本願藥師經古迹 2.14

2.14

爾時眾中有十二藥叉大將俱在會坐，所謂宮毘羅大將、伐折羅大將、迷企羅大將、安底羅大將、頞爾羅大將、珊底羅大將、因達羅大將、波夷羅大將、摩虎羅大將、真達羅大將、招杜羅大將、毘羯羅大將，此十二藥叉大將一一各有七千藥叉以為眷屬，同時舉聲白佛言：世尊！我等今者蒙佛威力，得聞世尊藥師瑠璃光如來名號，不復更有惡趣之怖。我等相率皆同一心，乃至盡形歸佛法僧，誓當荷負一切有情，為作義利饒益安樂。隨於何等村城國邑空閑林中，若有流布此經，或復受持藥師瑠璃光如來名號恭敬供養者，我等眷屬衛護是人，皆使解脫一切苦難，諸有願求悉令滿足。或有疾厄求度脫者，亦應讀誦此經，以五色縷結我名字，得如願已然後解結。爾時世尊讚諸藥叉大將言：善哉善哉！大藥叉將！汝等念報世尊藥師瑠璃光如來恩德者，常應如是利益安樂一切有情。

At that time, there were twelve great yakṣa generals present together in the assembly: namely, General Kumbhīra, General Vajra, General Mekhila, General Antira, General Anila, General Śāṇḍilya, General Indra, General Pāyila, General Mahoraga, General Cindra, General Caundhura, and General Vikarāla. Each of these twelve great yakṣa generals had seven thousand yakṣas as attendants. With one voice, they addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World-Honoured One, having now received the majestic power of the Buddha, we have gotten to hear the name of the World-Honoured One, Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabha Tathāgata, and no longer have the fear of the bad destinies. Leading one another, we are all of one mind, and unto the end of our bodily forms we take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Saṅgha. We vow to shoulder all sentient beings, to bring about meaningful benefit, prosperity, and peace for them. In whatever villages, towns, kingdoms, cities, or solitary forests this sūtra is circulated, or where people uphold the name of Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabha Tathāgata, revering and making offerings to it, our attendants and we will guard and protect those persons, causing them all to be liberated from all suffering and tribulations, and causing all their wishes and requests to be fulfilled. If there are those who suffer from illnesses and calamities and seek to be delivered, they should also read and recite this sūtra, tie our names with five-coloured threads, and only after their wishes are attained untie the knots.' At that time, the World-Honoured One praised the great yakṣa generals, saying: 'Excellent, excellent, great yakṣa generals! You who are mindful of repaying the kindness and merits of the World-Honoured One, Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabha Tathāgata, should always benefit, enrich, and bring peace to all sentient beings in this way.'
