故七佛經云。護僧伽藍神。斯有十八神。一名美音。二名梵音。三名天鼓。四名歎妙。五名歎美。六名摩妙。七名香音。八名師子。九名妙歎。十名梵響。十一名人音。十二名佛奴。十三名歎德。十四名廣目。十五名妙眼。十六名徹聽。十七名徹視。十八名遍視。寺既有神護。居住之者亦宜自勵不得惰怠。恐招現報也。

Therefore, the Seven Buddhas Sūtra states: 'As for the guardian deities of a saṅghārāma, there are eighteen spirits: the first is named Fine Sound, the second Brahma Sound, the third Heavenly Drum, the fourth Praised as Sublime, the fifth Praised as Beautiful, the sixth Rubbing Wondrous, the seventh Fragrant Sound, the eighth Lion, the ninth Sublime Praise, the tenth Brahma Resonator, the eleventh Human Sound, the twelfth Buddha Servant, the thirteenth Praising Virtue, the fourteenth Wide Eyes, the fifteenth Wondrous Eyes, the sixteenth Penetrating Hearing, the seventeenth Penetrating Sight, and the eighteenth Universal Sight.' Since a monastery has deities protecting it, those who reside in it should also exert themselves and not be indolent, lest they incur immediate retribution.
