### [3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.3.37)

又大集經云。佛告梵天王等。我諸聲聞現在未來。三業相應。及與三種菩提相應。有學無學具足持戒。多聞善行度諸眾生。於三有海及諸施主。為我聲聞而造塔寺。亦復供給一切所須。及彼眷屬。付囑汝等。勿令惡王非法惱亂。爾時梵釋天王龍王夜叉等。合掌向佛而作是言。大德婆伽婆。已有一切如來塔寺。及阿蘭若處。及未來世若在家出家人。為於世尊聲聞弟子。造塔寺處。我等悉共守護。令離一切諸難怖畏。亦如有給施飲食衣服臥具湯藥一切所須。如是施主。我等亦當護持養育。

> Furthermore, the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra states: The Buddha told Brahmā and the others, 'My śrāvakas, present and future, whose three actions are in accord \[with Dharma\] and who are in accord with the three kinds of bodhi, whether trainees or beyond training, who uphold the precepts fully, are learned, perform good deeds, and deliver sentient beings from the ocean of the three realms of existence; as well as the donors who build stupas and monasteries for my śrāvakas and provide them with all necessities, together with their retinues—I entrust them to you all. Do not allow wicked kings to harass or disturb them contrary to the Dharma.' At that time, Brahmā, Śakra, the dragon kings, yakṣas, and others joined their palms toward the Buddha and spoke these words: 'Venerable Bhagavat, wherever there are stupas and monasteries of all Tathāgatas, and araṇya hermitages, and wherever in future ages laypeople or monastics build stupas and monasteries for the World-Honoured One's śrāvaka disciples, we shall together protect them all, causing them to be free from all perils and fears. Likewise, toward those donors who provide food, drink, robes, bedding, medicines, and all necessities, we shall also guard, protect, and nurture them.'
