佛說大如意寶珠輪牛王守護神呪經
The Sutra of the Great Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Wheel and the Ox-King Protective Deity Spoken by the Buddha
阿謨伽三藏奉詔譯
Translated by Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra at imperial command
如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時佛在波羅捺鹿野園中，為阿若拘隣等五人轉四諦法輪。時會中有一天子，名曰牛王神，即從座起，曲躬合掌，頂禮雙足，而白佛言：「世尊！我有隨心自在萬事滿足神呪，及利益諸有情故，唯願世尊哀愍聽許我今欲說大神呪。」
Once, the Buddha was staying at the Deer Park in Varanasi, where he was turning the Wheel of the Dharma on the Four Noble Truths for the five monks, including Ajnata Kaundinya. At that time, in the assembly, there was a celestial being named Ox-King Spirit. He rose from his seat, bowed respectfully with palms together, prostrated at the Buddha's feet, and said to him: "World-Honored One! I have a sacred spell that brings fulfillment of desires and complete satisfaction, and that benefits all sentient beings. Out of compassion, I ask you to allow me to teach this great spell."
爾時佛讚言：「善哉！速可演說，我欲聞。」
The Buddha then praised him, saying: "Excellent! Please teach it quickly. I am eager to hear it."
是時天子即說呪曰：
At that time, the heavenly prince pronounced this mantra:
「唵悉底嚕悉底嚕(利)伴惹伴惹[言*曩]謨履底伽補瑟底伽阿毗遮阿毗遮真多摩尼莎賀」
Om, the turmoil is pacified, the turmoil is pacified. Calm the restless, calm the restless. Resolve confusion, remove all obstacles. With unwavering mind and the jewel of truth, realize the pure state. So be it.
時薄伽梵聞說神呪，普觀一切，為諸有情利益安樂故，而說偈言：
At that time, the Blessed One, having heard this sacred mantra, looked upon all beings with compassion. For the benefit and happiness of all living beings, he spoke these verses:
「世間諸眾生， 逼切諸貧苦， 雖求資有福，
施與諸眾生， 令得無憂惱； 術力勝諸獸，
哀愍諸眾生， 施與諸珍寶， 滿足諸希求，
齊等諸天眾， 福力無等限。」
"All beings in this world, Oppressed by poverty and hardship, Though they seek wealth and fortune,
They should give to others, Helping them find freedom from worry. Using skillful means, they surpass all creatures,
Compassionate toward all beings, They share precious treasures, Fulfilling everyone's deepest wishes,
Equal to the heavenly beings, Their merit and power are boundless and immeasurable."
時薄伽仙、毗吉那仙，以歡喜信樂心，奉獻種種香華、燈明，四事供養等，敬禮牛王神珠天，而說偈言：
At that time, the Venerable Deity and the Queen of Wisdom, with joyful faith and sincere hearts, offered various fragrant flowers, lamps, and the four kinds of necessities as offerings. They paid homage to the Deity of the Ox-King Divine Pearl and recited a verse:
「塗香華鬘及燒香， 燈明飲食與錢帛，
奉獻牛王神獸天， 納受悅預增勢力。
威德神通遍諸色， 成種種色諸財寶，
施與一切眾生類， 故我供養神獸天。」
"Fragrant paste, garlands of flowers, and incense, Bright lamps, food and drink, and offerings of coins and silk, These we offer to the Ox King, the divine celestial-- May they be received with joy, and increase his sacred power.
His majesty and spiritual powers pervade all forms, Creating every kind of wealth and treasure, Bestowed upon all living beings, And so I make offerings to the Divine Celestial."
復次，牛王珠天白佛言：「世尊！若有諸善男子、善女人受持此經者，彼獲幾所福德聚？」如是說已，佛告牛王珠：「受持此經典者，從初發心乃至成佛，身所有福德聚，是善男子、善女人福德聚與彼正等。當如是知：彼善男子、善女人從如來口生佛心之子。若是善男子、善女人所方所，即為有佛施作佛事。是故若樂摧破魔軍利樂一切，是故汝等欲得一切如來真實智惠者，應當一心讀誦此經，能速成就一切福德。又於題名，有五種靈驗。何等為五？第一，受持人能摧破魔軍眾；第二，讀誦人今世、後世得福德無量；第三，書寫、供養人今世、後世得消滅無量億劫之所犯罪，至阿鼻拔致位；第四，消除一切病苦，壽命延長；第五，得此寶珠一闕之分，致供養祭讀誦恭敬者，生生世世轉諸貧苦報，能令得祕藏無盡果。」
Furthermore, the King of Ox-Headed Pearls addressed the Buddha, saying, "World-Honored One, if there are good men and good women who uphold this sutra, how many collections of merit will they obtain?" After these words, the Buddha told the King of Ox-Headed Pearls: "Those who uphold this sutra will have a collection of merit equal to the collection of merit a person accumulates from their initial aspiration for enlightenment all the way to becoming a Buddha. You should know this: those good men and good women are children born from the Buddha's mouth, born of the Buddha's mind. Wherever these good men and good women dwell, there is a Buddha performing Buddha's work. Therefore, if you wish to destroy the armies of Mara and benefit all beings, if you wish to attain the true wisdom of all Tathagatas, you should single-mindedly recite and uphold this sutra. This will quickly accomplish all merit. Moreover, concerning the title, there are five spiritual effects. What are the five? First, those who uphold it can destroy the armies of Mara. Second, those who recite it will gain infinite merit in this life and the next. Third, those who copy or make offerings to it will, in this life and the next, eliminate evil deeds committed over countless eons, reaching the stage of irreversibility. Fourth, it eliminates all illnesses and suffering, and prolongs life. Fifth, possessing even one portion of this jewel and making offerings, recitations, and paying respect, will transform the karmic retribution of poverty in life after life, enabling one to obtain the inexhaustible fruit of the secret treasury."
爾時佛說此神呪經已，一切眾會，皆大歡喜，信受奉行。
After the Buddha had finished teaching this sacred mantra scripture, the entire assembly was filled with great joy. They received the teaching with faith and resolved to put it into practice.
