They possess great miraculous power, fortune, and strength.  
They have all come with virtuous and devout intentions  
To take refuge in the perfect Buddha.”  
  
Gathered together with them,  
The powerful Great King,  
In service to the perfect Buddha’s teaching,  
And out of love for humans,  
Properly enacted this protection,  
Which turns away all yakṣas, bhūtas, pretas,  
Hostile grahas, and nonhumans.  
  
The king Vaiśravaṇa  
Then joined his palms and said:  
  
“You have transcended all resentment and fear,  
And you are fully liberated and free of defilements.  
Heroic Gautama, I have come,  
Paying devout respect to you.  
  
“All gods, siddhas,  
And brahmins pay homage to you.  
Six hundred and forty million yakṣas have also come;  
Circling from all sides,  
They amass with their palms joined.  
  
“I am King Vaiśravaṇa,  
The guardian of the north.  
I will repel all yakṣas, nakṣatras, unmādas,  
Apasmāras, kinnaras, skandas,  
And intense fevers up through²⁴ four-day fevers  
In the vicinity of the world protector.”  
  
Syād yathedam  
  
uhaham uhahaṃ mahāham uhamahāhaṃ salamuji ilīmili ilīmili kilīmili ciriṭi ubhi utubhi pitiliye maṭamali manandaye svāhā  
  
May the great king Vaiśravaṇa, Kubera, lord of Aḍakavatī, guard this direction.  
  
May he repel yakṣas, nakṣatras, unmādas, apasmāras, kinnaras, upward movers, wandering beings, covetous ones, evildoers, and those who steal vitality.  
  
Vāsava, the king of all gods, has come. I pay homage to him. He, too, pays homage to the Blessed One:  
  
“Heroic perfect Buddha,  
All seeing and all knowing—I bow to you.
