治禪病祕要法 2.45

2.45

"The method for treating it: one should first visualize the four great ṛṣis of the Snowy Mountains and the Fragrant Mountains, all of whom are great bodhisattvas. One should imagine those ṛṣis to have golden-colored bodies sixteen zhang tall, holding a flower in one hand and a vajra wheel in the other, and holding fragrant medicines in their mouths, shielding and protecting the practitioner so that the wind does not rise. The ṛṣis hold flowers and chant over the water that emerges, and nāgas completely suck up all the winds; the nāgas' bodies swell up large, and lying down to sleep on the ground they are completely unable to get up. One should visualize these nāgas as being like banana trees, wrapped layer upon layer of skin, unable to draw breath."
