從此已下有諸天真言二十五道古人譯為漢語訛失聖意文句蹇澀讀誦甚難今欲再翻為闕梵夾難為詳定且依經本以俟後賢。

From here on down there are twenty-five mantras of various devas. Ancient people translated them into the Han language, corrupting and losing the sacred intent; the sentences are awkward and stumbling, making chanting extremely difficult. Now, wishing to re-translate them, because the Sanskrit palm-leaf manuscripts are lacking, it is difficult to determine them in detail. For now, we follow the sūtra text and await future sages.
