King of the gods, with the unsurpassed Dhāraṇī of Dhvajāgrakeyūrā, whether in war, in fights, in quarrels, in disagreements, or wherever you go, you will never be afraid and will always be victorious. If it is tied atop a standard or worn around the neck, kings of humans and courageous ones will be protected. The dhāraṇī will take the appearance of a woman who will stand in front of them. She will eliminate their fears and protect them; she will produce excellent circumstances, make opposing armies retreat; and she will constantly bring about auspiciousness, purity, good reputation, prosperity, and abundance.”

After the Blessed One had spoken, Śakra, lord of the gods, and the bhikṣus and bodhisattvas¹⁴ rejoiced and praised the words of the Blessed One.
