In the language of India: Āryamārīcīnāmadhāraṇī. In the language of Tibet: 'phags ma 'od zer can zhes bya ba'i gzungs (The Noble Dhāraṇī of Mārīcī). Homage to all Buddhas and bodhisattvas! Thus have I heard at one time: The Blessed One was staying in Śrāvastī at the Jetavana, the park of Anāthapiṇḍada, together with a great saṅgha of twelve hundred and fifty monks, and many bodhisattva mahāsattvas. Then the Blessed One addressed the monks: "Monks, there is a goddess named Mārīcī. She goes in front of the sun and the moon. She cannot be seen, cannot be caught, cannot be bound, cannot be obstructed, cannot be overcome, cannot be deluded, cannot be punished, cannot be beheaded, cannot be struck, cannot be burned, and does not fall under the power of an enemy. Monks, whoever also knows the name of that goddess Mārīcī likewise cannot be seen, cannot be caught, cannot be bound, cannot be obstructed, cannot be overcome, cannot be deluded, cannot be punished, cannot be beheaded, cannot be struck, cannot be burned, and will not fall under the power of an enemy. In that way, since I also know the name of the goddess Mārīcī, may I also not be seen! May I not be caught! May I not be bound! May I not be obstructed! May I not be overcome! May I not be deluded! May I not be punished! May I not be beheaded! May I not be struck! May I not be burned! May I not fall under the power of an enemy! Here are the words of the secret mantra: tadyathā / oṃ patākramasi / parākramasi / udayamasi / nairamasi / arkamasi / markamasi / urmamasi / vanamasi / gulmamasi / cīvaramasi / mahācīvaramasi

antardhānamasi svāhā / Oṃ, goddess Mārīcī, protect me on the path! Protect me from wrong paths! Protect me from the fear of men! Protect me from the fear of kings! Protect me from the fear of elephants! Protect me from the fear of bandits! Protect me from the fear of nāgas! Protect me from the fear of lions! Protect me from the fear of tigers! Protect me from the fear of fire! Protect me from the fear of water! Protect me from the fear of snakes! Protect me from the fear of poison! Protect me from all opponents and enemies! In turmoil and without turmoil, in decline and without decline, guard me in all circumstances from lions! Guard me from tigers! Guard me from nāgas! Guard me from snakes svāhā! Guard me, guard me from all fears, harm, contagious diseases, and all turmoil! namo ratnatrayāya / tadyathā / oṃ ālo / tālokālo / sacchalo samapamūrdhiṭi rakṣa rakṣa māṃ / Guard me and all sentient beings from injury, fear, and all diseases svāhā! Homage to the Three Jewels! The essence of the goddess Mārīcī is spoken: tadyathā / oṃ battāli / badāli / varāli / varāhamukhi / sarvaduṣṭā / praduṣṭānāṃ / cakṣurmukhaṃ bandha bandha / bandha / mukhaṃ / jambhaya / stambhaya / mohaya svāhā / oṃ mārīcyai svāhā / oṃ varāli / badāli / battāli / varāhamukhi / sarvaduṣṭānāṃ / praduṣṭānāṃ / cakṣurmukhaṃ bandha bandha svāhā / When the Blessed One had spoken these words, those monks, those bodhisattvas, that entire assembly, and the world with its gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas
