七佛八菩薩所說大陀羅尼神呪經 2.35

2.35

「誦呪五遍，七色縷結作三結，痛處繫。此大神呪乃是過去四十恒河沙諸佛所說。我於過去從諸佛所得聞說此大神呪力，從是已來經七百劫住閻浮提為大國師，領四天下眾星中王，得最自在，四天下中一切國事我悉當之。若諸人王不以正法任用臣下，心無慚愧暴虛濁亂，縱諸群臣酷虐百姓，我能退之，徵召賢能代其王位。若能慚愧改惡修善，若能任善退諸惡人，其心弘廣普慈一切，容受拯濟猶如橋船，包含民物猶如父母，國有賢能當徵召之，敬賢尊聖如視父母，王自躬身臨朝斷事，不枉民物猶如明鏡。若其國王能修是德，改往修來悔先作罪，慚愧自責鄙悼愆咎。自悔責已當修三德：一者恭敬三尊；二者憐愍貧窮國有孤老當撫恤之；三者於怨親中心常平等，斷理怨枉不枉民物。若能修行上來諸德，我時當率諸大天王、諸天帝釋、伺命都尉、天曹都尉，除死定生減罪增福益算延壽，白諸天曹差諸善神一千七百，邏衛國界守護國土，除其災患滅其姦惡，風雨順時穀米豐熟，疫氣消除無諸強敵，人民安樂稱王之德。是王若能兼行讀誦此陀羅尼，譬如轉輪聖王得如意寶珠，是珠神氣消伏災禍。我今以此大神呪力，上來諸德悉能辦之，滅消災惡亦復如是。當知是此大神呪力如王明珠亦復如是。」

“Recite the spell five times, tie threads of seven colors into three knots, and bind it to the painful place. This great dhāraṇī spell was spoken by past buddhas [as numerous as] the sands of forty Ganges Rivers. In the past, I heard this great dhāraṇī spell and its power from those buddhas. Ever since then, across seven hundred kalpas, I have dwelt in Jambudvīpa as a Great State Preceptor, commanding the kings among all stars across the four continents, having attained the utmost sovereignty; all affairs of state throughout the four continents are taken up by me. If human kings do not employ their ministers according to the correct Dharma, are shameless in heart, violent, hollow, turbid, and disordered, indulging their various ministers to treat the common people with cruelty and tyranny, I can depose them, summoning the worthy and capable to replace their royal throne. If they can feel shame, reform evil, cultivate goodness, employ the good, and dismiss evil persons; if their minds are broad and universally compassionate toward all, accepting and rescuing like a bridge or a boat, embracing the people and things like a father and mother; if there are worthy and capable ones in the realm, they should summon them, revering the worthy and honoring the noble as if seeing their own parents; if the king personally attends court to judge affairs, not wronging the people and things, like a clear mirror—if that king can cultivate these virtues, reform past conduct, cultivate the future, repent of sins previously committed, and feel ashamed, reproaching himself and grieving over faults and blunders; having repented and reproached himself, he must cultivate the three virtues: first, revere the Three Honored Ones; second, pity the poor, caring for and consoling orphans and the elderly in the realm; third, keep an impartial mind between enemies and kin, adjudicating grievances and wrongs without injustice to the people and things. If he can practice the virtues above, I shall then lead the great heavenly kings, the devas, Śakra, the Commissioners of Destiny, and the Commissioners of the Heavenly Offices to eradicate death and determine life, diminish sin and increase merit, and add to his tally of years to prolong life. I shall announce to the Heavenly Offices to dispatch one thousand seven hundred good spirits to patrol and guard the borders of his state and protect the realm, eradicating its calamities and misfortunes, extinguishing its treachery and evil, making wind and rain seasonal, grain abundant, pestilence dispelled, and free from mighty enemies, with the people peaceful and joyous, praising the king's virtue. If this king can additionally recite this dhāraṇī, he will be like a wheel-turning sage king obtaining a wish-fulfilling jewel; the spiritual aura of this jewel dispels and subdues calamities and disasters. Now, by the power of this great dhāraṇī spell, all the virtues above can be accomplished, and the extinguishing and dispelling of calamities and evils is likewise so. Know that the power of this great dhāraṇī spell is just like the king's bright jewel.”
