陀羅尼雜集 2.73

2.73

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，從是以來逕七百劫，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，心無慚愧暴虐濁亂，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，苞含民物猶如父母，國有賢能當徵召之，敬賢尊聖如視父母，王自躬身臨朝斷事，不抂民物猶如明鏡。若其國王能修是德，改往修來悔先所作，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，國土孤老當撫恤之；三者於怨親中心常平等，稱理怨枉不枉民物。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、滅罪增福、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珍，是珠神氣消伏災禍。我今以此大神呪力，上來諸德悉能辦之，消災滅惡亦復如是。當知是大神呪力，如王寶珠亦復如是。

This great dhāraṇī-mantra was spoken by Buddhas of the past, as numerous as forty Ganges sands. In the past, I heard the power of this great dhāraṇī-mantra spoken by those Buddhas. Since then, passing through seven hundred kalpas, I have resided in Jambudvīpa as a great royal preceptor, commanding the four continents, the king among the host of stars who has attained supreme mastery; all state affairs across the four continents I take upon myself. If human kings do not employ their ministers according to the true Dharma, have no shame in their hearts, and are tyrannical, chaotic, and lawless, allowing their ministers to cruelly oppress the common people, I can depose them and summon worthy and capable ones to take their royal thrones. If [a king] can feel shame, reform evil, and cultivate good; if he can employ the good and dismiss the evil; if his heart is vast and broadly compassionate toward all, accepting and rescuing them like a bridge or boat, embracing people and things like parents; if the realm has worthy and capable ones, he should summon them, revering the worthy and honouring the holy as if looking upon his parents; and 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 the past and cultivate the future, repenting of what was done before, reproaching himself with shame, and lamenting his faults and misdeeds; having repented and reproached himself, he should cultivate three virtues: first, revere the Three Honoured Ones; second, pity the poor, caring for the orphans and elderly in the realm; third, maintain an impartial mind toward enemies and kin, settling grievances fairly and not wronging the people and things. If he can practice the virtues described above, I will then lead the great heavenly kings, the heavenly Śakras, the Director of Fate, and the Directors of the Heavenly Bureaus to remove death and fix life, extinguish sins and increase blessings, add to his allotted lifespan, report to the heavenly bureaus, and dispatch one thousand seven hundred good spirits to patrol and guard the borders of the realm, protecting the country, eliminating its calamities, and wiping out its treacherous evil. Wind and rain will be timely, grains will be abundant, epidemics will be eradicated, there will be no powerful enemies, and the people will be at peace and praise the king's virtue. If this king can simultaneously read and recite this dhāraṇī, it is like a wheel-turning sage king obtaining a wish-fulfilling jewel; the divine energy of this jewel suppresses and subdues calamities. Now by the power of this great dhāraṇī-mantra, all the virtues described above can be accomplished, and dispelling disasters and extinguishing evils is likewise so. You should know that the power of this great dhāraṇī-mantra is just like the king's precious jewel.
