第三西方金剛利菩薩
Chapter 3: Western Vajra Sharp Bodhisattva
經：西方金剛利菩薩摩訶薩，手持金剛劍，放金色光，與四俱胝菩薩往護其國。
Scripture: The honored Vajra Sharp Hero Bodhisattva, holding a vajra sword and radiating golden light, went with forty million Bodhisattvas to protect that country.
解曰：言金剛利者，如彼經云文殊師利菩薩也。依前法輪，現勝妙身，正智圓滿得自在故。手持金剛劍者，示其所作能斷自他俱生障故。依教令輪，現作威怒六足金剛，手臂各六，坐水牛上，摧伏一切諸惡毒龍，興惡風雨損有情者，令調伏故。放金色光者，顯能除遣惡龍等也。與彼西方廣目天王及無量諸龍、富單那眾而為眷屬。與四俱胝菩薩往護其國。
Explanation: The Vajra-Sharp mentioned here refers to the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī as described in that scripture. Following the Wheel of Doctrine, he manifests a sublime and wondrous body, perfectly accomplished in true wisdom and attaining freedom. The vajra sword he holds symbolizes his capacity to cut through the congenital obstructions of both self and others. According to the Wheel of Command, he manifests as the wrathful Six-Foot Vajra (Ṣaḍpada), with six arms, seated upon a water buffalo, subduing all evil venomous dragons that bring fierce winds and storms to harm sentient beings, thereby taming them. His golden radiance signifies the ability to dispel such evil dragons. His retinue includes the Heavenly King Virūpākṣa of the West, along with countless dragons and Peṭa spirits. Together with forty million bodhisattvas, he protects the ruler’s kingdom.
