金光明最勝王經疏 5.337

5.337

經。爾時大辯才天女說洗浴法壇場呪已，前禮佛足白佛言：「世尊！若有苾芻、苾芻尼、鄔波索迦、鄔波斯迦，受持讀誦書寫流布是妙經王，如說行者，若在城邑聚落、曠野山林、僧尼住處，我為是人將諸眷屬作天妓樂來詣其所而為擁護，除諸病苦，流星變怪、疫疾鬪諍、王法所拘、惡夢惡神為障礙者，蠱道厭術悉皆除殄，饒益是等持經之人，苾芻等眾及諸聽者皆令速渡生死大海，不退菩提。」

Sūtra: At that time the goddess Mahāsarasvatī, having spoken the bathing rite and the maṇḍala dhāraṇī, bowed forward at the Buddha's feet and addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One! If there are bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, or upāsikās who uphold, read, recite, copy, and disseminate this wondrous king of sūtras and practice as taught, whether in cities, towns, villages, wildernesses, mountain forests, or monastic dwellings, I shall, leading my retinue and playing divine music, come to their dwelling to protect them, eliminate their illnesses and suffering, and entirely eradicate shooting stars, strange omens, pestilence, disputes, imprisonment by royal law, the hindrances of bad dreams and evil spirits, black magic, and sorcery. I will bring benefit to these people who uphold the sūtra, causing the bhikṣus and the rest of the assembly, as well as all listeners, to swiftly cross the great ocean of saṃsāra and not fall back from bodhi."
