I, Bodhisattva Suyaśas, now come from the northern Buddha-realm of Śāntacandrasvararāja Buddha to this Sahā world. The Buddha-Dharma is about to perish, and people commit much evil, greedily clinging to gain and offerings, finding fault with one another, having no righteousness of ruler and minister, father and son, nor the propriety of teacher and disciple. The five turbidities boil over and the three disasters rage fiercely; all because in past lives they did not cultivate virtuous conduct, accumulating various evils, they have now obtained these bodies. Although receiving human bodies, their minds are like those of beasts, rākṣasas, and ghosts—a human body with a beast's mind, appearing identical to humans. How lamentable, the great suffering! The thousand years are nearing their end, and among them there may be only one or two sentient beings who leave footsteps [on the Path]. I now wish to speak a mantra to rescue and receive them, so that their original practice may be restored to how it was in the beginning. There is a mantra named *Yunjamitu*, which in the language of Jin means 'uprooting the root of the practitioner's sins and defilements, rubbing, washing, and wiping them to make them fresh and white.'
