佛告文殊。一一誦滿一百八遍。此呪章句汝於處處當說。如佛華法餘華亦爾。又華嚴經云。昔人中有香名大象藏。因龍鬪生。若燒一丸興大光明。網雲覆上。味如甘露。七日七夜降香水雨。若著身者身則金色。若著衣服宮殿樓閣。亦悉金色。若有眾生得聞此香。七日七夜歡喜悅樂。滅一切病。無有橫抂。遠離恐怖危害之心。專向大慈。普念眾生。我知彼已而為說法。令無量眾生得不退轉。又牛頭栴檀香。從離垢山生。若以塗身火不能燒。

The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: "Recite each one fully one hundred and eight times. You should expound the phrases of this dhāraṇī in every place. As with the method for Buddha flowers, other flowers are also like this." Furthermore, the Huayan jing says: "In the past, there was an incense among humans called Great Elephant Treasury (Gajagarbha), which arose because of dragons fighting. If one pellet is burned, it produces great light, with a cloud net covering above, tasting like ambrosia; for seven days and seven nights it rains fragrant water. If it touches one's body, the body becomes golden; if it touches clothes, palaces, and pavilions, they also all become golden. If any sentient beings get to smell this incense, for seven days and seven nights they will be joyful and blissful, eliminating all diseases, being free from untimely disasters, far removed from thoughts of terror and harm, dedicated to great kindness, and universally mindful of sentient beings. Having known them, I preached the Dharma for them, causing immeasurable sentient beings to attain non-retrogression." Furthermore, ox-head candana incense arises from the Mount Free of Defilement (Vimalaparvata); if one smears it on the body, fire cannot burn it.
