陀羅尼雜集 3.50

3.50

此大神呪乃是過去二十恒河沙諸佛所說。我從諸佛得此陀羅尼，從是已來百阿僧祇劫有大神力神通自在，遊騰十方歷事諸佛，常以愛語軟語、利益同事調伏眾生。於諸眾生猶如慈父，心意寬弘猶如大海，含受眾生無所不苞，堪任荷負無量重擔，愍苦眾生施其安隱。若諸眾生來求索者，隨其所願不逆其意，求官職者令得職爵，求大富者施其寶藏，疾病者施其安隱。若諸國王欲求所願，我悉與之不違其意，求長壽與長壽，欲令國土無災害、雨澤時節不旱不澇、正得其中無諸災霜、穀米豐熟人民安樂、疫毒不行，滿其所願終不違意。是王爾時復能讀誦上來所說陀羅尼句，兼以十善化諸人民。如我上說所修功德，其王亦應如是修行。修行得已兼復讀誦此陀羅尼，曩劫所作極重惡業皆悉消滅無有遺餘。是王爾時罪垢滅已，其心泰然無眾惱患，怨憎平等無有親愛。常以月八日十四日十五日沐浴受齋，於清旦時日王未出，若正殿上若高樓上正東而坐，七遍誦此陀羅尼呪，燒白栴檀及沈水香，散七色華供養十方佛已。爾時應當三稱我名漚波羅龍王滿我所願，如是三說，即尋誦此陀羅尼句七遍乃止。是王爾時已精誠故，十方諸佛、諸大菩薩、釋梵四天王、八大龍王、我漚波羅龍王，以慈悲蓋覆其國土，以甘露水灑其國界，令其疾病疾毒惡氣悉得消滅。是名大神呪力滿願不虛。

This great dhāraṇī-mantra was spoken by past buddhas [as numerous as] the sands of twenty Gaṅgā rivers. I obtained this dhāraṇī from those buddhas, and since then, for a hundred asaṃkhyeya kalpas, I have possessed great spiritual power and supernormal freedom, roaming through the ten directions and serving the buddhas, constantly taming and subduing sentient beings with affectionate and gentle speech, beneficial actions, and common goals. Toward sentient beings I am like a loving father; my mind is vast and broad like the great ocean, containing and accepting sentient beings with nothing excluded, capable of bearing immeasurable heavy burdens, pitying suffering sentient beings and bestowing peace and security upon them. If sentient beings come seeking something, I grant their wishes without defying their intent: those seeking office receive rank and position, those seeking great wealth are granted treasures, and those who are ill are granted peace and recovery. If kings wish to attain their desires, I grant them all without defying their intent: those seeking long life are given long life; if they wish for their realm to be free from disasters, with rains falling in season—neither drought nor flood, just right—without blights or frosts, with grains ripening abundantly, the people peaceful and happy, and pestilence not arising, their wishes will be fulfilled without ever contravening their intent. If this king can then read and recite the phrases of the dhāraṇī spoken above and also transform the people through the ten virtuous deeds, practicing the meritorious virtues I described above, that king should practice in this manner. Having practiced thus and furthermore reading and reciting this dhāraṇī, the extremely heavy evil karma committed in past kalpas will all be eliminated without remainder. When that king's sinful defilements have been eradicated, his mind will be peaceful and at ease, free from all troubles and afflictions, regarding enemies and haters with equanimity, without partiality. He should regularly bathe and observe the precepts on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month; at dawn before the sun rises, either in the main palace hall or in a high tower, facing directly east, he should recite this dhāraṇī-mantra seven times, burn white sandalwood and agarwood incense, and scatter flowers of seven colors to make offerings to the buddhas of the ten directions. He should then call upon my name three times: 'Nāga King Utpala, fulfill my wishes!' Having spoken thus three times, he should immediately recite the phrases of this dhāraṇī seven times and then stop. Because the king is earnest at that time, the buddhas of the ten directions, the great bodhisattvas, Śakra, Brahmā, the Four Heavenly Kings, the eight great nāga kings, and I, the nāga king Utpala, will shelter his realm with a canopy of loving-kindness and compassion, sprinkle his kingdom with ambrosia water, and cause illnesses, pestilence, and evil vapors all to be eliminated. This is called the power of the great dhāraṇī-mantra, which fulfills wishes without fail.
