With single mind we reverently invite: the devas who protect the Dharma, the Great Eloquent One of Merits, Brahmā, Śakra, the Four Kings, the eight classes of dragons and spirits, the celestial spirits and earthly deities, the palaces of the sun, moon, and stars, the Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji rivers, the famous mountains and great streams, the allocations of prefectures and cities, the intelligent deities of the soil and grain, and the upright divine officials who protect the fasts and precepts. We only pray that, hearing this reverent invitation, you descend upon the bodhimaṇḍa, firmly guard, and bestow protection.
