訴長老阿難(Ananda)說：『你接受這個陀羅尼(Dharani)章句，恒常受持讀誦，為他人解說宣揚流通。阿難(Ananda)，佛出現在世上難以值遇，聽聞此陀羅尼(Dharani)更加困難。若有善男子善女人，也能受持此陀羅尼(Dharani)，受持后能讀誦，能為他人宣揚解說，這個人能知未來十四世的事情。阿難(Ananda)，此陀羅尼(Dharani)章句，是過去八萬四千億諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此陀羅尼(Dharani)，不信奉修行，這個人就是譭謗過去諸佛，這個人就是背棄捨離諸佛。若有眾生奪取我某甲的精氣，或者奪取后不歸還，這個人也得到這樣的罪過。』
這時，文殊師利(Manjusri)童子即從座位上站起，整理衣服，偏袒右肩，右膝著地，對佛說：『世尊，我也要說陀羅尼(Dharani)章句，爲了眾生的利益，爲了安樂，爲了增長功德，爲了增長威德，爲了增長色相，爲了增長名聞，爲了增長力量，爲了隨意享受快樂，爲了隨順修行享受安樂，爲了不擾亂，爲了不殺害，爲了守護，』因此宣說咒語如下：
多(上)绖他阿(上)嗘摩(上)嗘(Age Mage)（火焰）那佉啰細(Nakharasi)那祁尼(Nagini)（龍女）那伽薩隸(Nagasari)（龍的精華） 婆啰尼隸(Bharanili) 遮嗘隸(Cagili) 遮嗘啰跋帝(Cagilabhadri)（敏捷的賢善） 旃茶(Canda)（暴怒）
【English Translation】 English version: Therefore, the mantra is spoken as follows:
Tadyatha Adi Bhadri Nati Kuna Ti Akabhadri Parabhibhadri Touloumi Houruloumi Annakasi Panakasi Kasi Mahakasi Anuta Parasibhi Khagi Mahakhagi Styabhi Tadhabi Hili Mili Tili Sili Vrisi Maha Vrisi Vri Vrisi Vrisabhadri Svaha.
At that time, the Buddha told the elder Ananda: 'Receive this Dharani verses, constantly uphold, recite, explain, propagate, and circulate it for others. Ananda, it is difficult to encounter a Buddha appearing in the world, and it is even more difficult to hear this Dharani. If there are good men and good women who can also receive and uphold this Dharani, and after receiving it, can recite it, and can explain and propagate it for others, that person will be able to know the events of the next fourteen lifetimes. Ananda, these Dharani verses were spoken by eighty-four trillion Buddhas in the past. If someone slanders this Dharani and does not believe in practicing it, that person is slandering the Buddhas of the past. That person is abandoning and forsaking all the Buddhas. If there are beings who steal my, so-and-so's, essence and energy, or steal it and do not return it, that person will also receive such a transgression.'
At that time, Manjusri Bodhisattva immediately rose from his seat, arranged his clothes, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I will also speak Dharani verses for the benefit of sentient beings, for their peace and happiness, for increasing merit, for increasing majesty, for increasing beauty, for increasing fame, for increasing strength, for freely enjoying happiness, for following practice and enjoying peace and happiness, for non-disturbance, for non-harming, for protection.' Therefore, the mantra is spoken as follows:
Tadyatha Age Mage Nakharasi Nagini Nagasari Bharanili Cagili Cagilabhadri Canda.

At that time, the Buddha told the elder Ānanda: 'Ānanda, receive this dhāraṇī (a mnemonic device, incantation). Constantly uphold, recite, explain, and spread it for others. Ānanda, it is difficult for a Buddha to appear in the world, and it is even more difficult to hear this dhāraṇī. If someone can uphold this dhāraṇī, it is even more difficult. Ānanda, if there is a good man or good woman who can receive this dhāraṇī, and after receiving it, can uphold, recite, explain, and spread it for others, that person will know the events of the next seven lives. Ānanda, these verses of the dhāraṇī were spoken by ninety billion Buddhas in the past. If someone slanders this dhāraṇī and does not believe and practice it, that person is slandering those Buddhas of the past. That person is abandoning those Buddhas. If there are beings who steal the essence and energy of so-and-so (mǒu jiǎ) (a placeholder for a name) and do not return it, that person will also incur such offenses.'
At that time, Śākyamuni (the sage of the Shakya clan) Tathāgatā Arhat Samyak-saṃbuddha (the thus-come, worthy, completely enlightened one), told the bhikshus (monks): 'Bhikshus, I will now also speak the verses of the dhāraṇī, for the benefit of sentient beings, for their peace and happiness, for increasing merit, for increasing power and virtue, for increasing beauty, for increasing fame, for increasing strength, for freely enjoying happiness, for peacefully practicing, for non-disturbance, for non-harming, and for protection.' And then he spoke the mantra:

爾時佛告長老阿難。阿難汝受此陀羅尼。恒常受持讀誦。為他解說宣通流佈。阿難佛出世難。聞此陀羅尼復倍甚難。若有人能受持此陀羅尼。復倍為難。阿難若有善男子善女人。能受此陀羅尼。受已能持讀誦。能為他人宣通解說。彼人能知未來二十一世之事。阿難此陀羅尼章句。過去九十九億諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此陀羅尼不信行者。彼人則為譭謗彼過去諸佛。是人則為舍彼諸佛。若有眾類奪我某甲精氣。奪已不還。是人亦得如是罪過。阿難若有善男子善女人。受持此陀羅尼章句。假使取乾枯樹。結界守護作法誦咒。尚能令彼枯樹生枝柯華葉果。何況有識眾生受持此咒。而不差者無是處耶。歸命一切諸佛。愿我成就此咒莎波呵。
爾時世尊復告諸比丘言。諸比丘我今更說陀羅尼章句。為利益安樂增長功德。威勢色力名聞隨意安樂。不生惱害常守護故。而說咒曰。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 上滯 那滯俱那滯 頞那跋帝波那跋帝 阿迦細摩迦細迦細 迦娑迦細頗細 頗娑頗細 摩訶頗娑頗細 伊泥寐泥 多恀 多恀波多恀多婆多恀 莎婆訶
爾時，佛告訴長老阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）。阿難，你應受持此陀羅尼（dharani，總持、真言）。恒常受持讀誦，為他人解說宣通流佈。阿難，佛出世很難，聽聞此陀羅尼更是難上加難。若有人能受持此陀羅尼，更是難上加難。阿難，若有善男子、善女人，能受持此陀羅尼，受持后能讀誦，能為他人宣通解說，此人能知未來二十一世之事。阿難，此陀羅尼章句，過去九十九億諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此陀羅尼，不信奉行者，此人則為譭謗過去諸佛，此人則為捨棄諸佛。若有眾生奪取我某甲（指代受咒者）的精氣，奪取后不歸還，此人亦得如此罪過。阿難，若有善男子、善女人，受持此陀羅尼章句，假使取乾枯樹，結界守護，作法誦咒，尚且能令枯樹生出枝柯華葉果實，何況有識眾生受持此咒，而不得利益呢？沒有這樣的道理。歸命一切諸佛，愿我成就此咒，莎婆訶（svaha，愿成就）。
爾時，世尊又告訴諸比丘（bhikkhu，出家修行的男性佛教徒）說：諸比丘，我今再宣說陀羅尼章句，為利益安樂，增長功德，威勢色力，名聞隨意安樂，不生惱害，常守護故。而說咒曰：
多绖他 阿嘖婆嘖 吒 稽吒啰稽 吒嚧末底 睹嚧末底 兜隸睹羅兜隸婆隸 娑隸 睹隸度隸 度度隸
【English Translation】 English version: Utti Natthi Kunatthi Addha Nabatti Panabatti Akase Makase Kase Kasa Kase Pasi Pasa Pasi Maha Pasa Pasi Ine Mine Tati Tati Potati Tapotati Svaha
At that time, the Buddha told the elder Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha): 'Ananda, you should receive this dharani (a type of mantra or incantation). Constantly uphold, recite, explain, propagate, and spread it for others. Ananda, it is difficult for a Buddha to appear in the world, and it is even more difficult to hear this dharani. If someone can uphold this dharani, it is even more difficult. Ananda, if there is a good man or a good woman who can receive and uphold this dharani, and after receiving it, can recite it and explain it to others, that person will be able to know the events of the next twenty-one lifetimes. Ananda, these verses of the dharani were spoken by ninety-nine billion Buddhas in the past. If someone slanders this dharani and does not believe and practice it, that person is slandering those Buddhas of the past. That person is abandoning those Buddhas. If there are beings who steal the essence and energy of so-and-so (referring to the mantra recipient), and do not return it after stealing it, that person will also incur such offenses. Ananda, if there is a good man or a good woman who upholds these verses of the dharani, even if they take a dry tree, establish a boundary for protection, perform rituals, and recite the mantra, they can still cause that dry tree to grow branches, flowers, leaves, and fruits. How much more so for sentient beings who uphold this mantra, and not receive benefits? There is no such reason. Take refuge in all Buddhas, may I accomplish this mantra, svaha (may it be accomplished).'
At that time, the World Honored One further told the bhikkus (ordained male Buddhist monastics): 'Bhikkus, I will now further speak the verses of the dharani, for the sake of benefiting, bringing peace and happiness, increasing merit, power, majesty, appearance, strength, fame, freedom, peace and happiness, preventing harm, and constant protection.' And he spoke the mantra:
Tadyatha Ajja Vajje Ta Kite Rakite Taru Matti Turu Matti Ture Tura Ture Bale Sale Ture Ture Tudu Ture
蘇(上)隸 婆哂呬 婆哂利 嗘利 畢利 底利莎婆呵
爾時世尊告阿難言。阿難汝受持此陀羅尼章句。持已讀誦為他解說宣通流佈。阿難佛出世難。聞此陀羅尼復倍為難。若有誦此陀羅尼及以受持。復倍為難。阿難若有善男子善女人。受持此陀羅尼章句。受持已讀誦為他解說宣通。彼人得知二十八世之事。阿難此陀羅尼章句。過去恒河沙諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此咒。則是譭謗彼等諸佛。是人則為舍彼諸佛。若有眾類奪我某甲精氣。奪已不還。是人亦得如是罪過。若有咒師咒他人者。彼人所有咒咀言說皆不能傷害。將此咒欲守護他。彼人一切諸天不能傷害。一切諸龍不能傷害。一切夜叉乾闥婆阿修羅迦婁羅緊那羅摩睺羅伽不能傷害。一切羅剎不能傷害。一切縣官不能為害。一切劫賊不能為害。一切人一切非人不能為害。一切毒蛇毒蟲不能為害。一切蝮蝎不能為害。一切丁瘡一切冷熱瘧等亦不能害。一日二日三日四日一切諸瘧不能為害。若風作瘧陰所作瘧黃所作瘧亦不能害。若有上官逼切來者。或以枷鎖禁系逼切。或有疥病或癬病者。或有惡瘡出身或有反華瘡。或有濕癩或有舊痢更發。或有赤頭創不能為害。一切蠱道咒咀言說不能為害。一切起死屍不能為害。或諸天作者或諸龍作者。或夜叉作者或羅剎作者。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：蘇(上)隸 婆哂呬（光明） 婆哂利（光明） 嗘利（吉祥） 畢利（喜悅） 底利莎婆呵（成就）。
爾時，世尊告訴阿難說：『阿難，你應當受持此陀羅尼章句，受持後讀誦，為他人解說，宣揚流通。阿難，佛出世很難，聽聞此陀羅尼更加困難。若有人誦此陀羅尼以及受持，更是難上加難。阿難，若有善男子、善女人，受持此陀羅尼章句，受持後讀誦，為他人解說宣通，那人能得知二十八世的事情。阿難，此陀羅尼章句，是過去恒河沙數諸佛所說。若有人譭謗此咒，就是譭謗彼等諸佛，這人就是捨棄了彼等諸佛。若有眾生奪取我某甲的精氣，奪取后不歸還，這人也會得到同樣的罪過。若有咒師用咒語詛咒他人，那人所有的咒語都不能傷害到受持此陀羅尼的人。如果用此咒來守護他人，那人一切諸天不能傷害，一切諸龍不能傷害，一切夜叉（Yaksha，一種鬼神）乾闥婆（Gandharva，一種天神）阿修羅（Asura，一種惡神）迦樓羅（Garuda，一種大鵬金翅鳥）緊那羅（Kinnara，一種天神）摩睺羅伽（Mahoraga，一種大蟒神）不能傷害，一切羅剎（Rakshasa，一種惡鬼）不能傷害，一切縣官不能為害，一切劫賊不能為害，一切人、一切非人不能為害，一切毒蛇毒蟲不能為害，一切蝮蝎不能為害，一切丁瘡、一切冷熱瘧疾等也不能傷害，一日、二日、三日、四日一切諸瘧不能為害。若是風引起的瘧疾、陰氣引起的瘧疾、黃疸引起的瘧疾也不能傷害。若有上官逼迫，或用枷鎖禁錮逼迫，或有疥瘡病或癬病，或有惡瘡長在身上，或有反華瘡，或有濕癩，或有舊痢復發，或有赤頭瘡，都不能為害。一切蠱道咒語都不能為害，一切起尸都不能為害。或是諸天所為，或是諸龍所為，或是夜叉所為，或是羅剎所為。』
【English Translation】 English version: Su(above) li, po shen xi (brightness), po shen li (brightness), xi li (auspiciousness), bi li (joy), di li suo po he (accomplishment).
At that time, the World Honored One told Ananda: 'Ananda, you should uphold this Dharani chapter and verse. After upholding it, recite it, explain it to others, and propagate it widely. Ananda, it is difficult for a Buddha to appear in the world, and it is even more difficult to hear this Dharani. If someone recites this Dharani and upholds it, it is even more difficult. Ananda, if there is a good man or a good woman who upholds this Dharani chapter and verse, and after upholding it, recites it, explains it to others, and propagates it widely, that person will know the events of twenty-eight lifetimes. Ananda, this Dharani chapter and verse was spoken by Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the past. If someone slanders this mantra, they are slandering those Buddhas. That person is abandoning those Buddhas. If there are beings who steal the essence of so-and-so (a placeholder for a name), and do not return it after stealing it, that person will also receive the same offense. If there is a mantra master who curses others with mantras, all the curses of that person will not be able to harm the one who upholds this Dharani. If this mantra is used to protect others, that person will not be harmed by all the devas (devas, gods), all the nagas (nagas, dragons), all the yakshas (yakshas, spirits), gandharvas (gandharvas, celestial musicians), asuras (asuras, demons), garudas (garudas, mythical birds), kinnaras (kinnaras, celestial musicians), mahoragas (mahoragas, great serpents), all the rakshasas (rakshasas, demons), all the county officials cannot harm, all the robbers cannot harm, all humans and non-humans cannot harm, all poisonous snakes and insects cannot harm, all vipers and scorpions cannot harm, all boils, all cold and hot malaria, etc., cannot harm, all malaria of one day, two days, three days, four days cannot harm. If it is malaria caused by wind, malaria caused by yin, malaria caused by jaundice, it cannot harm. If there is an official who oppresses, or uses shackles to restrain and oppress, or if there is scabies or ringworm, or if there are malignant sores on the body, or if there are reversed sores, or if there is wet sores, or if there is a recurrence of old dysentery, or if there are red-headed sores, they cannot harm. All gu poison curses cannot harm, all corpses that rise cannot harm. Whether it is done by devas, or done by nagas, or done by yakshas, or done by rakshasas.'
或渴病佯病作者或佯癲作者。或宿作諸病不能為害。若患眼若患耳。若口唇患齒患舌。阿難我今略說一切所有苦逼者。唯除宿殃耳所造業受報。爾時世尊復告諸比丘言。我今復說陀羅尼章句。
那(上)嘖俱(上)那(上)嘖那(上)咩(音弭)波(上)啰(上)那(上)哆伽(上)細(平)波(上)啰(上)伽(上)細莎婆呵
過去諸佛阿羅呵三藐三佛陀。已說此陀羅尼章句。阿難若有人受持此陀羅尼讀誦。為他解說宣通不忘。彼人刀杖不傷。蠱毒一切諸病不能傷。彼不患頭病。一切人非人不作惡。若啖毒藥變成美食。
複次世尊說陀羅尼曰。

阿難若有人。讀誦此章句受持為他解說。彼人刀杖不能傷害。一切厄難中不縛不沒。此咒咒結線帶行。一切寒熱病不能傷。一切毒藥咒即得差。
複次阿難我更說陀羅尼章句。為諸眾生利益故安樂故增長功德故。增長威德故增長色故。增長名聞故增長力故。隨意受樂故隨行受安樂故。不擾亂故不殺害故守護故。而說咒曰。
多(上)绖他 阿(上)婆(上)易婆(上)邪毗伽帝 婆邪波利輸陀禰(音你)阿婆邪陀馱禰(音你)尼婁
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 或者因為口渴而裝病，或者裝瘋癲。或者過去所造的各種疾病不能造成傷害。如果患有眼病，或者患有耳病，或者口唇、牙齒、舌頭有疾病。阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一），我現在簡略地說，一切被痛苦逼迫的人，唯獨過去所造的惡業受報除外。當時，世尊又告訴各位比丘（bhiksu，出家修行的男性佛教徒）說：我現在再說陀羅尼（dharani，總持、真言）的章句。
那(上)嘖俱(上)那(上)嘖那(上)咩(音弭)波(上)啰(上)那(上)哆伽(上)細(平)波(上)啰(上)伽(上)細莎婆呵
過去諸佛阿羅呵（arhat，斷盡煩惱，證得解脫的聖者）三藐三佛陀（samyaksambuddha，正等覺者，圓滿覺悟的佛陀）。已經說了這個陀羅尼章句。阿難，如果有人受持這個陀羅尼，讀誦，為他人解說，宣揚流通而不忘記，這個人不會被刀杖所傷，蠱毒和一切疾病不能傷害他。他不會患頭痛病，一切人和非人不會作惡。如果吃了毒藥，也會變成美食。
再次，世尊說陀羅尼曰：
多(上)绖他吒(上)枳么吒(上)枳賀嚧嚧暮(上)嚧(上)嚧祁(上)唎寐底 啰寐 莎婆阿
阿難，如果有人讀誦這個章句，受持併爲他人解說，這個人不會被刀杖傷害，一切厄難中不會被捆綁或淹沒。用這個咒語加持過的結線帶在身上，一切寒熱病不能傷害。一切毒藥用這個咒語就能痊癒。
再次，阿難，我再說陀羅尼章句，爲了眾生的利益，爲了安樂，爲了增長功德，爲了增長威德，爲了增長色相，爲了增長名聞，爲了增長力量，爲了隨意享受快樂，爲了隨順修行而享受安樂，爲了不擾亂，爲了不殺害，爲了守護，而說這個咒語：
多(上)绖他 阿(上)婆(上)易婆(上)邪毗伽帝 婆邪波利輸陀禰(音你)阿婆邪陀馱禰(音你)尼婁
【English Translation】 English version: Or those who feign illness due to thirst, or those who feign madness. Or past karmic diseases cannot cause harm. If one suffers from eye disease, or ear disease, or diseases of the lips, teeth, or tongue. Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha), I will now briefly say that all those who are oppressed by suffering are excluded only from receiving the retribution of evil deeds committed in the past. At that time, the World Honored One again told the bhiksus (Buddhist monks): I will now speak again of the dharani (a type of mantra or incantation) verses.
Na(up) ze ju(up) na(up) ze na(up) mie(pronounce mi) bo(up) la(up) na(up) duo qie(up) xi(flat) bo(up) la(up) qie(up) xi suo po he
Past Buddhas, arhats (one who has attained Nirvana), samyaksambuddhas (a fully enlightened Buddha). Have already spoken this dharani verse. Ananda, if someone receives and upholds this dharani, recites it, explains it to others, propagates it without forgetting, that person will not be harmed by knives or staves, poisons and all diseases cannot harm him. He will not suffer from headaches, all humans and non-humans will not do evil. If he eats poison, it will turn into delicious food.
Again, the World Honored One spoke the dharani, saying:
Duo(up) die ta zha(up) zhi me zha(up) zhi he lu lu mu(up) lu(up) lu qi(up) li mei di la mei suo po he
Ananda, if someone recites this verse, receives and upholds it, and explains it to others, that person will not be harmed by knives or staves, and will not be bound or drowned in all calamities. If this mantra is chanted over a knotted thread or belt and worn, all cold and heat diseases cannot harm. All poisons can be cured immediately with this mantra.
Again, Ananda, I will speak more dharani verses, for the benefit of all beings, for peace and happiness, for increasing merit, for increasing majesty, for increasing beauty, for increasing fame, for increasing strength, for enjoying happiness at will, for enjoying peace and happiness by following practice, for not disturbing, for not killing, for protection, and speak this mantra:

Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha), this mantra is called pure, it is a Dharani that removes all obstacles. It is spoken by the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, and it displays the sentences of the truth of all dharmas. If someone can recite these sentences, they can eliminate all the spells of demons. I (so-and-so) use these sentences to protect (so-and-so), to create a boundary for (so-and-so), to support (so-and-so), to uphold (so-and-so), to nurture (so-and-so), and to use it to eliminate disasters. Remove all diseases, break all poisons, and remove wind diseases. If there are sores below the navel, heart pain, abdominal pain, back pain, lower body pain, waist pain, various joint pains, all pains in the calf, knee, hip, and thigh, or upper body pain such as headache, eye, and ear pain, teeth, tongue, lips, mouth, throat, neck, both ribs, shoulders, arms, hands, and all limbs, the mantra can stop and stabilize them all.

【English Translation】 English version: May all be eliminated and restored to their original state. May they be forever cut off, scattered without remainder, and completely extinguished. If there are any remnants, may they all be scattered. If they are not yet ripe, may they ripen and dissipate. If a swelling is about to erupt, may it immediately subside. And then recite this verse: 『The power of all Buddhas, the power of all Arhats, the majestic spiritual power of all Dharmas, I use this mantra to protect the sick, may they have good fortune in the middle of the night, may they have good fortune in the daytime, may they have good fortune at all times, may their entire family have good fortune, the Four Heavenly Kings (Caturlokapala) of the four directions, who protect the world, Visati Tula, Vilu and Boksha, and their retinues, with their supreme majestic spiritual power, bring auspiciousness here, protect the sick, the spirit of Vipasyin Buddha, the spiritual power of Sikhin Buddha, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, the protecting spirit of Visvabhu, the spirit of Krakucchanda, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, the protecting spirit of Kanakamuni, the protecting spirit of Kasyapa Buddha, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, the venerable Sakyamuni, all the spirits that protect, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, the Bodhisattva destined for one more life, all the spirits that protect, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, the protecting spirit of Akshobhya Buddha, and Vairocana, have compassion on all beings, may those spirits protect you, Tushapava Buddha, the spirit of Amitabha Buddha, may they protect your life, may you live to be a hundred years old.』 At that time, those two Bodhisattvas, messengers from the Most Excellent Lamp Buddha of the East, said to Sakyamuni Buddha: 『World Honored One, we also wish to recite a Dharani mantra now.』 『Ta(upper) die ta, you bi, lu lou bi, qi li (upper) mei li (upper) shou li na li mou qi fu, suo po he.』 The function of this mantra is as described above.

【English Translation】 English version: One should mindfully remember (the name of the Buddha or Bodhisattva, or scriptures) in fire. If one is in a river, sea, or great flood disaster, one should mindfully remember. If one is in a county government office, one should mindfully remember. In all disputes and lawsuits, one should mindfully remember. If those people encounter these calamities and sincerely remember, they will be able to overcome all calamities. These calamities cannot cause harm. If someone is poisoned, and the poison enters the body, it will turn into food and cannot cause harm. If someone recites this dharani (總持、真言) verse when the sun first rises each day, recites this dharani verse at noon, and recites this dharani verse when the sun sets, and can recite this dharani verse at all times, all the calamities of that person will be liberated. Ananda (佛陀的十大弟子之一), I will tell you briefly, if someone recites this dharani verse, accepts, upholds, recites, and explains it to others, it is impossible for that person to be in a state of terror. Whether in a government office, among robbers, being burned by fire, or drowned in water, various dragons, yakshas (一種守護神), rakshasas (惡鬼).

All terrors from humans and non-humans cannot subdue them. Ananda, if someone recites this dharani verse, they can save a criminal who should be executed from whipping, a criminal who should be whipped only needs to pay a small amount of money, a criminal who should pay money can avoid humiliation, a criminal who should be cursed can avoid scolding, and a criminal who should be scolded can be immediately liberated.

爾時世尊默然而許。天王見佛默然心內許可。即說陀羅尼章句。

世尊我等此陀羅尼。為護持此本心內辯說。世尊若有人受持此
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：能受到傷害。水不能淹沒，毒藥不能殺死，蠱術不能加害。阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一），我為你簡略地說，在天人世間，我沒有見到，或者在梵天（Brahma，印度教的創造之神）世界，或者在沙門（Śrāmaṇa，出家修道者）婆羅門（Brahmana，印度教祭司）等世界，或者在魔（Mara，佛教中的惡魔）修羅（Asura，古印度神話中的一種神）等世界，有以此陀羅尼（Dharani，總持、真言）章句作為守護者，如果作結界（Sima-bandha，劃定區域），如果作禳災，心生擾亂或者有恐怖的，沒有這樣的情況。為什麼呢？諸佛（Buddha，覺悟者）受持此陀羅尼的緣故，就能度過一切厄難。阿難，如果有人誦此陀羅尼，有樹木將要乾枯，為它持咒或者為它結界，那時那樹還能生出枝條、葉子、花朵、果實等，恢復如初。更何況是有意識的人而不能痊癒的呢？沒有這樣的情況啊。除非是宿世的災殃，承受業力果報。
這時，四大天王（Four Heavenly Kings，佛教的護法神）最後又從座位上站起來，整理衣服，袒露右肩，右膝著地，合掌向佛（Buddha，覺悟者）稟告說：『世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊稱），我現在也說陀羅尼章句。世尊，如果有人受持憶念，為他人解說宣揚，顯揚我等為那人守護的緣故，憐憫慈念，為那法師（Dharma Master，講經說法者）說陀羅尼章句，也為此法本護持的緣故，愿此法本長久住世，降伏一切諸魔，閉塞一切外道（Tirthika，佛教以外的宗教）。那些法師想要長壽、色力、辯才等無畏增長。世尊如果允許，我等就當宣說。』
這時，世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊稱）默然允許。天王（Deva King，天神之王）見佛默然，心中許可，即說陀羅尼章句：
『多(上)绖他多(上)多(上)滯陀(上)陀(上)滯避陀滯斫枳裴陀滯裴檀池摩訶檀池檀茶澗婆泥 吒知(上)吒吒泥 摩訶吒吒泥俱吒泥 俱吒泥摩訶俱吒泥瞻(時占反)摩隸[口*懺]摩隸摩[怡-臺+差]隸莎婆呵』
世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊稱），我等此陀羅尼，為護持此本，心中辯說。世尊，如果有人受持此
【English Translation】 English version: Can be harmed. Water cannot drown, poison cannot kill, and witchcraft cannot harm. Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha), I will briefly tell you, in the world of gods and humans, I have not seen, or in the world of Brahma (the Hindu god of creation), or in the world of Śrāmaṇas (wandering ascetics) and Brahmanas (Hindu priests), or in the world of Mara (the demon in Buddhism) and Asuras (a type of deity or demon in Hinduism), that someone using this Dharani (a type of mantra or incantation) verse as a protector, if creating a boundary (Sima-bandha, demarcation of territory), if performing exorcism, and experiencing mental disturbance or fear, such a thing does not exist. Why? Because the Buddhas (enlightened beings) uphold this Dharani, they can overcome all calamities. Ananda, if someone recites this Dharani, and there is a tree about to wither, chanting for it or creating a boundary for it, then that tree will grow branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc., and return to its original state. How much more so for a sentient person who cannot be healed? There is no such thing. Unless it is a past life's calamity, bearing the karmic retribution.
At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings (guardian deities in Buddhism), finally rose from their seats, arranged their robes, bared their right shoulders, knelt on their right knees, and with palms joined, addressed the Buddha (enlightened being) saying: 'Bhagavan (an epithet for the Buddha), I will now also speak a Dharani verse. Bhagavan, if someone upholds and remembers it, explains and proclaims it to others, revealing that we are protecting that person, out of compassion and loving-kindness, speaking the Dharani verse for that Dharma Master (teacher of Buddhist teachings), and also for the sake of protecting this Dharma text, may this Dharma text long endure in the world, subdue all demons, and block all heretics (Tirthika, non-Buddhist ascetics). Those Dharma Masters wish for longevity, physical strength, eloquence, and fearlessness to increase. Bhagavan, if you permit, we shall speak.'
At that time, the Bhagavan (an epithet for the Buddha) silently permitted. The Heavenly Kings (deities who rule over the heavens), seeing the Buddha's silence, understood his permission, and spoke the Dharani verse:
'Tad-yathā taṭhita taṭhita taṭhita taṭhita bhe taṭhita cakri bhe taṭhita bhe tandhi mahā tandhi tanda gambhani ṭaṭhi ṭaṭhaṇi mahā ṭaṭhaṇi kuṭaṇi kuṭaṇi mahā kuṭaṇi camale camale camale svāhā'
Bhagavan (an epithet for the Buddha), we, this Dharani, for the sake of protecting this text, speak from our hearts. Bhagavan, if someone upholds this
陀羅尼。誦以複誦或為解說者。悉無恐怖無處加害。一切眾類隨從彼人不能為障礙。攝護諸法故。爾時世尊嘆四天王言。汝等人輩善哉善哉。能為多人作大利益。能為多人作于安樂。能為多人守護天人。世內汝等護持正法。亦為彼等諸法師輩大作利益。擁護安樂增長正念。增長智慧增長辯才。汝等發心。
爾時世尊說此偈言。
於此陀羅尼 往昔諸佛說 我今現亦說 利益諸眾生 若有正信者 受持此章句 二十八世中 常得知宿命 若有正信者 聞此陀羅尼 在在處處中 得脫一切怖 有人非人等 夜叉鳩盤荼 富單那鬼等 不能為障礙 若誦此咒者 刀杖不能害 惡毒不能殺 大火不能燒 一切蠱道等 水淵不能溺 若誦此章句 惡魔若魔鬼 欲界天神等 不能為障礙 誦此陀羅尼 父母及兄弟 一切眷屬等 不見遠離別 讀誦此章句 一切事吉祥 百千億劫中 若造惡罪者 七日誦此咒 悉能消滅除 百千億劫中 諸菩薩造福 於七日內中 等分無有異 四大天王者 從四方來此 毗沙提頭賴 毗婁及博叉 並諸眷屬等 妙色大威德 以此咒威力 守護彼法師
爾時世尊告長老阿難言。阿
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 陀羅尼（Dharani，總持）。誦持此陀羅尼，無論是自己誦讀還是為他人解說，都不會有任何恐怖，不會在任何地方受到傷害。一切眾生都會跟隨此人，不會成為他的障礙，因為此陀羅尼能攝護諸法。 這時，世尊讚歎四大天王說：『你們這些人真好啊！真好啊！能為很多人帶來巨大的利益，能為很多人帶來安樂，能為很多人守護天人和世間。你們守護正法，也為那些法師們帶來巨大的利益，擁護他們，讓他們安樂，增長他們的正念，增長他們的智慧，增長他們的辯才。你們發心很好。』 這時，世尊說了這首偈語： 『對於這個陀羅尼，往昔的諸佛都曾說過，我現在也說，爲了利益一切眾生。 如果有人真正相信，受持這個章句，那麼在二十八世中，常常能知道自己的宿命。 如果有人真正相信，聽到這個陀羅尼，那麼在任何地方，都能脫離一切恐怖。 無論是人還是非人，夜叉（Yaksa，一種鬼神）、鳩盤荼（Kumbhanda，一種惡鬼），富單那鬼（Putana，一種臭餓鬼）等，都不能成為他的障礙。 如果誦持這個咒語，刀杖不能傷害他，惡毒不能殺死他，大火不能燒燬他，一切蠱道等邪術，水淵不能淹沒他。 如果誦持這個章句，惡魔、魔鬼，欲界天神等，都不能成為他的障礙。 誦持這個陀羅尼，父母、兄弟以及一切眷屬等，都不會遭受遠離別離的痛苦。 讀誦這個章句，一切事情都會吉祥如意。 如果在百千億劫中，造作了惡罪，那麼只要七天誦持這個咒語，就能全部消滅。 如果在百千億劫中，諸菩薩所造的福德，在七天之內誦持此咒，所獲得的功德相等，沒有差別。 四大天王從四方來到這裡，他們是毗沙門天王（Vaisravana），提頭賴吒天王（Dhritarashtra），毗樓勒叉天王（Virudhaka）和毗樓博叉天王（Virupaksa），以及他們的眷屬等，他們具有美妙的容色和巨大的威德，憑藉這個咒語的威力，守護那些法師。』 這時，世尊告訴長老阿難（Ananda）說：
【English Translation】 English version Dharani (Dharani, a mnemonic device). Reciting this Dharani, whether reciting it oneself or explaining it to others, there will be no fear, and no harm will come in any place. All beings will follow this person and will not become an obstacle to him, because this Dharani can gather and protect all dharmas. At that time, the World Honored One praised the Four Heavenly Kings, saying: 'You are very good! Very good! You can bring great benefits to many people, bring peace and happiness to many people, and protect gods, humans, and the world. You protect the Dharma and also bring great benefits to those Dharma masters, supporting them, giving them peace and happiness, increasing their right mindfulness, increasing their wisdom, and increasing their eloquence. Your aspiration is very good.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'Regarding this Dharani, the Buddhas of the past have all spoken of it, and I also speak of it now, for the benefit of all beings. If someone truly believes and upholds this chapter and verse, then in twenty-eight lifetimes, they will often know their past lives. If someone truly believes and hears this Dharani, then in any place, they can escape all fears. Whether it is a human or a non-human, a Yaksa (Yaksa, a type of ghost), a Kumbhanda (Kumbhanda, a type of evil ghost), a Putana ghost (Putana, a type of foul hungry ghost), etc., they cannot become an obstacle to him. If one recites this mantra, swords and staffs cannot harm him, poison cannot kill him, great fire cannot burn him, all evil spells, water and abyss cannot drown him. If one recites this chapter and verse, demons, devils, gods of the desire realm, etc., cannot become an obstacle to him. Reciting this Dharani, parents, brothers, and all relatives, etc., will not suffer the pain of separation. Reading and reciting this chapter and verse, everything will be auspicious. If one has committed evil deeds in hundreds of thousands of kalpas, then by reciting this mantra for seven days, all of them can be eliminated. If in hundreds of thousands of kalpas, the merits created by the Bodhisattvas, by reciting this mantra within seven days, the merits obtained are equal, without any difference. The Four Great Heavenly Kings come here from the four directions, they are Vaisravana (Vaisravana), Dhritarashtra (Dhritarashtra), Virudhaka (Virudhaka) and Virupaksa (Virupaksa), and their retinues, they have beautiful appearances and great power, and by the power of this mantra, they protect those Dharma masters.' At that time, the World Honored One said to Elder Ananda (Ananda):
難汝受持此陀羅尼法本章句。阿難此法本當作大利益。大有功能大有威力。阿難白佛言世尊。我以受持章句永不忘失。佛說此陀羅尼章句。時長老阿難。及彼一千二百五十比丘眾。及彼他方來二菩薩。帝釋天王大梵天王四天大王。並及大眾天人阿修羅乾闥婆摩睺羅伽等。聞佛所說歡喜奉行。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 佛陀告訴阿難：『阿難，你應當受持這部《陀羅尼法》的章節和語句。阿難，這部法本應當能帶來巨大的利益，具有強大的功能和威力。』阿難對佛說：『世尊，我將受持這些章節和語句，永遠不會忘記。』 佛陀宣說了這部《陀羅尼》的章節和語句。當時，長老阿難，以及那一千二百五十位比丘眾，還有從其他地方來的兩位菩薩，帝釋天王（Indra，天神之王），大梵天王（Mahabrahma，創造之神），四大天王（Four Heavenly Kings，佛教的護法神），以及大眾天人、阿修羅（Asura，非天）、乾闥婆（Gandharva，天上的樂神）、摩睺羅伽（Mahoraga，大蟒神）等，聽聞佛陀所說，都歡喜地信受奉行。

Ananda, this Dharma text should bring great benefits, and has great function and power.' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I will receive and uphold these chapters and sentences, and will never forget them.' The Buddha spoke the chapters and sentences of this Dharani. At that time, the Elder Ananda, and that assembly of one thousand two hundred and fifty Bhikshus, and two Bodhisattvas who came from other places, Indra (King of the Gods), Mahabrahma (Great Brahma, the creator god), the Four Heavenly Kings (the four guardian deities of Buddhism), and the great assembly of Devas, humans, Asuras (demigods), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Mahoragas (great serpent deities), and others, hearing what the Buddha said, all joyfully accepted and practiced it.
