陀羅尼雜集 8.32

8.32

佛言：「是為檀特羅經，佛故為諸弟子結此呪經。」佛告諸弟子：「若有急者當讀誦之。鬼神儻來嬈人，常持慈心淨心哀心，還自視五藏。佛結是經，日月常恐墮地，佛語終不有異。今佛說是檀特羅經結說已，生人欲來嬈人不得，山神亦不得嬈人，道溝中鬼神亦不得嬈人，星死鬼神亦不得嬈人，善死鬼神亦不得嬈人。聞是語已，火為不然、飲食得毒毒為不行，惡人欲來殺害刀為不傷，溺深水中水為不沒難，郡有四子擁護。人行空閑處，若行縣邑村中、若行大國中、若對若會若大坐耆老中、伴侶行步中坐臥中，其有蠱道家者，向讀是經，蠱道為不復行。」佛即為羅云說已，使羅云為諸比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，及諸弟子皆讀誦之，便說此偈：

The Buddha said: "This is the Dantala Sūtra; for this reason the Buddha has sealed this mantra sūtra for his disciples." The Buddha told the disciples: "If anyone is in urgent straits, they should read and recite it. If ghosts and spirits should come to harass a person, always maintain a mind of loving-kindness, a pure mind, and a compassionate mind, and reflect inward upon your own five viscera. When the Buddha seals this sūtra, though the sun and moon might constantly fear falling to the earth, the Buddha's words will never differ. Now that the Buddha has spoken and sealed this Dantala Sūtra, living persons wishing to harass people will be unable to do so; mountain spirits will also be unable to harass people; ghosts and spirits in roads and ditches will also be unable to harass people; ghosts and spirits of those who died under ill stars will also be unable to harass people; and ghosts and spirits of those who died peaceful deaths will also be unable to harass people. Having heard these words, fire will not burn them; if poison is received in food or drink, the poison will not act; if evil people wish to kill or harm them, blades will not wound them; if drowning in deep water, the water will not submerge them in peril; and in every region there will be the Four Sons to protect them. When a person walks in secluded places, whether walking in prefectures, towns, or villages, or walking in great kingdoms, whether facing assemblies or gatherings, or sitting among elders, or walking among companions, or sitting or lying down—if there are any practitioners of black-magic hexes (gu), when this sūtra is recited facing them, the hex craft will cease to function." After the Buddha had spoken this for Rāhula, he had Rāhula read and recite it for all the monks, nuns, laymen (upāsakas), laywomen (upāsikās), and all disciples, and then spoke this verse:
