金光明最勝王經疏 5.373

5.373

經　「應三七日誦前呪，可對大辯天佛前。若其不見此天神，應更用心經九日。於後夜中猶不見，更求清淨勝妙處，如法應畫辯才天，供養誦持心無捨，晝夜不生於懈怠，自利利他無窮盡，所獲果報施群生，於所求願皆成就。若不遂意經三月，六月九月或一年，慇懃求請心不移，天眼他心皆悉得」。

Sūtra:
'One should recite the preceding mantra for three times seven days,
facing Sarasvatī before the Buddha.
If one does not see this deity,
one should apply more effort for another nine days.
If she is still not seen in the final night,
one should seek another pure, exquisitely wondrous place,
paint Sarasvatī according to the ritual,
make offerings, chant and uphold [the mantra] without abandonment of mind,
day and night generating no laxity,
benefiting oneself and others endlessly,
dedicating the retribution obtained to all living beings,
and all that is sought and wished for will be accomplished.
If one's wish is not granted after three months,
six months, nine months, or one year,
imploring diligently with an unwavering mind,
the divine eye and knowledge of others' minds will all be attained.'
