intro.2

The Dhāraṇī of Dhvajāgrakeyūrā takes place in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, where Śakra requests help from the Buddha after the gods have been defeated by the asura king Vemacitri. The Buddha tells Śakra to retain the dhāraṇī known as The Dhāraṇī of Dhvajāgrakeyūrā, which he received from the Tathāgata Unsurpassed Standard in a previous life. The Buddha transmits the dhāraṇī and explains that those who recite it and retain it become victorious in battles and conflicts, and that those who attach it to the top of standards or tie it around their neck will be protected by the buddhas. He explains that the dhāraṇī will also manifest in the form of a female deity who will always be in front of them eliminating fear, affording protection, and granting all positive things such as good reputation and abundance.
