The Ritual Manual for Reciting the Dhāraṇī of the Bodhisattva Aśvaghoṣa with Incomparable and Miraculous Great Power, translated by the eminent Tang-dynasty esoteric master Vajrabodhi. This scripture belongs to the esoteric Buddhist canon, originating during the period of integration between Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism and esoteric teachings, and was transmitted to China in the Tang dynasty. Its main content details the ritual procedures for obtaining immense spiritual power and efficacy—such as eliminating calamities, removing obstacles, increasing merit, and enhancing wisdom—through reciting the name of Bodhisattva Aśvaghoṣa and esoteric mantras. This scripture reflects the characteristic esoteric emphasis on ritual and practice, serves as an important text for studying the early dissemination of esoteric methods and the devotion to Bodhisattva Aśvaghoṣa, and holds a unique position within the Chinese esoteric Buddhist tradition.

馬鳴菩薩大神力無比驗法念誦軌儀
金剛智奉 詔譯
曩日釋迦如來菩提樹下坐,大眾集會中。時馬鳴菩薩前白佛言:「欲說我莊嚴佛法,及為成像末貧窮下賤裸形眾生有情衣服,歷無數劫行菩薩行所得大神呪,有大威德,色力無比,能於世間行殊勝事無能礙罣。」時即佛微㗛告馬鳴菩薩言:「善哉!大丈夫!汝速可說可說。」「唯然。世尊愍念我聽說。」合掌歡喜從口中放大光明,說光中神呪曰:
「曩謨三曼多沒他那迦迦馬鳴吃哩吒囉佉吒囉佉莎縛訶」
「若欲受持此法,先從師盡財利布施供給,受習印契真言。則畫作菩薩像,色相白肉色而合掌,坐白蓮華,乘白馬,著白色衣,以瓔珞莊嚴身,首戴花冠,垂右足。畫像了,泥壇。始自三月三日,東面像向西,以種種廣大供具、蘇乳蘇燈供養。二十八日乃至百日,須清淨潔淨。比丘及傳法利生之師,恩不已失,時我常檀那家及國土放大光明,成就錦繡羅綿財絹縺緻之類,金寶積如山岳,世間受用咨(矣)。
「若有一國一人修行,我本誓故,普天率土民家皆悉如前所說,財利莊嚴具成就。一人莫乏有患,我本願皆悉為莊嚴財寶。於若法至疑惑之心,發起不信之念,不成就一世之願故,後世之果不定。好好以堅固之情歸於法,非忌傳授之德,我必日日時時加護念,圓滿世間第一妙樂之財利。如向所說,係念本誓,向寶壇前作契印念誦。屈左中指無名指,以大母指押彼二指甲,舒頭指及小指安心上,右手把數珠念真言,此名玉環成就一切所願印。此契印,末代愚學之妄,不可記於文字。萬人中撰十人,十人之中撰一人,許可(矣)。」
