Sutra of the Mother of All Constellations
沙門法成於甘州脩多寺譯
Translated by the Shramana Facheng at Xiuduosi Temple in Ganzhou
如是我聞：
Thus I have heard:
一時薄伽梵住於曠野大聚落中，諸天及龍、藥叉、羅剎、乾闥婆、阿須羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、莫呼落迦諸魔，日、月、熒或、太白、鎮星、餘星、歲星、羅睺、長尾星神、二十八宿諸大眾等，悉皆讚歎諸大金剛誓願之句，威加莊嚴師子座上，與諸菩薩同會一處，其名曰金剛手菩薩摩訶薩、金剛忿怒菩薩摩訶薩、金剛部菩薩摩訶薩、金剛弓菩薩摩訶薩、金剛主菩薩摩訶薩、金剛莊嚴菩薩摩訶薩、金剛光菩薩摩訶薩、觀自在菩薩摩訶薩、普見菩薩摩訶薩、世間吉祥菩薩摩訶薩、蓮華幢菩薩摩訶薩、廣面菩薩摩訶薩、華眼菩薩摩訶薩、妙吉祥菩薩摩訶薩、慈氏菩薩摩訶薩等，諸大菩薩僧前後圍遶瞻仰說法，其法名為廣大莊嚴如意寶珠，初中後善、句義美妙、無雜清淨、清白梵行。
Thus I have heard.
At one time, the Blessed One was dwelling in a great gathering place in the wilderness. All the gods, dragons, yakshas, rakshasas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, demons, and the great assemblies of the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Comet deities, and the twenty-eight lunar mansions all praised the vows of the great Vajra beings. There, seated on a lion throne majestic with power and grace, the Blessed One gathered together with the bodhisattvas. Their names were: Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajrakrodha Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajrakula Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajradhanus Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajreśa Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajravyūha Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Vajraprabha Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Samanta-darśana Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Lokamaṅgala Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Padma-dhvaja Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Viśāla-mukha Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Puṣpa-netra Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, and others. These great bodhisattvas surrounded him in front and behind, gazing at him in reverence as he taught the Dharma. This Dharma was called "The Great and Majestic Wish-Fulfilling Jewel." It was excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end. Its words and meanings were sublime, pure, untainted, and a completely virtuous way of life.
爾時金剛手菩薩觀於大眾從座而起，以自神力旋遶世尊數百千匝，作禮前住自具倚持，以善跏趺瞻視大眾，以金剛掌安自心上而白佛言：「世尊！有其惡星，色刑極惡，具猛利心，色刑忿怒，惱亂有情，奪其精氣或奪財物或奪於命，長壽有情令作短壽，如是惱亂一切有情。為是等故，唯願世尊關顯法門，守護一切有情之類。」世尊告曰：「善哉善哉！汝興大悲，為利一切諸有情故，問於如來甚深密義。汝今諦聽，善思念之，我當說其惡星瞋怒破壞之法，及說供養行施念誦祕密之義。
At that time, the Vajra-being looked out over the assembly, rose from his seat, and used his own spiritual power to circle the World-Honored One hundreds of thousands of times. He then made a full bow, stood before him with confidence, sat in a graceful cross-legged posture, and gazed upon the gathering. Placing his diamond-like palm over his heart, he said to the Buddha: “World-Honored One, there are malevolent stars with terrifying appearances, fierce and wrathful in nature. They disturb living beings, robbing them of their vitality, their wealth, or even their lives. They cause long-lived beings to die young, bringing chaos to all living things. For the sake of all beings, I pray that the World-Honored One will reveal the Dharma-door to protect them.” The World-Honored One replied: “Excellent, excellent! Out of great compassion, and for the benefit of all beings, you have asked the Tathagata about this profound and hidden meaning. Listen well and remember this. I will now explain the methods to counter the wrath of malignant stars, as well as the secret teachings of offerings, giving, and recitation.”
「若行供養當供養， 若作其惡當作惡，
如是諸星刑色等， 云何而令生歡喜？
諸天及與諸非天， 緊那羅等及諸龍，
諸藥叉等并羅剎， 人及迦多富多那，
猛利威德諸大神， 瞋怒云何而殄滅？
祕密言辭供養法， 今當次第而宣說。」
"If you wish to make offerings, then make offerings. If you wish to do evil, then do evil. In such ways do the stars, punishments, and colors manifest— How then could they bring about joy?
The devas and the asuras, The kinnaras and the nagas, The yakshas and the rakshasas, Humans and the kumbhandas,
These mighty and terrifying great spirits— How can their wrath be calmed? The secret words and offering methods Shall now be explained in order."
爾時釋迦如來從自心上而放慈心遊戲光明，入於諸星頂髻足中。尋時日月一切星神從座而起，以諸天供即以供養釋迦如來，膝輪著地合掌作禮而白佛言：「世尊！如來應供正真等覺利益我等，唯願世尊宣說法門，令於我等而聚集已，守衛防護說法之師，令得吉慶、遠離刀杖，消滅毒藥作結界。」
At that time, Shakyamuni Tathagata emitted from his own heart a playful light of loving-kindness, which entered into the crowns and feet of all the star deities. Immediately, all the gods of the sun, moon, and stars rose from their seats, made offerings to Shakyamuni Tathagata with celestial tributes, knelt on the ground, pressed their palms together, and said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, you benefit us all. We humbly ask you to expound the Dharma teaching, so that when we have gathered, we may protect and defend the teacher of the Dharma, bringing him good fortune, keeping him far from swords and weapons, dispelling poisons, and creating a sanctuary."
爾時釋迦如來即便為說供養星法及以密言陀羅尼曰：
At that time, Shakyamuni Buddha then taught them the method of making offerings to the stars and this sacred mantra:
「唵謨呼羅迦耶莎訶 唵尸儅奢蔽莎訶唵落落當伽俱麼囉也莎訶 唵報䫂也報䫂也莎訶 唵報伽阿悉婆䫂世莎訶 唵訶須囉薩多麼也莎訶 唵吃哩悉囊簸囉那也莎訶 唵阿蜜多畢哩耶莎訶 唵藉底羯多蔽莎訶」
Om, homage to the Kinnara! Svaha! Om, homage to the brilliant one! Svaha! Om, homage to the radiant Kumara! Svaha! Om, homage to the protector, the protector! Svaha! Om, homage to the blessed one, the lord of the world! Svaha! Om, homage to the one with the divine serpent's multitudes! Svaha! Om, homage to the one who holds the radiant jewel! Svaha! Om, homage to the one of immortal friendship! Svaha! Om, homage to the one who has attained the highest state! Svaha!
「金剛手！此則是彼八星祕密心呪，讀便成辦。當作十二指一色香壇中安供養，或瓦或銅金銀等器奉獻供養，一一供養當誦一百八遍。金剛手！然後誦此諸星母陀羅尼祕密言辭滿足七遍，一切諸星而作守護，所有貧窮悉得解脫，命將欲盡而得長壽。金剛手！若苾芻、苾芻尼、烏波索迦、烏波斯迦及餘有情之類，若歷耳根而不中夭。金剛手！諸星壇中設供養已，每日而讀誦者，彼說法師一切諸星如彼所願悉令滿足，與彼同類貧匱諸事皆得消滅。」
"Vajrapani! This is the secret heart mantra of those eight stars. Recite it and it will be accomplished. Prepare an eleven-finger-wide fragrant offering altar—or use a vessel made of clay, copper, gold, or silver—and make offerings. For each offering, recite the mantra one hundred and eight times. Vajrapani! Then recite this Mother of All Stars Dharani and its secret words seven full times. All the stars will then provide protection. Those who are poor will be freed from poverty. Those whose lives are nearly over will gain long life. Vajrapani! If a monk, nun, layman, or laywoman—or any other living being—hears this with their own ears, they will not die a premature death. Vajrapani! When you have made offerings in the star altar and recite this daily, the teaching master will have all of the stars fulfill their wishes, and all matters of poverty and lack will be eliminated for them."
爾時釋迦如來即便為說諸星母陀羅尼，即說呪曰：
At that time, the Tathagata Shakyamuni immediately taught them the Dharani of the Mother of All Stars, and spoke this mantra:
「南謨佛陀耶 南謨婆桚囉馱羅耶 南麼鉢麼達囉耶 南麼薩婆迦囉訶 南麼薩婆阿奢波囉甫迦喃 南謨諾奢多囉喃 南謨埵爹奢囉尸喃 怛也沒底沒底 簸窒囉簸窒囉 鉢明鉢明 娑囉娑囉 鉢娑囉鉢娑囉三婆囉三婆囉 基多耶基多耶 麼囉麼囉 麼訖陀麼訖陀 伽䫂耶 薩婆碧建俱嚕俱嚕 晉那晉那 乞舍波耶乞舍波耶扇胝𭥐低䫂麼耶䫂麼曳 咄嚕多儞達奢耶羯麼喃 薄伽薄帝 落叉耶落叉耶麼那婆波哩波藍 娑囉波薩都王悉荼薩婆吃訶 那乞奢多囉 陂多麼簸儞 簸囉儞 簸囉薄伽薄底 麼訶摩曳 薩馱耶咄悉荼麼奢耶 波波儞 麼贊底贊底 都嚕都嚕 贊底謀榆謀榆 資謀資謀訶婆訶蔽 屋吃哩屋吃訶 爹迷甫囉耶迷 末努多藍 薩婆[怡-台+(日/工)]他迦多 阿低悉低 娑麼耶莎訶 唵莎訶 吽莎訶 紇哩莎訶 吽莎訶[怡-台+(日/工)]航莎訶 鉢麼䫂囉莎訶 阿窒哆耶莎訶 蘇磨耶莎訶䫂囉儞須多耶莎訶沒他耶莎訶 勃多悉波低曳莎訶𬿟伽囉耶沙訶 吃奢那跋那耶莎訶 囉訶蔽莎訶𪁰多蔽莎訶 沒他耶莎訶 簸桚囉達囉耶莎訶 鉢麼䫂囉莎訶 拘麼囉耶莎訶諾乞沙多囉難莎訶 薩婆鳥鉢多囉簸難莎訶 唵薩婆簸比底叭叭莎訶」
I take refuge in the Buddha. I take refuge in the Dharma, the truth revealed. I take refuge in the Sangha, the community of practitioners. I take refuge in all the celestial beings. I take refuge in all the powers of the universe. I take refuge in the seven stars. I take refuge in the guardians of the directions.
Deep and profound, deep and profound. Purify, purify. Shine forth, shine forth. Flow, flow. Spread, spread. Radiate everywhere, radiate everywhere. Root of goodness, root of goodness. Destroy, destroy. Utterly destroy, utterly destroy. Burn away all harm.
Act, act. Illuminate, illuminate. Dispel misfortune, dispel misfortune. Calm and settle. May all be as I wish. May all the wandering stars and constellations be peaceful. May all suffering be stilled.
O mighty one, O great one, Complete awakening, supreme peace. Wash away, wash away all wrongdoing. Extinguish all evil.
Blazing, blazing. Powerful, powerful. Victorious, victorious. Glorious, glorious.
Refuge, refuge. I bow to all the Tathagatas—the Thus-Come Ones. By their grace, may it be accomplished. Om, may it be so. Hum, may it be so. Hri, may it be so. Hum, may it be so. Hang, may it be so. May the lotus-grounded one prevail. May the invincible one prevail. May the radiant moon prevail. May the wish-fulfilling gem prevail. May the enlightened one prevail. May the awakened being prevail. May the joyful one prevail. May the pure and peaceful one prevail. May the shining one prevail.
I pay homage to the Lotus Holder, the Dharma King. I pay homage to the youthful one. I pay homage to the constellations. I pay homage to all the stellar deities. Om, may every obstacle be utterly destroyed. So be it.
「金剛手！此是諸星母陀羅尼祕密呪句，成辦一切諸事根本。金剛手！此陀羅尼祕密呪句，從於九月白月七日而起於首，具足長淨，至十四日供養諸星。而受持之月十五日，若能晝夜而讀誦者，至滿九年無其死畏，亦無星流墮落怖畏，亦無月宿作惡怖畏，而憶宿命，亦能供養一切諸星，一切諸星隨其所願而授與之。」爾時諸星禮世尊已，讚言善哉，忽然不現。
"Vajrapani! This is the secret mantra of the Star Mother Dhāraṇī, the foundation for accomplishing all matters. Vajrapani! This secret mantra originates from the seventh day of the bright fortnight of the ninth month. One should observe complete purification and, on the fourteenth day, make offerings to the stars. Then, on the fifteenth day, if one recites it day and night, for nine full years they need not fear death, nor dread falling stars, nor fear evil deeds from the moon and constellations. They will remember past lives and be able to make offerings to all the stars. The stars will grant whatever they wish." Then the stars, after venerating the World-Honored One, praised him, saying, "Well done," and suddenly vanished.
