七佛八菩薩所說大陀羅尼神呪經 3.4

3.4

「誦呪五遍，縷一色青結作十二結，繫兩手。此大神呪乃是過去七恒河沙諸佛所說。又我過去從諸佛所得聞說此大神呪名，從是已來神通自在，遍領三千大千世界，一切鬼王皆悉屬我，我有神力悉能摧伏。我今說此陀羅尼呪，如王解髻明珠與人。譬如強力轉輪聖王，威勢自在無有前敵，未摧伏者力能摧伏，已調伏者增加守護，所須之物令無所乏。時轉輪王威伏百姓，復能養育增加守護，猶如慈父等無有異。我今大摩醯首羅天王，神力自在亦復如是；典領三千大千世界鬼神諸王，養育守護亦復如是；摧伏外道及諸邪見，悉令靡伏安住正法；復以神通遊騰十方，遊諸佛國佐佛揚化，守護正法亦復如是。我今以此大神呪力，六道化身度脫眾生，現作鬼王降伏諸鬼、摧滅邪見，內修菩薩清淨戒行，久已得處法流水中，八住齊階功勳成就，當知皆是大神呪力。其諸人王及諸行人，欲得現世離眾患難、欲護正法欲得安隱、欲得國土無諸災疫豐實安樂，其王應當勤心讀誦研精修習此陀羅尼，亦當勸勵后妃婇女、諸王子等勤心修習，晝夜讀誦極令通利。於月八日十四日十五日，離常住處在空靜地，淨潔洗浴，妙香塗身，著新淨衣，於夜後分明星出時，燒香、散五色妙花，三種名香供養十方佛已，然後三稱我名『摩醯首羅大天王滿我所願。』如是三說。『令我所求皆得吉祥。』作是願已，默然而坐。我於爾時當往其所。王於爾時即當誦此陀羅尼呪二十一遍，默然而坐。其王爾時若於夢中、若惺悟心，得見我身在虛空中處白蓮華臺，放大光明照觸王身。王見光已，即得清淨解脫無垢光三昧。得是三昧已心大歡喜，心歡喜故所願悉得。我時當遣八部鬼神守護國土，國界清夷無諸災橫。當知是此大神呪力。」

"Recite the spell five times; taking a thread of a single blue color, tie twelve knots in it and bind it to both hands. This great dhāraṇī spell was spoken by past Buddhas [numerous as] the sands of seven Ganges rivers. Furthermore, in the past I heard this great dhāraṇī spell named in the presence of those Buddhas, and from that time onward my supernormal powers have been sovereign: I broadly govern the great trichiliocosm, all ghost kings are subordinate to me, and through my divine power I can subdue them all. I now speak this dhāraṇī spell just as a king unbinds the bright jewel from his topknot to give to another. It is like a mighty universal monarch whose majestic power is sovereign and who has no adversaries before him: those not yet subdued he has the power to subdue; those already subdued he further protects; and whatever they require he causes not to be lacking. At that time the universal monarch overawes and subdues the common people, yet he is also able to nurture and increasingly protect them, just like a compassionate father, with no difference whatsoever. I now, the Great Heavenly King Maheśvara, have sovereign divine power that is likewise; I oversee and govern the ghost and spirit kings of the great trichiliocosm, and my nurturing and protecting are likewise; I subdue non-Buddhists and all false views, causing them all to submit and abide peacefully in the true Dharma; furthermore, by means of supernormal powers I soar through the ten directions, roaming the Buddha realms to assist the Buddhas in propagating their transformation, and my protection of the true Dharma is likewise. Now, through the power of this great dhāraṇī spell, I manifest bodies in the six destinies to liberate sentient beings, appearing as a ghost king to subdue all ghosts and destroy false views, while internally cultivating the pure moral practices of a bodhisattva; I have long since attained an abiding place within the stream of Dharma, reaching the equal rank of the eighth ground and accomplishing meritorious achievements—you should know that all of this is due to the power of the great dhāraṇī spell. If human kings and practitioners wish to be free from all calamities in this present life, wish to protect the true Dharma, wish to attain tranquility, and wish their lands to be free from plagues and disasters, abundant, and joyful, those kings should diligently recite and meticulously cultivate this dhāraṇī; they should also encourage their queens, consorts, court ladies, and princes to cultivate it diligently, reciting it day and night until they are completely fluent. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month, leaving their usual dwelling places for a secluded and quiet place, they should wash and bathe purely, anoint their bodies with exquisite incense, don new clean robes, and in the latter part of the night when the morning star appears, burn incense, scatter exquisite flowers of five colors, and make offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions with three kinds of famed incense. Afterwards, they should call out my name three times: 'Great Heavenly King Maheśvara, fulfill my wishes!' Saying this three times: 'May whatever I seek all attain good fortune!' Having made this vow, they should sit in silence. At that time I shall proceed to that place. The king should then immediately recite this dhāraṇī spell twenty-one times, and sit in silence. At that time, whether in a dream or in an awakened state of mind, the king will behold my body in the empty sky, seated upon a white lotus pedestal, emitting great brilliant light that shines upon and touches the king's body. Having seen the light, the king will immediately attain the pure liberation undefiled light samādhi. Having attained this samādhi, his mind will rejoice greatly, and because his mind rejoices, all his wishes will be granted. I will then dispatch the ghosts and spirits of the eight classes to guard and protect the realm, so that the borders will be peaceful and free from all calamities and misfortunes. You should know that this is the power of this great dhāraṇī spell."
