七佛八菩薩所說大陀羅尼神呪經 3.22

3.22

「誦呪十四遍，羖䍽毛縷結作十四結，繫項。此大神呪乃是過去八恒河沙諸佛所說。我於過去從諸佛所得此陀羅尼句，不與諸龍同其事業，常遊諸國修菩薩行，面覩諸佛諮受教誨，愍念眾生佐佛化愚，常以正法攝持守護，於生死海拔濟令出，身為大船、口為法橋、心為大海，出慈悲水溉灌眾生枯槁福田，悉令生長菩提根芽。我所饒益其喻如是。若諸國王欲求所願，欲令其國豐實安樂，欲令無有他方怨賊，欲使國土無諸疫病、怨家讎對自然殄滅、眾官承法不復惱人，其王爾時於其國內熾然正法，率諸群臣以正法教，溫良恭儉孝養父母，慈悲憐愍孤窮眾生，躬自迴駕供養三寶，於三寶所不生疑悔，生父母師長想、朋友知識想，於身命財生不堅想，我及國土如幻如化，愍傷眾生如視赤子。若其國王能修是德，復能讀誦此陀羅尼，於月八日十四日十五日，淨潔洗浴著新淨衣，於正殿上若高樓上正東而坐，日未出時散三色華、三種名香，栴檀、沈水、熏陸香等，供養十方佛已。應當為我和修吉龍王敷置法座正南而坐，以青疊覆我座上，三種華、三種漿，蒲桃、石蜜、安石榴漿，燒黑沈水以待於我。其王爾時正東而坐，叉手合掌誦此陀羅尼二十一遍。誦呪已訖，其王即出，與諸群臣默然而坐。我和修吉龍王當與諸天龍神八部八萬四千到是王所，於虛空中默然而受其王供養。王於爾時若於夢中若惺悟心，得見我身如轉輪聖王七寶侍從。見已歡喜轉更精進，以精進故我及天龍八部鬼神便當勤心守其國土，求願與願不違其意。真誠如是。」

"Recite the spell fourteen times, tie black goat-hair thread into fourteen knots, and fasten them to the neck. This great dhāraṇī spell was spoken by past buddhas [as numerous as] the sands of eight Ganges Rivers. In the past, I obtained this dhāraṇī verse from those buddhas; I do not share the same deeds with other nāgas, but constantly roam the various lands practicing the bodhisattva deeds, seeing the buddhas face to face to seek and receive their instructions, pitying sentient beings to assist the buddhas in converting the foolish, constantly holding and protecting them with the true Dharma, and delivering and rescuing them from the ocean of birth and death: my body serves as a great boat, my mouth as a Dharma bridge, and my mind as a great ocean, pouring forth the water of loving-kindness and compassion to irrigate sentient beings' withered fields of merit, causing the roots and sprouts of awakening to grow in all of them. The benefits I provide are like this. If kings wish to seek what they desire, wish to make their lands prosperous and peaceful, wish to have no external enemies or bandits, wish to keep the country free from pestilence, have enemies and rivals naturally eradicated, and have officials abide by the law without troubling the people, that king at that time should brightly blaze the true Dharma within his realm, lead all his ministers to teach by the true Dharma, be gentle, good, respectful, frugal, filial to parents, compassionate and pitying toward the orphaned and poor, personally set out with his chariot to make offerings to the Three Jewels without giving rise to doubt or regret toward the Three Jewels, regard them as his parents and teachers, regard them as friends and acquaintances, contemplate his body, life, and wealth as impermanent, view himself and his realm as like an illusion and like a transformation, and pity sentient beings as if looking upon an infant. If that king can cultivate these virtues and further read and recite this dhāraṇī on the eighth, fourteenth, or fifteenth day of the month, having washed purely, put on new clean clothes, and sat facing due east upon the main throne room or high tower before sunrise, scattering three-colored flowers and three kinds of famous incense—sandalwood, agalloch, and frankincense—having made offerings to the buddhas of the ten directions, he should spread a Dharma seat for me, Vāsuki Nāgarāja, facing due south, cover my seat with blue-green fine cotton, and offer three kinds of flowers and three kinds of syrups—grape, rock sugar, and pomegranate syrup—burning black agalloch to await me. The king at that time should sit facing due east, clasp his hands, and recite this dhāraṇī twenty-one times. Having finished reciting the spell, the king should come forth and sit silently with his ministers. I, Vāsuki Nāgarāja, together with eighty-four thousand devas, nāgas, spirits, and the eight classes, will arrive at that king's place and accept the king's offerings in silence in the sky. At that time, whether in a dream or while awake in mind, the king will see my body like a wheel-turning sage king attended by the seven treasures. Seeing me, he will rejoice and become even more vigorous. Because of his vigor, I and the eight classes of devas, nāgas, ghosts, and spirits will diligently guard his country, granting whatever he seeks without contravening his intentions. This is truly and sincerely so."
