金光明最勝王經疏 5.318

5.318

經　「若樂如法洗浴時，應作壇場方八肘，可於寂靜定穩處，念所求事不離心。應塗牛糞作其壇，於上普散諸華彩，當以淨潔金銀器，盛滿美味并乳蜜。於彼壇場四門所，四人守護法如常。令四童子好嚴身，各於一角持瓶水。於此常燒安息香，五音之樂聲不絕。旛蓋莊嚴懸繒綵，安在壇場之四邊。復於場內置明鏡，利刀兼箭各四枚。於壇中心埋大盆，應以漏版安其上。」

Sūtra: "When one desires to bathe in accordance with the rite, / One should construct a maṇḍala eight cubits square, / In a tranquil, quiet, stable, and secure place, / Keeping one's heart unseparated from mindful focus on the wish sought. / One should plaster the altar with cow dung, / And scatter all sorts of colorful flowers across it. / One must use clean vessels of gold and silver, / Filled to the brim with delicious flavors, milk, and honey. / At the four gates of that maṇḍala, / Four persons should stand guard according to the regular rite. / Cause four youths with well-adorned bodies / To each hold a water vase at one corner. / Here, benzoin incense should constantly be burned, / And the sounds of five-toned music should not cease. / Adorned with banners and canopies, hanging silk ribbons / Should be set on all four sides of the maṇḍala. / Furthermore, within the enclosure place bright mirrors, / Together with sharp knives and arrows, four of each. / At the center of the altar bury a large basin, / And a perforated board should be placed over it."
