I will repel all bhūtas, wandering beings,
Stealers of vitality, kumbhāṇḍas, pretas, and pūtanas
In the vicinity of the world protector.”

May the great king Virūḍhaka guard this direction.

May he repel all kumbhāṇḍas, pretas, pūtanas, bhūtas, wandering beings, and stealers of 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.
I bow to you, perfect hero.
I have come, paying devout respect.”

Then the king Virūpākṣa
Joined his palms and said:

“In this world of darkness,
You show the paths of the blessed ones.
Heroic Gautama, I have come,
Paying devout respect to you.

“You are like the sun and moon in all worlds,
Powerful like the heart of a jewel.²⁵
Sixty-four thousand nāgas, garuḍas, and guhyakas
Circle from all sides,
Amassing with their palms joined.

“I am King Virūpākṣa,
The guardian of the west.
I will repel all nāgas, garuḍas, guhyakas,
And the powerful asura lords
In the vicinity of the world protector.”
