-raṇī-sarvagati-pariśodhanī. In the language of Tibet: 'phags pa ye shes ta la la zhes bya ba'i gzungs 'gro ba thams cad yongs su sbyong ba (The Noble Dhāraṇī Called "The Torch of Wisdom" that Purifies All Destinies). Homage to the Omniscient One! Homage to all buddhas and bodhisattvas! Homage to the Blessed One, the Tathāgata Jñānolka! Homage to the Tathāgata Suvarṇaprabhāsa-kūṭa-prabhāsa! Homage to the Tathāgata Satyavādin! Homage to the Tathāgata Bhairavaghoṣarāja! Then, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrīkumārabhūta, the Bodhisattva Dhāraṇīśvararāja, and the Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi—these four bodhisattvas and those tathāgatas were dwelling in the mansions of the moon and the sun. Then, the two devaputras, the Moon and the Sun, went to where those tathāgatas were dwelling and to where those bodhisattvas were. Having gone there, they saw the tathāgatas seated upon jeweled lion thrones, and they also saw those bodhisattvas seated within pavilions crowned with victory banners of rose-apple. Then the two devaputras, the Moon and the Sun, thought to each other: "How might we receive from these tathāgatas and these bodhisattvas the dhāraṇī-mantra that has risen to bestow light on all sentient beings and dispel darkness and obscurity, called 'Endowed with the Mind Pervading the Ten Directions', by whose power we may illuminate all sentient beings?" Then, those tathāgatas and those bodhisattvas knew in their minds the thoughts of those devaputras, the Moon and the Sun. At that time, those tathāgatas,

together with the bodhisattvas, uttered this dhāraṇī-mantra: syādyathedan / cakṣuradada / cakṣuśśubhadhūlamethākalattha / itthan / sūraṭṭasūraṭṭa / sutthāya / itthan / velāvelā / pāṇicarumūrtini / āraṇi / āraṇi / kālapāṇi / kālapāṇi / duruduru / situruduhasi / dhasutidhasuti / dhiridhiri / dhuradhura / dhurudhuru / kālakāla / satthāsa / gīlagīla / gīlapaya / gīlapaya / dhusudhasu / sundhusundhu / satthāsu / atthāsu / ethāsu / ethāsāvāni / yucuridhe / sudhare / karakara / kirikiri / kurukuru / kurmakurma / kurmapāṇikurmapāṇi / kelukelu / kelapāṇikelapāṇi / karkārikarkāri / larubuddhe / dhurudhedhurudhe / mahādhurudhe / karakara / kirakira / pihusi / pihusi / dhasudhasu / hasuhasu / hasupanisvālā. Then the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra said this to the two devaputras, the Moon and the Sun: "O sons of noble family, this dhāraṇī-mantra was spoken by eighty-four million buddhas to benefit sentient beings who fall into unfortunate destinies. Sons of noble family, an udumbara flower is far easier to find, but the appearance of the words of this dhāraṇī-mantra in the world is not so. Sons of noble family, the words of this dhāraṇī-mantra are far easier to find, but bearing them or reciting them is not so. Sons of noble family, the appearance of a buddha is far easier to find, but the appearance of the words of this dhāraṇī-mantra in the world is not so. Sons of noble family, if for the sake of those sentient beings who dwell in Avīci and remain there for an eon, who have committed the five deeds of immediate retribution, and who abandon the sublime Dharma, one recites the words of this dhāraṇī-mantra three times by day and three times by night for twenty-one days, then by the power of the words of this dhāraṇī-mantra, the great hell of Avīci will split into a hundred pieces and those sentient beings will also be completely liberated—to say nothing of the humans of Jambudvīpa! Those in whose ears it resounds should know with certainty: 'We are held in care by the four tathāgatas, the four bodhisattvas, and the Moon and Sun.'"
