Are his illnesses and ailments few? Is he fit, nourished, strong, happy, free of annoyances, and therefore comfortable? “He also asks if you are free from any and all of the harms in this world caused by humans, nonhumans, bhūtas, piśācas, yakṣas, rākṣasas, kumbhāṇḍas, the commander of the kumbhāṇḍa armies, kings, high-ranking ministers, thieves, snakes, insects, spiders,⁹ small biting insects,¹⁰ and other afflictions. “For the benefit, welfare, and happiness of all beings, to provide them with vitality, charisma, glory, good qualities, strength, and beauty, and to protect, guard, and preserve them, the blessed, thus-gone, worthy, fully and perfectly awakened Buddha Agrapradīpa offers this dhāraṇī-mantra formula: jvāle¹¹ jvāle jvāle gate hukku mukku sammate mahāsammate mahājvāle jvāvala me sahe sahe mahājvāle ukke mukke śame sammahe mahāsammate mahāśame svāha.”¹² The Blessed One then addressed the venerable Ānanda: “Ānanda, remember this mantra formula. Receive it, retain it, recite it, and master it. Teach it to others extensively. Ānanda, the appearance of a buddha is rare, and this dhāraṇī-mantra formula is hard to find. Ānanda, one who upholds this dhāraṇī-mantra formula is also exceedingly hard to find. - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo~en-84000.1) - [Next: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo~en-84000.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo~en-mt.2) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་རིག་སྔགས་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་སྒྲོན་མ་མཆོག་གི་གཟུངས](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo.2) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo~en-84000.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.agrapradipadharani*bo~en-84000.2) · Pramāṇa
