陀羅尼雜集 3.30

3.30

是大神呪乃是過去十恒河沙諸佛所說。我娑伽羅龍王於七百阿僧祇劫已來，常修行此陀羅尼，以是之故於諸龍王最上最勝，端正殊妙神通自在，能以神力聲振三千，極佛境界無不蒙益。一四天下小千世界，四天下中三千大千世界無不蒙潤，慈悲普覆等雨法雨，能令眾生增長鞠育菩提根牙。若諸眾生處在三惡三垢覆蔽，為開慧眼令覩光明。若諸國王渴乏須雨，我能給足令其豐實，四天下中普皆令等。而其國王欲得豐實，無他怨賊欲來侵境，於其國內熾然正法恩惠普覆，斷理怨抂賑諸貧窮，有孤老者生憐愍心。若其國王能行是德，十方諸佛、諸大菩薩、釋梵四天王、天龍鬼神常隨護助，求願與願無不獲果。王於爾時應當修行此陀羅尼，於淨潔處離大憒鬧，於七日中不食酒肉五辛，白淨素食，蘇酪聽食，香湯洗浴著白淨衣，七日七夜受持八戒，燒眾名香栴檀、沈水及薰陸香，散五色華，供養十方諸佛，我釋迦如來應正遍知。爾時應當三稱我名娑伽羅龍王，即便誦呪二七遍，於六時中從初一日，國王爾時心轉淳厚。一日二日乃至七日，便見我身在其前住，若白龍象像，若轉輪聖王像，隨其所求能滿其願，為除宿罪令得道果。

This great dhāraṇī-mantra was spoken by past Buddhas [numerous as] the sands of ten Ganges Rivers. For seven hundred asaṃkhyeya kalpas, I, the Nāga King Sāgara, have constantly practiced this dhāraṇī. For this reason, I am the supreme and most excellent among the nāga kings, upright and extraordinarily wondrous, with supernormal powers unimpeded and free; by supernormal power I can shake the great trichiliocosm with my voice, so that to the very limits of the Buddha-realm, none fail to receive benefit. Throughout the four continents and a small chiliocosm, throughout the four continents within the great trichiliocosm, everywhere is moistened; universal compassion covers all, raining down the Dharma-rain equally, able to cause the sprouts and shoots of bodhi in sentient beings to grow and be nurtured. If sentient beings are in the three evil destinies, obscured by the three stains, I open their wisdom eye and cause them to behold the light. If kings are parched and in need of rain, I can provide abundantly and make it fruitful, causing all within the four continents to be equal. If a king wishes for abundance, with no other hostile bandits invading his borders, he should make the true Dharma blaze within his country, have his kindness and favor cover all universally, judge grievances and oppressions justly, relieve the poor, and give rise to a mind of pity for the solitary and the aged. If a king can practice these virtues, the Buddhas of the ten directions, the great bodhisattvas, Śakra, Brahmā, the Four Heavenly Kings, devas, nāgas, ghosts, and spirits will constantly follow and assist him, granting whatever he seeks so that none fail to bear fruit. The king at that time should practice this dhāraṇī in a pure and clean place, far from great commotion, abstaining from alcohol, meat, and the five pungent roots for seven days, eating clean vegetarian food—ghee and curds are permitted—bathing in scented water, wearing clean white clothes, upholding the eight precepts for seven days and seven nights, burning various famous incenses—sandalwood, agarwood, and frankincense—scattering flowers of five colors, and making offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions and our Śākyamuni Tathāgata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One. At that time, he should invoke my name, Nāga King Sāgara, three times, and then recite the mantra fourteen times throughout the six periods of the day. Beginning from the first day, the king's mind will become increasingly sincere and pure. On the first day, the second day, up to the seventh day, he will see my body abiding before him, whether in the form of a white nāga-elephant or the form of a wheel-turning sage king; according to what he seeks, I will be able to fulfill his wishes, eliminating past sins for him and causing him to attain the fruits of the Path.
