This is the blessed dhāraṇī called Anantamukhasādhakā.

“Manjuśrī, anyone in whose hand the maṇḍala of consecration in great gnosis is placed will be free from afflictions and free from peril. Even if they find themselves in the midst of thieves, in the midst of rākṣasas, in the midst of enemies, or in the midst of conflict, their bodies will not be pierced by weapons, they will not be killed by thieves and rākṣasas and the like will not harm them. They will have no fear of dying an untimely death, they will always have good fortune, and all their misdeeds will be purified. In a single day, they will come to possess the root of virtue equal to that accumulated by one hundred thousand one hundred million tens of millions of buddhas. When their time of death has come, the buddhas and bodhisattvas will care for them, and, after they die, they will be born in Sukhāvatī.

“Thus, it goes without saying that the obscurations of whoever upholds, recites, focuses upon, and maintains it without relenting will be purified. They will close the doors to the lower realms and they will be very far away from lower rebirths and the lower realms.

“Any person who recites it once
In the morning when they wake,
And who fears the next life,
Will be free from all the misdeeds they have committed.

“Rākṣasas and the like, thieves,
Weapons, and enemies will not strike them,
They will be liberated from untimely death,
And they will always have good fortune.
