By reciting it, this will be accomplished: weapons, fire, water, poison, poisoned food and drink, or kākhordas will not hurt one. One will not be harmed by a king, thieves, and so forth. Wherever this is written down and stored, epidemics,[3] harm, and contagions will not arise.[4] What is more, one will attain the samādhi called stainless light.”
The Noble Dhāraṇī “The Essence of Vairocana” is complete.Notes
F here adds thugs rje chen po dang ldan pa “who is endowed with great compassion.”
backThe phrase vairocanaraśmi sañcodite āgaccha| āryākāśagarbha “Come, ordered by Vairocana’s light rays! Noble Ākāśagarbha (“Essence of the Sky”)” in the dhāraṇī rather seems to suggest that this is the dhāraṇī of the bodhisattva Ākāśagarbha.
backF here omits yams kyi nad “epidemics.”
