5.63
The method of practicing it: twenty-eight blue banners are required, placing seven in each of the four directions, and erect one large banner in the center.

Wash and bathe cleanly, wear new clean blue robes, boots, and hat, burn agarwood, white sandalwood, kunduruka incense, tagara incense, *pārikha* incense, and camphor incense, scatter blue flowers, and fast for three days. Spread a blue mat in the center; sitting upon the seat facing east, read and recite one hundred and eight times up to one thousand and eighty times, and rain will surely fall. Single-mindedly implore, taking the attainment [of rain] as the limit. If one's capacity does not reach the full provision of offering implements, set out offerings as one is able; obtaining one or two types of incense will also suffice, as long as one recites the mantra with single-minded devotion. If capacity is insufficient, set up one banner per direction and one platter as well; blue clothing is mandatory.

As one is about to reach peace and security, then untie the belt. This mantra is of great efficacy; one should always read it with a pure and unified mind.
5.84
Dhāraṇī Mantra for Toothache
5.85
Homage to the Buddha, homage to the Dharma, homage to the Saṃgha of bhikṣus. Homage to the bhikṣus Śāriputra, Taulu, and Mahāmaudgalyāyana. Homage to the Worthy Bodhimati, whose fame is heard throughout the ten directions. In the north is Mount Gandhamādana; there is a king of worms named Xiuxiuwude residing in the molar teeth. He shall dispatch messengers: let them not dare to eat these molars and teeth, their roots, within the molars, or beside the molars. If the worms do not immediately drop down into the vessel, their heads shall split into seven pieces, like a ku-ra-la-shan. Brahmā encourages and assists this mantra. Homage to the Buddha, may what I chant immediately come to pass as wished!
5.86

Dhāraṇī for Making Rain Fall (from the Mahāmegha Sūtra)
5.88
At that time, by the spiritual power of the World-Honoured One, four black clouds arose and sweet rain fell everywhere together; three kinds of clouds were raised, namely lower, middle, and upper, emitting the sound of sweet rain like heavenly music, which all sentient beings delighted to hear. At that time the World-Honoured One immediately spoke the mantra, saying:
5.90
"If there are any nāgas who, having heard this mantra, do not send down sweet rain, their heads shall split into seven pieces." At that time, as many Buddha-worlds as a hundred thousand kotis of nayutas of asaṃkhyeya kalpas of Buddhas shook with the six kinds of earthquakes. At that time, sentient beings, because of this earthquake, saw one another and mutually shook each other even up to the Śuddhāvāsa. When the Śuddhāvāsa had shaken, the nāgas and clouds both stirred. When the nāgas and clouds stirred, they poured down a great rain; at that time all ninety-eight thousand great rivers in Jambudvīpa were filled with the seven jewels, and all the pools together yielded the flavor of supreme medicine. Although it rained for seven days, there was no further harm done, and the joy of sentient beings was like drinking amṛta. The rivers were filled with water of eight virtues, namely: delicious, cold, light, soft, clear, pure, fragrant, and clean; when drunk, it was harmonizing and comfortable, and after being drunk, there was no ailment. All aquatic creatures gave forth wondrous sounds. At that time on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha, the seven jewels covered the ground without any empty space. The sky again rained utpala, padma, kumuda, and puṇḍarīka flowers made of the seven jewels. All aquatic creatures brought forth the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi; animal beings embraced the joy of the Mahāyāna and thirsted for the Mahāyāna, turning to one another with loving-kindness like an only child. The bhikṣus united in mind to make offerings to the Buddha.
5.91
Next is Spoken the Dhāraṇī for Binding Nāga Kings (from the Mahāmegha Sūtra)
5.93
One should bind them swiftly, using four stakes of khadira wood twelve finger-breadths long. Using this, empower four five-colored threads with the mantra: empower each thread twenty-one times, making twenty-one knots in each thread. Having bound the four stakes with these four threads, drive them into the four quarters; this is the completion of binding all nāgas.
5.94
Dhāraṇī for Endowing All Sense Faculties Spoken by Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva
5.96
For the ritual of this dhāraṇī, one must burn agarwood incense. If one is deficient in any bodily marks, empower grass with the mantra one hundred and eight times, and all sense faculties will become complete. If feet, hands, ears, eyes, or nose have defects or deficiencies, rub them with the grass; through the power of this mantra it can protect them all and cause them to heal, enabling them to attain completeness.
5.97
Sūtra on the Incantation of the Earth Spoken by the Buddha (This is an apocryphal scripture; the compiler of the mantras did not know this and mistakenly collected it here.)
5.98
The Buddha said: "If there are illnesses, earth-qi, or when pacifying the homestead and building a house, first recite the mantra three times, burn incense, make offerings, and then dig the earth; there shall be no taboos." The Buddha said: "May all spirits, ghost kings of heaven and earth in the ten directions, the sun, moon, five planets, and twenty-eight lunar lodges all clearly listen." The Buddha said: "Today, on behalf of So-and-so, I inspect and oversee the pacification of the homestead and the building of chambers, the management of gates, wells, and stoves, mortar-mills, grinders, granaries and storehouses, east and west wings, south chamber and north hall, and making pens and enclosures for the six domestic animals. Today I command on behalf of So-and-so: Generals of the Wandering Month-Sha and Five-Earth Spirit Office, spirits of the four seasons—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—Year-Sha, Month-Sha, the Six-Jia taboos, the Twelve Spirits, and the subterranean hidden dragons: each stay peacefully in your place and do not confound east and west! If there is any movement, burn incense and bow down to proclaim: 'The Buddha has an essential decree; do not recklessly interfere! Your heads will split into seven pieces, and your bodies will not remain whole!' You shall not leave your original offices without water and gruel. Urgent mantra, in accordance with the statutes and ordinances!"
5.99
After work has begun, it causes the halls and chambers to be eternally secure and the house to be completed; one will obtain wealth, noble status, auspicious promotions, travel, and join the military, while scholar-officials will be suited for office, and doing business will yield profits. People will have no disease, and the household will flourish. Each day will bring abundance with a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons. Twenty-five spirits will guard the family gate, government officers and bandits and unnatural disasters will not approach, calamities and portents will be extinguished, and enmity and hatred will not arise. Fathers will be kind and sons filial, grandfathers virtuous and grandsons compliant, men loyal and women chaste, elder brothers good and younger brothers respectful, yielding in righteousness and humble, husbands harmonious and wives gentle, with deep affection, righteousness, and closeness to kin; one will attain whatever the heart desires, and wherever one turns will always succeed. It shall cause the person observed to have all hundred illnesses extinguished, to practice like a bodhisattva, and to attain the Way like a Buddha.

Dhāraṇī Mantra for Difficult Childbirth Spoken by the Nirgrantha Deva
5.101

5.103
The ritual of the mantra says: write it on birch bark or paper, burn the written mantra into ashes, and have the woman ingest it in water; she will immediately give birth.
5.104
Dhāraṇī for Chanting Over Grain Seeds to Plant Them Free from Disaster and Locusts
5.106
As for this dhāraṇī, when one wishes to plant, take one dou of seeds and empower them with the mantra twenty-one times, and throw them into the bulk seeds to plant them; they will never be eaten by insects, and there will be no disaster or locusts. If the land is poor, empower one hu of earth with this dhāraṇī twenty-one times and scatter it over the grain; moreover, evil ghosts will not be able to suck the essence of this grain, and whoever [illicitly] eats this grain will have their head split into seven pieces.
5.108
One should empower earth with this dhāraṇī twenty-one times and scatter it over the grain; it can eliminate all calamities, locusts, and various insects.
5.109
Dhāraṇī for Poisoning from Scorpion Stings
5.111
Empower it with this dhāraṇī three times seven [times]. Empower it once seven times and give a mouthful of water; empower it three times seven times and give three mouthfuls of water, and it will immediately heal. If one wishes to know whether a person is poisoned or not, have them urinate into a bronze vessel and look: if there is grease in the vessel, they are.
5.112
Dhāraṇī for Those Who Suddenly Fall Gravely Ill and Faint into Unconsciousness
5.114
This mantra is for those who suddenly contract a serious illness and faint into unconsciousness, being unaware of themselves. Dye thread with lac, burn hard black agarwood incense, recite the mantra one hundred and eight times, tie one knot in the thread, and tie it onto the patient's body; they will regain consciousness.
