Mahāmāyūrī Vidyārājñī S (佛母大孔雀明王經)

Thus I have heard:

Once, the Bhagavan was dwelling in the monastery of Jeta's Grove, in the Anāthapiṇḍada Park near Śrāvastī. At that time, there was a monk named Sāti, who had only recently left home and received full ordination—new to the monastic discipline. He was cutting firewood for the community to prepare bathing water. A large black snake emerged from a hole in the rotten wood and bit the monk on the big toe of his right foot. The venom spread throughout his body; he collapsed unconscious to the ground, with foam coming from his mouth and his eyes rolling upward.

Then Venerable Ānanda saw that monk suffering greatly from venom. He quickly went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and said: "World-Honored One! The monk Sāti has been bitten and is in terrible agony, as I have just described. Out of your great compassion, how can you help and protect him?" Having said this,

Then the Buddha said to Ananda: "I have a Great Mother of Buddhas, the Radiant King Great Mantra. It possesses immense power that can eliminate all poisons, fears, disasters, and afflictions, while protecting and nurturing all beings, bringing them peace and happiness. Take this Mother of Buddhas Radiant King Great Mantra and use it to rescue the monk Sati. Use it to establish the earth boundary and the directional boundary, bringing stability and safety, so that all suffering and distress are completely eliminated.

Should they be possessed or controlled by heavenly dragons, Asuras, Maruts, Garudas, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Mahoragas, Yakshas, Rakshasas, Pretas, Pisachas, Bhutas, Kumbhandas, Putañas, Kataputañas, Skandas, Umanas, Chayas, Apasmaras, or Ustarakas—beings who seize and afflict others—the Mother of Buddhas Radiant King Mantra can protect them, granting them freedom from worry and fear, and a lifespan of one hundred years.

Or if someone falls prey to others' curses, spells, black magic, or harmful practices—such as Kritikas, Karmanas, Kakurunas, Kiranas, Vetanas, those who drink blood and marrow, those who transform humans into servants, those who summon ghosts and spirits, or those who create evil karma through poison, tainted food, malevolent shadows, malicious stares, harmful jumps, or malicious leaps, or who write harmful letters or commit rebellious acts—any such evil deeds meant to cause trouble, this Mother of Buddhas Radiant King Mantra will protect that person, along with their family, so that none of these harmful forces can affect them.

Furthermore, for all fevers lasting one day, two days, three days, four days, up to seven days, half a month, or even a full month; intermittent fevers or sudden fevers; every kind of fever, including the four hundred and four diseases; chronic fevers, paralysis, goiters; fevers caused by spirits; imbalances of wind, bile, and phlegm; diseases resulting from the combination of the three humors; indigestion; headaches or half-headaches; pain in the eyes, ears, nose; pain in the lips, mouth, or cheeks; pain in the teeth, tongue; pain in the throat, chest, ribs, back; heart pain, stomach pain, lower back pain, abdominal pain; thigh pain, knee pain; pain in the four limbs; pain in hidden places; or pain throughout the entire body—all these afflictions will be completely eliminated.

May the Mother of Buddhas protect me, [insert name], along with my family. As I establish the earth boundary and the directional boundary, while reciting this scripture, may we all be safe and secure."

And he spoke this verse:

He spoke a dharani, saying:

Tadyathā: Ine vini kini hine mini ṇini aṇne gaṇne nugaṇne harini vaguṇe baṅguśaśiṇi aruhaṇi uruhaṇi eḷe meḷe teḷe tili tili meḷe meḷe time time nume nume ijiyapilya māpūja śavaṇa pratāraya vyākālaye vikālaye apriyāntata stambhanāta daṣṭānā mukhehīnā vṛtti virodha kūṭa kūṭa kūṭa kūṭa kūḍa māra māra māra māra māra māra māra māra māra māra rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja rāja nāma namaṇa dāta dātaṇa śvāla śvālaṇa byāla byālaṇa hāla hālaṇa nuṇa gajaṇa dharāṣaṇi saparyaṇi attapaṇa pācaṇa harini dhāriṇikāriṇi kampaṇa manaṇa māntiki makari śakari kakari śokari śaṅkari śvāriṇi numa numvri numve numve golāya parivrāya dharāṣṭu nīve sāmantena ikṣikasthāna svāhā!

(If you are reciting this sutra and reach this point, you may make whatever wish you have—just speak it aloud. In times of severe drought, say: "May heaven send rain." In times of severe flooding, say: "May heaven stop the rain." If there is war, banditry, plague, famine, or any other hardship, simply state your situation. With a focused heart, make your request, and it will be granted as you wish.)

Ānanda, there are names of dragon kings. You should arouse a mind of loving-kindness and recite these names to dispel all poisons. They are:

Homage to the Buddha. Homage to the Enlightened One. Homage to the Liberated One. Homage to the Liberated One. Homage to the Peaceful One. Homage to the Peaceful One. Homage to the Utterly Liberated One. Homage to the Utterly Liberated One.

The Buddha said to Ananda: "In the past, on the southern side of the Snow Mountain, the Golden Splendor Peacock King lived there. Every morning, he would recite the Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharani of the Buddha Mother. During the day, he would surely be at peace. Reciting it at dusk, he would surely be safe at night." Then he spoke the dharani:

Namo Buddhaya (One) Namo Dharmaya (Two) Namo Sanghaya (Three) Tadyatha (Four) Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu (Five) Naga Le Le (Six) Nu Ma Le Le (Seven) Gu Ya Gu Ya (Eight) Vi Jaya Vi Jaya (Nine) Du Su Du Su (Ten) Gu Ru Gu Ru (Eleven) E La Mi La (Twelve) Ti Li Mi La (Thirteen) I Li Mi Tra (Fourteen) Ti Li Mi Tra (Fifteen) I Li Ti Li Mi Tra (Sixteen) Nu Mi (Seventeen) Su Nu Mi (Eighteen) Du Su Di (Nineteen) Gu La Ve La (Twenty) Ja Pa La (Twenty-one) Vi Ma La (Twenty-two) I Ji Li (Twenty-three) Vi Ji Li (Twenty-four) Li Ji Li (Twenty-five) Vi Ji Li (Twenty-six) Namo Stu Buddhaya Nam (Twenty-seven) Ji Li Gi Si (Twenty-eight) Gu Nu Hi Ga (Twenty-nine) Namo Ra Ha Tam (Thirty) Hu Ra Na Ra (Thirty-one) Va Ra Sha Du Ni Va (Thirty-two) Sam Man Di Na (Thirty-three) Na Sha Su Ni Sha Su (Thirty-four) Namo Mu Dha Nam (Thirty-five) Sva Ha (Thirty-six)

"Ananda! Once upon a time, the Golden Peacock King suddenly forgot to recite this Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharani of the Buddha-Mother. Along with a large retinue of peahens, he roamed from forest to forest and from mountain to mountain, indulging in play. Entranced by desire and attachment, lost in heedless confusion, he entered a mountain cave. At that moment, a hunter-enemy, seeking an opportunity, captured the Peacock King with a bird snare. As soon as he was caught, he recollected his true mindfulness. Immediately, he recited the Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharani of the Buddha-Mother as before. Instantly, the bonds that held him were naturally released, his retinue was safe and tranquil, and they all returned to their original dwelling place." Then, the following Dharani of the Wisdom King was proclaimed:

Namo Buddhāya (1). Namo Dharmāya (2). Namo Saṅghāya (3). Homage to Noble Sorrowless One (4), To the Sun of Wisdom’s Radiant Light (5), To the Great Loving Mother of All Liberation – (6) To her, the Mother of Infinite Eyes of Compassion (7), (8).

Thus it is said: (9) Perfect (10), Utterly Perfect (11), Freeing (12), Liberating (13), The Supreme Goal (14), The Ultimate Supreme Goal (15), Without Stain (16), Free from All Stains (17), Beyond All Stains (18), Auspicious (19), Sweet and Completely Fulfilling (20), Precious and Fulfilling (21), The Virtuous Path (22), the Supremely Virtuous Path (23), The Universally Virtuous Path (24).

She Who Brings All Wishes to Fulfillment (25), She Who Brings Ultimate Meaning to Life (26), She Who Completes All Aims (27), She Who Makes All Good Things Flourish (28).

Great Mind (29), Great Wisdom (30), Utterly Great Wisdom (31), The Powerful One (32), The Completely Purified One (33), The One Beyond all Limits (34), The Flame (35), The Radiant Flame (36), Without Limit (37), Deathless Nectar (38), Without Dual (39), Ever-Pure Unborn (40).

Sacred as Brahma (41), Sacred Goddess with Brahma’s Grace (42), Full and Fulfilled (43), Filled with all Perfections (44), Radiant Power of Nectar Light (45), Auspicious Grace (46), Grace of the Moon (47), Light of the Sun (48), Radiant Splendor Blazing On (49), Lady of the Rays of Golden Light (50), Luminous and Pure One (51), Splendor of the Highest God (52), The God-like Beauty (53),

May She be with All and Everywhere (54), Removing All Obstacles (55). Svāhā (56)!

Homage to All Buddhas (57). May they truly bless me and my family (58), And all who dwell within this circle (59). May harm be averted (60), May all blessings come (61). May protection and peace surround (62), May all dangers cease (63). Blessings Now (64), And through all times: may all good things arise! (65)

Svāhā (66)!

The Buddha said to Ananda: "The Golden Peacock King of the past—was that someone else? It was myself. Now I will again speak the Dharani of the Great Peacock Bright King, the Mother of All Buddhas:"

The Dharani says:

Adhimiti, timiti, timiri miti, tili pi, mili, militi mi, tili mili, suddha vaddha, suddha vaddha, su vaca, ciriksiya, pina me ni, namo buddhanam, cikksi pan dha mu li, adi hi ru, ruhi ta mu li, dham va, am va, ku ci, ku na ci, ti ra ku ca na ci, a na va ta ya, ra sa tu nai mu, na va ma sa, na sa ma si ti, adi mi ri, kili mili, kela mili, kidu mu li, nu nu mi, sunu mi nai, na li mi, sandhu ne, musa ne, musale musale, ai na va sutra ci, na ka la, na ka li mi, kha ra ma ra, ki li adi, sa ja li, tu ve, tu du ni, a na ne, pra na ne, a na na ne, va ra sa tu nai mu, namo da ke na, sandha ne du, samanti na, a ra ya ni, pa ra ya ni, ha ri ta ri, gun dhu ri, i mi ssu ti, gitti mi ssu ti, i mi sidham tu, na ra mi na, mantra ma na svaha.

“Ananda! This Dharani of the Great Peacock Wisdom Mother, the heart of all Buddhas, should be recalled by anyone who wishes to enter a village. Recite it in the wilderness; when traveling on a road, or even off the road, always keep it in mind. Recite it upon entering a king’s palace, when meeting bandits, in times of conflict, in danger from fire or flood, when confronting enemies, in a crowd, when stung by snakes or scorpions, when poisoned, in any moment of fear, or when afflicted by disorders of wind, bile, or phlegm. Recite it for the three types of ailments, or for each of the four hundred and four illnesses. Whenever suffering arises, always remember it.

Why is that? For if someone deserves the death penalty, by this they may be freed through a fine; if they deserve a fine, they may be freed with a light beating; if they deserve a light beating, they may be freed with a scolding; if they deserve a scolding, they may be freed with a reprimand; if they deserve a reprimand, they may be freed with trembling; if they deserve trembling, they may be naturally released. All their sorrows and anxieties will be completely dispelled.”

"Ānanda! This Great Peacock Wisdom King Mantra of the Buddha Mother has been proclaimed together by all Thus-Come Ones. One should constantly uphold it, speak one's own name, and make this request for protection: 'May you embrace me (this person), dispel all fears, and when faced with weapons, staffs, or shackles in times of suffering, may I be fully liberated. May I always encounter benefit, never meet disaster or danger, live for a hundred years, and see a hundred autumns.' Ānanda! If any person—whether a heavenly being, human, Māra, Brahmin, renunciant, or priest—recites, upholds, and maintains this Buddha Mother Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharani, establishing its boundary lines and cardinal directions, requesting protection with single-minded dedication, I do not see any being among the heavens, dragons, or spirits that can harm them. That is to say:

* Heavenly beings, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and all their companions—none can cause harm. * Dragons, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and all their companions—none can cause harm. * Asuras, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Garudas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Kinnaras, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Mahoragas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Yakshas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Rakshasas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Pretas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Pishachas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Bhutas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Kumbhandas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Putanas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Kataputanas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Skandas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Unmadas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Chayas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Apasmaras, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm. * Ostharakas, their wives, sons, daughters, parents, and companions—none can cause harm."

Thus, any dragons, yakshas, spirits, or ghosts—along with their relatives and companions—who harbor evil intentions, waiting for a chance to harm people or create obstacles—even if such beings intend harm, they cannot disturb or confuse those who uphold this sutra. Why is that? Because such people constantly uphold the mantra of the Buddha-Mother, the Sovereign Lady of Wisdom. As for these dragons, spirits, or ghosts that seek to cause harm: if they withdraw and return to their own domains, they will not be permitted to rejoin their kind. Should anyone violate this mantra of the Buddha-Mother or transgress its boundaries, their head will split into seven pieces, like the tip of a basil branch (In Sanskrit, this is called Argamanjarī, meaning the tip of a basil branch; earlier translations that say "A-li tree branch" are incorrect—there is no A-li tree in the West.).

"Furthermore, Ananda, there is a Dharani of the Brilliant King that you should receive and uphold." Then he spoke the Dharani:

Tadyathā: Iri-miri, kinukite-mukite, su-mukite. Anā-nā, su-nā-nā. Varaṣa-tu-dhye vā, parama-ṅata-yām. Ārā-parā-parā. Ghōnu-hi-kā. Iri-miri, pīṅ-ri-kā. Unu-kā, un-nu-kā. Iri-miri, tiri-miri.

Phale, phalā-male. Kulu-kulu, khara-varuṇi. Vele, e ye. Aru-māru.

May all poison be removed, And those who harbor ill intent. Root poisons, venom of fangs, Poisons within food and drink. Through the Buddha's radiant might, May the suffering of poison be cleared.

Sulu-sulu-ke, vara-vara-ke, vāra-ke, viri-hiri. May every poison be dissolved, May harm never come to me.

The seven Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, The perfectly awakened Knowers, Together with their noble disciples— By their power, may all poisons vanish.

Namo Bhagavate Indrāya, gopaśikāya. I-viti-vati-ya, ghōnu-hi-kāya. Briṅgāri-kāya, ari-tari, kum-tari. Ā-śa-ni, pāśa-ni, pāpa-ni-ku-le.

Namo Bhagavatāṁ, Siddhyantu mantra-pada. Svāhā.

The Seven Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, have proclaimed this:

Tadyathā: Omi, li-mi, gi-li vi-li, Keli va-li, Unu-ra, su-nu-mu-me, Mu-sa-ra, hu-hu, Ga-ra-shi, ga-ra-ja-mu-le, I(d)ti-she-va-dā, ku-du-li, Nā-ra-ya-ni, Pa-she-ni, pa-she pa-she-ni, Kapi-ra-va-su-tu, I-ri-vā, sid-dhi-mu, Na-ra-mi-nu, ma-ntra-pa-da svā-hā.

"Furthermore, Ānanda, there are great Yaksha names that have been proclaimed by Brahmā, the lord of the Sahā world, Śakra, the Four Great Kings, and twenty-eight great Yaksha generals: 'Whoever accepts and upholds these great Yaksha names shall, even if ghosts or spirits harbor malicious intent to disturb or harm them, have their heads split into seven pieces, like the tip of a blue lotus.'" Then the names of the Yakshas are recited:

Tadyathā (repeat twice): (1) Kīrti, mucale, eḍu-mucale, (2) Samantamucale, (3) Ānanānane, (4) Kutsānane, (5) Iḍī-midī, (6) Paluḍu—aruṇa-kṣu- (7) Iri-kicīri, (8) Ā-nusi kā, (9) Udusumā, (10) Bida-vaitā.

The Buddha said to Ananda: “When reciting this Sutra of the Great Peacock Wisdom King, speak these words: ‘The Great Peacock Wisdom King, as proclaimed by the Buddha, I pray that through his divine power, he will always protect me, grant me blessings and guidance, take me as his refuge, bring peace and good fortune, and keep me free from all calamities, harm from weapons, poison, or medicine. Now, in accordance with the Dharma, I establish the boundaries of this land and its directions, to eliminate all worries and afflictions. May I live a hundred years, and hope to complete a full century of life.’”

"Furthermore, Ananda, there are great Yaksha kings and their generals who dwell by the great sea, or on Mount Sumeru and other mountains, or in the wilderness, or by rivers, marshes, ponds, and lakes, or in charnel grounds, pits, and caves, or in villages, crossroads, gardens, groves, and forests, or elsewhere. There is the great Yaksha who resides in the realm of King Anavadya. May all of them, with the help of this Mother of Great Peacocks, the Dharani of the Great Peacock Wisdom King, protect me, this person, and all my loved ones, granting us a lifespan of one hundred years." Then the Dharani is spoken:

The Dharani:

Tadyathā Harī, harīṇi Carī, carīṇi Trapaṇi Mohani Sthambhani Sambhani Svāyambhu Svāhā

"Furthermore, Ananda, in the eastern direction there is a great heavenly king named Dhritarashtra. He is the lord of the Gandharvas and is accompanied by countless hundreds of thousands of Gandharvas as his retinue, protecting the east. He has descendants, brothers, generals, ministers, and various servants—such are his multitudes. They too, through this Great Peacock Wisdom King Mother of Dharani, protect me (So-and-so) and my family, dispelling worries and sorrows, so that we may live one hundred years in health and see one hundred autumns. The dharani is:

tadyathā cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra cakra svāhā

Again, Ananda, in the southern region there is a great heavenly king named Virūḍhaka. He is the lord of the Kumbhāṇḍas, and is accompanied by countless hundreds of thousands of Kumbhāṇḍas as his retinue, protecting the south. He has sons, grandsons, brothers, generals, ministers, and various servants. May these beings, too, through this Great Peahen’s Bright King Dhāraṇī—the mother of all Buddhas—protect me ([Name]) and my family, removing sorrow and trouble, granting a lifespan of one hundred years, and allowing us to see one hundred autumns.

The dhāraṇī is:

Tadyathā: Oṃ, vīluki vīluki! Amidarāgata-ni! Vāruṇavati! Vainya-māli-ni! Vaili-ni! Pūtrīke! Cu, cu cī cu! Svāhā!

“Furthermore, Ananda, in the western direction there is a great heavenly king named Virūpākṣa (Broad-Eyed). He is the lord of countless dragons, with hundreds of thousands of dragons as his retinue, guarding the western quarter. He has descendants, brothers, generals, ministers, and various attendants—all these beings. With this Great Peacock Wisdom King's Dhāraṇī, may they also protect me ([Name]) and my family, dispelling our worries and sorrows, so that we may live a full hundred years and see a hundred autumns. The Dhāraṇī is:

*The dhāraṇī text is recited here.*

Tadyathā, veṇure veṇure, mathite mathite, koti koti, vithyu mate, hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu, hulu hulu hulu hulu hulu hulu hulu hulu, tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu, tsa tsa tsa tsa tsa tsa tsa tsa, svāhā.

“Moreover, Ananda, in the northern direction there is a great heavenly king named Vaisravana, who is the lord of the Yakshas. He is attended by countless hundreds of thousands of Yakshas as his retinue, guarding the north. He has sons, grandsons, brothers, generals, ministers, and various servants. All of these beings also use this Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharani to protect me([Name]) and my family, dispelling our worries and distress, so that we may live a hundred years and see a hundred autumns. The Dharani is:”

Tadyathā: Su-li su-li, Shili shili, Mati-hari, Hari-mati, Kari-ri, Hari-ri, Bilu bilu, Bһingili, Julu julu, Duntu-mati, Haritan-visham, Duntu-mati svāhā.

In the East is the King who Holds the Realm, In the South the King of Growth by name, In the West the Broad-Eyed King is hailed, In the North the King of Many a Fame. These Four Great Kings protect the world, renowned, Guarding all directions all around. With mighty armies and majestic might, They subdue outer foes and put them to flight. No enemy can harm, their power is bright, Free from all terror, they dwell in light. When gods and demons in battle contend, These kings lend their aid, and bring peace without end. With such great assemblies, may this sovereign’s grace Protect me and my kin in every place. Grant freedom from sickness, a hundred years long. The Dharani says:

Namo Tadyathaa. E le mi le, Dili mi le, Va shi nu mi nu nu mi. (For rain, recite these four lines.) Va ra sha du ne san man di na. (For calamity relief or wishes: "[Name] and family, may our wishes be fulfilled.") Hiri mili, Don ve du don ve, An da va da, Lu pa ra ma nu va da, Va ra sha du ne wu, Ga ru gan da ya, Don nai du don nai, Su ki mu ki, I li ni, Mi li ni, Hiri hiri, Hulu hulu, Hiri mili, Du li da lu li sva ha.

Peacock Wisdom King Sutra, Roll 1

Peacock Wisdom King Sutra, Volume 2

Translated by the Monk Bukong, Tripitaka Master of Daxingshan Temple, with the Titles of Kaifu Yitong Sans

The Buddha said to Ananda, "You should recite the names of the great Yaksha King and the great Yaksha generals, such as:"

Using this Great Peacock Wisdom King’s mantra, may it also protect me [name] and all my family, dispelling anxiety and sorrow, granting a lifespan of one hundred years, and the blessing to see one hundred autumns. Then the mantra was spoken:

tadyathā oṃ vare vajrakāre matirati caṇḍāri puruṣaṇi vijrimathu gāri mārīṇī caṇḍāli māriṇī hiri hiri āgate gate gandhāri hūṣṇīke kāpali vihariṇī hiri kāmī svāhā

"All these multitudes of merit—the great Yaksa spirits throughout Jambudvipa who protect the Dharma—have awakened compassionate minds. They constantly protect me, [Name], through this Great Peacock Wisdom King's mantra, embracing and blessing me, bringing peace and stability. All calamities and hardships are completely eliminated. Whether harmed by weapons or poison, threatened by kings, thieves, water, or fire, or seized by devas, nagas, yaksas, or ghosts—including all manner of evil spirits and tormenting entities—may they all stay far away from me, [Name], and from all my family. I establish the boundary of the earth and the boundaries of the directions as I recite this sutra. May all sorrow and worry be removed, may my life span reach one hundred years, and may I see one hundred autumns." Then the mantra is spoken:

Tadyathā: Akaṭe, vikaṭe, hariṇī, hāriṇī, dhāraṇī dhāraṇī, huke huke, muke muke.

May all [this person’s name]’s illness and suffering be destroyed: hana hana, hana hana, hana hana, hana hana, hana hana.

Svāhā.

"I pray that all divine beings will always protect me (So-and-so) and my family, granting us a long life of one hundred years, and that we may witness one hundred autumns."

The Buddha told Ananda: "There are also twenty-eight Yaksa generals whose names you should recite. These Yaksa generals can protect all living beings throughout the ten directions and eliminate disasters and difficulties. Four Yaksa generals reside in the east, guarding all beings there and freeing them from sorrow and suffering. Their names are:

"Nigga(pronounced like "neega") Ga(long a) Su Ning Da La(two syllables, drawn out)(second) Bu La Na(two syllables) Jia(third) Jie Bi La(last)."

With this Great Peacock Wisdom King Mother, may the Buddha protect me ([name]), along with all my family, granting a lifespan of one hundred years.(All requests made here follow this same pattern.)

"Ananda, there are four great Yaksha generals dwelling in the South, who protect and shelter all beings in the South, freeing them from sorrow and suffering. Their names are:"

Sangha (1) Upa-sangha (2) Ṣaṅkira (3) Nandana (4)

Through the power of this Great Peacock Wisdom King, the Buddha-Mother, may I ([your name]) and all my loved ones be protected, and may we live for a full hundred years ([state your wish here]).

Ānanda! In the West dwell four great Yaksha generals who protect all beings, freeing them from sorrow and suffering. Their names are:

Through the power of this Great Peacock Wisdom King, the Mother of all Buddhas, may I(Name) and all those close to me be protected, and may we be blessed with a full century of life(Stated request).

Ananda, there are four great Yaksha generals who always dwell on the earth, protecting all earthly beings, helping them to be free from sorrow and suffering. Their names are:

"Step one, Su. Step two, Ka-ra. Step three, Upa-ka-ra."

Through the power of this Great Peacock Wisdom King, the Mother of all Buddhas, may I(Name) and all those close to me be protected, and may we be blessed with a full century of life(Stated request).

"Ananda, there are four great Yaksha generals who dwell permanently in the celestial realm, protecting all beings who live there, freeing them from sorrow and suffering. Their names are:"

To the east, to the south, to the west, to the north, to the sky, and to the earth.

Through the power of this Great Peacock Wisdom King, the Mother of all Buddhas, may I(Name) and all those close to me be protected, and may we be blessed with a full century of life(Stated request).

"Again, Ananda, you should chant the names of the warrior generals, the brothers of the Great King of Knowledge, Vaisravana. They protect all beings, travel through the world to remove disasters, calamities, and sorrows, and bring great benefit. Their names are:"

Indra, Soma, Varuna, Prajapati, Brahma, Narayana, Ishana, Skanda, Kamadeva, Shreshta, Kubaya, Nanda, Kubaya-Ka, Vanimani, Manichara, Pralamba, Pralamanana, Uapamajita, Santagiri, Yamadvata, Purana, Kashmera, Kuvindo, Upalakshya, Ashvapata, Nararaja, Indra-aksha, Pancala-vinda, Sumukhi, Atavi-yaksha, Sadvirijana, Citra-sena, Shvayandava, Triphari, Catul-kandaka, Nigashpti, Svachamatri.

These Yakshas are great commanders of armies, leaders of all spirits, possessing great power, all radiating light, with perfect forms and appearances, renowned far and wide. They are the dharma brothers of Vaisravana, the Heavenly King of Many Hearings. Vaisravana often commands these Yaksha brothers: "If any spirits or ghosts disturb those people, you shall protect them, causing them no trouble or distress, and bring them peace and happiness." Hearing this, the Yakshas faithfully followed the teachings and put them into practice.

These Yaksha generals, through the power of this Great Peacock Wisdom King Buddha-Mother, shall protect me and all my family, granting us a lifespan of one hundred years. If disputes or troubling events arise before me, may the Yaksha generals always safeguard me [Name] and my family, freeing us from sorrow.

Whether we are possessed by devas or nagas, asuras, maruts, garudas, gandharvas, kinnaras, mahoragas, yakshas, or rakshasas; whether we are haunted by pretas, pishachas, bhutas, kumbhandas, putanas, kataputanas, skandas, unmanas, chayas, apasmaras, ustadas, nakshatras, or lepas—whatever spirits or ghosts may possess or haunt us, may the Wisdom King Buddha-Mother always shield me [Name] and my family, freeing us from sorrow and granting us a full lifespan of one hundred years.

There are also various ghosts: those that feed on vital energy, those that feed on fetuses, those that feed on blood, those that feed on flesh, those that feed on fat and marrow, those that feed on raw flesh, those that feed on life force, those that feed on sacrificial offerings, those that feed on breath, those that feed on incense, those that feed on garlands, those that feed on flowers, those that feed on fruit, those that feed on crops, those that feed on fire sacrifices, those that feed on pus, those that feed on feces, those that feed on urine, those that feed on tears and snot, those that feed on saliva, those that feed on nasal mucus, those that feed on leftovers, those that feed on vomit, those that feed on unclean things, those that feed on stagnant water—when such ghosts and spirits cause disturbance and suffering, may the Buddha Mother, the Radiant King, protect me ([Name]) and all my family, freeing us from sorrow and hardship, granting us a full lifespan of one hundred years, allowing us to see one hundred autumns, and constantly enjoy peace and happiness.

If anyone creates curses, poisons, evil prayers, or spells, performing wicked acts such as: *kirṭika*, *karmaṇa*, *kakulinā*, *kīraṇa*, *vaitaraṇa*, *havanāta*, *utkaṭāta*, drinking others' blood and marrow, controlling people like slaves, summoning ghosts and spirits, committing evil deeds, causing harmful eating, harmful vomiting, harmful shadows, harmful glances, writing malicious talismans, performing malicious leaps and jumps, or engaging in malicious ambushes and offenses—when they commit these evil acts, may they all be protected from harming me ([Name]) and my family, freeing us from sorrow and hardship.

There are also various terrors: terror from kings, terror from thieves, terror from water and fire, terror from foreign armies, terror from wicked friends who rob and kill, terror from enemies, terror from famine, terror from untimely death, terror from earthquakes, terror from savage beasts—when such terrors arise, may they all be guarded against for me ([Name]).

Furthermore, all manner of illnesses: scabies, ringworm, eczema, hemorrhoids, abscesses, boils and ulcers; dark and rough skin; indigestion; headaches and migraines; eye, ear, and nose aches; mouth, lip, cheek, tooth, and tongue pains; sore throats; chest, rib, and back pains; heart and stomach aches; lower back and abdominal pains; hip and knee aches; or pains in the four limbs; pains in private parts; emaciation and wasting diseases; pain throughout the entire body—may all such pains be completely eliminated.

Also, all types of malaria: those recurring every one day, two days, three days, four days, up to every seven days, half a month, or a month; or those that come frequently or only last a moment; as well as constant fevers; deviation (stroke) and goiter; fevers caused by demons; ailments of wind, bile, and phlegm; fevers arising from combinations of the three bodily humors; and all the four hundred and four diseases—may all such diseases be completely eradicated.

I now bind and establish this boundary of the earth, this boundary of the cardinal directions. By reciting this scripture, may safety and peace be obtained. Svāhā.

He then spoke a verse, saying:

Next, Ananda, there are twelve great female spirits called Pisacas. You should call out their names. These spirit women always protect the Bodhisattva while he is in the womb, when he is born, and after his birth. Their names are:

Emptyness, Emptiness, Perfect Emptiness, Radiance, Joy, Profound Joy, Joy like the moon, Joyful dancer, Dancer of illusions, The mother of all beginnings, The undivided, The one who cuts through confusion.

"These demon goddesses possess great spiritual power and brilliant light. Their bodies are perfect in form, and their fame spreads everywhere. When the gods and asuras wage war, they display immense might. Through this Great Peacock Wisdom King's sacred mantra, they will protect me ((this person)) and all my family, granting us a lifespan of one hundred years." The mantra is:

Ta-dya-tha,

Sva s-ti, sva s-ti, sva s-ti, sva s-ti,

Sva-ha.

Ānanda, there are also eight female spirits whose names should be recited. These spirits constantly protect the Bodhisattva during pregnancy, at birth, and after birth. Their names are:

manas, being itself. One consciousness arises from suchness. Two, the mind's movement is restless. Three, conditions arise and converge. Four, dependent arising unfolds. Five, grasping attaches to the world. Six, craving burns and clings. Seven, the self clings to its own existence. Eight, the sacred abode of awareness.

"These female spirits possess great spiritual powers, emit magnificent light, have perfect forms and appearances, and are renowned everywhere. When the celestial beings and asuras battle, these spirits display great might. They, too, through this Great Peacock Wisdom King's true mantra, protect me ([Name]) and all my family, granting us a lifespan of one hundred years." The mantra is:
