爾時世尊言：「此大毘盧遮那如來瑜伽大教，若有善男子樂欲修習諸成就法者，應於是教尊那菩薩大明法中一心專注精懃修習，於所願求無不成就。若有行人欲作最上殊勝成就者，先於大海岸邊誦尊那菩薩根本大明，造沙塔六洛叉，得數滿已，於所求事必獲成就。
At that time, the World-Honored One said: “This great Vairocana Tathāgata Yoga teaching — if virtuous men wish to cultivate the practices that lead to various accomplishments, in the Great Mantra of Cundā, they should focus their minds single-heartedly and diligently. Whatever they desire will be achieved without fail.
“If a practitioner wishes to attain the supreme and highest accomplishment, they should first recite the Root Mantra of Cundā by the seashore, and build a sand stupa six hundred thousand times. Once this is completed, whatever they seek will certainly be realized.”
「復次若欲求見觀自在菩薩、或多羅菩薩、或金剛手菩薩等，如前修習，是諸菩薩必為現身，安慰行人與滿所願，乃至或作敬愛等法、或求種種聖藥、或求阿蘇囉王位、或求持明天位，如是之事必獲成就。若久久修習專注不退，乃至菩薩之位亦可獲得。
"Furthermore, if you wish to see Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, or Tārā Bodhisattva, or Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva, and so on, then practice as explained before. These Bodhisattvas will surely appear before you, comfort you, and fulfill all your wishes. Whether you seek methods for winning affection or respect, or desire various sacred medicines, or aspire to the rank of the Asura king, or wish to attain the state of a celestial being, all such aims will be achieved. If you practice diligently and persistently without retreat, you may even attain the state of a Bodhisattva."
「復次行人若於佛塔前或菩提道場，所持誦大明一俱胝，誦數滿已，得阿羅漢現身與語，獲大利益。此後與阿羅漢同行，亦同其威德。又復行人往前正覺山頂，於佛塔前常持鉢食，誦大明一俱胝，誦數滿已，得見金剛手菩薩。菩薩自引行人入吉祥門，告行人言：『汝入此門，無諸魔難，所求願滿，離一切怖，受大快樂，而於將來得見慈氏，聞說妙法證菩薩地乃至或得阿吠嚩哩底迦菩薩之位。』又復行人或往尾補羅山頂，一切潔淨常持鉢食，於有舍利像前隨力備辦香花燈塗而作供養，誦大明三洛叉。至數滿已，行人別備廣大供養，行人倍加潔淨齋戒。至十五日，竟日連夜持誦不輟，金剛手菩薩決定現身，引接行人往自本宮及遊吉祥門，令行人入，得延壽命齊於日月。又復行人往三道寶堦佛塔之處，常持鉢食右遶佛塔，誦大明一俱胝。誦數滿已，得見無能勝及訶利帝等，所求如意。其訶利帝接引行人，往自本宮與種種聖藥。其無能勝現身，為行人說法，令證菩提道及授與聖藥，變行人身具殊勝相，及得一切菩薩接引證道，乃至速坐菩提道場。此尊那大明，乃是一切如來及諸菩薩同所宣說，能與眾生作大利益，乃至獲得無上正等正覺。
Moreover, if a practitioner, before a Buddha stupa or at the site of enlightenment, recites this Great Mantra [大明] one million times, once the count is complete, an Arhat will appear and speak to them, granting great benefit. From then on, the practitioner will walk alongside that Arhat, sharing in their dignity and virtue.
Furthermore, if a practitioner goes to the summit of Vulture Peak [正覺山] and, before a Buddha stupa, always keeps a simple meal in their bowl and recites the Great Mantra one million times, once the count is complete, they will behold Vajrasattva [金剛手菩薩]. The Bodhisattva will personally lead the practitioner through the Door of Auspiciousness, saying: “Enter this door. There will be no demonic obstacles. All your wishes will be fulfilled. You will be free from every fear, experience great bliss, and in the future you will meet Maitreya [慈氏], hear the sublime Dharma, realize the Bodhisattva stages, and even attain the stage of an irreversible Bodhisattva [阿吠嚩哩底迦菩薩].”
Alternatively, if a practitioner goes to the summit of Vipula Mountain [尾補羅山], maintains perfect purity, always carries a simple meal in their bowl, and before a statue containing relics offers incense, flowers, lamps, and ointments according to their means while reciting the Great Mantra three hundred thousand times—once the count is complete, having prepared a vast offering and maintained even stricter purity and fasting—on the fifteenth day, they should recite continuously day and night without pause. Vajrasattva will definitely appear and lead the practitioner to his own palace and through the Door of Auspiciousness, allowing them to enter. This will extend their lifespan equal to the sun and moon.
Furthermore, if a practitioner goes to the stupa of the Three Precious Stairs [三道寶堦佛塔], always keeps a simple meal in their bowl, circumambulates the stupa to the right, and recites the Great Mantra one million times, once the count is complete, they will behold Aparājita [無能勝] and Hārītī [訶利帝], and their wishes will be granted. Hārītī will lead the practitioner to her own palace and present them with various sacred medicines. Aparājita will appear and teach the Dharma, guiding them to realize the path of enlightenment, give them sacred medicines, transform the practitioner’s body with supreme qualities, and cause all Bodhisattvas to guide them on the path, enabling them to quickly take their seat at the site of enlightenment.
This Cundā [尊那] Great Mantra has been equally proclaimed by all Tathāgatas [如來] and all Bodhisattvas. It brings great benefit to all beings, eventually leading to the attainment of unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment [無上正等正覺].
「復次若有眾生作大惡業、無有善種，於菩提心無由生起，菩提分法永不獲得。如是之人忽遇知識，誦此大明一歷耳根，重罪減劣、善種即生。何況行人恒常持誦專注精懃，如是之人求成就者決定獲得。」
"Furthermore, there may be beings who have committed great evil deeds, lacking any seeds of goodness, so that the mind of enlightenment cannot arise in them, and they will never attain the factors of enlightenment. Such a person may suddenly encounter a spiritual teacher and hear this great mantra just once with his ears. His heavy sins will diminish and weaken, and seeds of goodness will then grow in him. How much more so for a practitioner who constantly recites and focuses on this with diligent effort. Such a person who seeks accomplishment will definitely attain it."
