Thus I have heard:
一時佛在難陀優婆難陀龍王宮內，住大威德摩尼之藏大雲輪殿寶樓閣中，與大比丘及諸菩薩摩訶薩眾周匝圍繞，復有無量諸大龍王。

有如是等諸大龍王而為上首，復有八十四億那由他數諸龍王俱同來彼會。
Among them were great dragon kings such as these at the forefront, along with another eighty-four billion nayuta number of dragon kings, all gathering together at that assembly.
時彼一切諸龍王等從坐而起，各整衣服偏袒右臂，右膝著地合掌向佛，即以種種無量無邊阿僧祇數微妙香華、塗香末香、華冠衣服、寶幢幡蓋、龍華寶冠、真珠瓔珞、寶華繒綵、真珠羅網、雜珮旒蘇覆如來上，作眾妓樂擊掌歌讚，起大殷重奇特之心，繞百千匝却住一面。
Then all the dragon kings rose from their seats, adjusted their robes, bared their right shoulders, knelt on their right knees, and pressed their palms together facing the Buddha. They offered upon the Tathagata countless, boundless, and immeasurable subtle fragrant flowers, anointing oils, fragrant powders, floral crowns, garments, jeweled banners, canopies, dragon-flower jeweled crowns, true-pearl necklaces, jeweled flowers and silk streamers, nets of real pearls, and various tasseled ornaments. They made music, clapped their hands, and sang praises, stirring a profound and extraordinary reverence in their hearts. After circumambulating him hundreds of thousands of times, they withdrew to one side and stood.
爾時諸龍住一面已咸發願言：「願以一切諸世界海微塵身海、一切諸佛菩薩眾海、遍於一切諸世界海、已過所有一切四大地水火風微塵等海、所有一切諸色光明微塵數海、已過無量無不可思議不可宣說阿僧祇數諸身等海，於一一身化作無量阿僧祇諸手海雲遍滿十方，又於一一微塵分中化出無量供養海雲遍滿十方，將以供養一切諸佛菩薩眾海恒不斷絕，如是無量不可思議不可宣說阿僧祇數普賢菩薩行身海雲遍滿虛空住持不絕。如是菩薩諸身海雲，所謂一切輪相海雲、一切寶冠海雲、一切大明寶藏輦海雲、一切末香樹藏海雲、一切香煙現諸色海雲、一切諸樂音聲海雲、一切香樹海雲，諸如是等無量無邊不可思議不可宣說阿僧祇數如是一切供養海雲，遍滿虛空住持不絕，供養恭敬尊重禮拜一切諸佛菩薩眾海。
At that time, the dragons, having gathered to one side, all made a vow, saying: “We vow to manifest, throughout all worlds in the ocean of realms, bodies as numerous as the atoms in the ocean of worlds—a sea of bodies as vast as all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ocean of beings. Having already surpassed all oceans of atoms of earth, water, fire, and wind in the four elements, and all oceans of atoms of color and light, we have already gone beyond countless, inconceivable, inexpressible, and immeasurable numbers of oceans of bodies. From each body, we transform into countless, measureless hands—a cloud sea filling the ten directions. From within each atom, we further manifest countless clouds of offerings, filling the ten directions, to make offerings to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in their ocean-like multitudes, ceaselessly and without end. In this way, the clouds of Samantabhadra’s oceanic practice-bodies, countless, inconceivable, inexpressible, and immeasurable, fill the entire sky, abiding and never ceasing.
These oceanic clouds of Bodhisattva bodies include: the cloud sea of all marks and signs, the cloud sea of all jeweled crowns, the cloud sea of all great radiant treasure chariots, the cloud sea of all incense-tree treasuries, the cloud sea of all fragrant smoke manifesting various colors, the cloud sea of all musical sounds, and the cloud sea of all incense trees. Such countless, boundless, inconceivable, inexpressible, and immeasurable clouds of offerings fill the entire sky, abiding and never ceasing, making offerings, honoring, respecting, and paying homage to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in their ocean-like multitudes.”

These clouds filled the entire sky without cease, making offerings, honoring, respecting, and paying homage to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in their vast oceanic assemblies.
爾時此眾八十四億百千那由他諸龍王等作是願已，繞佛三匝頭面作禮，於一面立。是時佛告諸龍王言：「汝等龍王各宜復坐。」時諸龍王聞佛語已，各各還依次第而坐。
At that time, the eighty-four billion, hundreds of thousands, and *navuta* of dragon kings in that assembly made their vows, then circumambulated the Buddha three times, bowed their heads to his feet, and stood to one side. Then the Buddha said to the dragon kings, "Each of you, dragon kings, should sit down again." Upon hearing the Buddha's words, the dragon kings each returned to their seats in order.
爾時眾中有一龍王，名曰無邊莊嚴海雲威德輪蓋，於此三千大千世界龍王之中最為勝大，得不退轉，本願力故受此龍身，為欲供養恭敬禮拜於如來故，聽受正法來生至此閻浮提內。時彼龍王從坐而起，整理衣服偏袒右臂，右膝著地合掌向佛而作是言：「世尊！我今有疑，欲問如來、至真、等正覺。若佛聽許，我乃敢問。」作是語已默然而住。
At that time, among the assembly was a dragon king named "Immeasurable Adornment of the Cloud-Sea, Majestic Virtue, and Wheel-Cover." Among the dragon kings of this great trichiliocosm, he was the most supreme and vast, and he had attained non-retrogression. Due to the power of his former vows, he had taken this dragon form. In order to make offerings, pay homage, and revere the Tathāgata, and to hear and receive the true Dharma, he had come to this Jambudvīpa.
Then that dragon king rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms toward the Buddha, and said, "World-Honored One, I have a doubt and wish to ask the Tathāgata, the True and Perfectly Enlightened One. If the Buddha permits, I will then dare to ask."
Having spoken these words, he remained silent and stayed.
爾時世尊告無邊莊嚴海雲威德輪蓋龍王作如是言：「汝大龍王！若有疑者，恣聽汝問。吾當為汝分別解說，令汝歡喜。」作是語已，時無邊莊嚴海雲威德輪蓋龍王即白佛言：「唯然。世尊！云何能使諸龍王等滅一切苦得受安樂，受安樂已又令於此閻浮提內時降甘雨，生長一切樹木叢林藥草苗稼皆生滋味，使閻浮提一切人等悉受快樂。」
At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Dragon King Boundless Adornment, Cloud Ocean, Virtue and Power, Wheel and Canopy: "Great Dragon King, if you have any doubts, you may ask freely. I will explain them to you one by one, bringing you joy." After these words, the Dragon King Boundless Adornment, Cloud Ocean, Virtue and Power, Wheel and Canopy said to the Buddha: "Indeed. World-Honored One, how can all dragon kings extinguish all suffering and attain peace and happiness? Once they have attained peace and happiness, how can they cause timely sweet rains to fall within this Jambudvipa, nurturing all trees, groves, medicinal herbs, and crops so they grow full of flavor, and allow all people in Jambudvipa to enjoy happiness?"
爾時世尊聞是語已，即告無邊莊嚴海雲威德輪蓋大龍王言：「善哉善哉！汝今為彼諸眾生等作利益故，能問如來如是等事。汝大龍王！諦聽諦聽，善思念之，我當為汝分別解說。輪蓋龍王！我有一法，汝等若能具足行者，令一切龍除滅諸苦具足安樂。何者一法？謂行大慈。汝大龍王！若有天人行大慈者，火不能燒、水不能溺、毒不能害、刃不能傷，內外怨賊不能侵掠，若睡若寤皆得安隱。行大慈力有大威德，諸天世等不能擾亂，形貌端嚴眾所愛敬，所行之處一切無礙，諸苦滅除心得歡喜，諸樂具足；大慈力故，命終之後得生梵天。汝大龍王！若有天人行大慈者，獲如是等無量無邊利益之事。是故龍王！身口意業常應須行彼大慈行。
At that time, the World-Honored One, upon hearing these words, said to the great dragon king Boundless Adornment Ocean Cloud Virtue Wheel Canopy: “Excellent, excellent! For the benefit of all beings, you have asked the Tathagata such questions. Great dragon king, listen carefully, and reflect well—I shall explain this for you in detail. “Dragon king of the Wheel Canopy, there is one teaching. If you can fully practice it, it will allow all dragons to eliminate suffering and attain full peace and happiness. What is that one teaching? It is practicing great loving-kindness. “Great dragon king, if a heavenly being practices great loving-kindness, fire cannot burn them, water cannot drown them, poison cannot harm them, and blades cannot wound them. Internal and external enemies cannot plunder them; whether asleep or awake, they remain at ease. With the power of great loving-kindness, they possess great majesty and virtue. Heavenly beings and worldly forces cannot disturb them. Their appearance is dignified and pleasing, and they are loved and respected by all. Wherever they go, nothing obstructs them; all suffering disappears, their mind becomes joyful, and every happiness is complete. Through the power of great loving-kindness, after the end of life, they are reborn in the Brahma heaven. “Great dragon king, if a heavenly being practices great loving-kindness, they attain benefits such as these—limitless and countless. Therefore, dragon king, with body, speech, and mind, you should always practice that path of great loving-kindness.”
「復次龍王！有陀羅尼名施一切眾生安樂。汝諸龍等常須讀誦繫念受持，能滅一切諸龍苦惱與其安樂。彼諸龍等既得樂已，於閻浮提始能依時降注甘雨，使令一切樹木叢林藥草苗稼皆出滋味。」
"Furthermore, Dragon King, there is a mantra called 'Bestowing Peace and Joy on All Beings.' You dragons should always recite, contemplate, and uphold this mantra. It can eliminate all suffering of dragons and grant them peace and happiness. Once the dragons attain this bliss, they will be able to send timely, sweet rain upon Jambudvīpa, causing all trees, groves, medicinal herbs, and crops to grow with rich flavor."
爾時龍王復白佛言：「何者名為施一切樂陀羅尼句？」爾時世尊即說呪曰：
At that time, the Dragon King again said to the Buddha, "What is called the dharani that gives all joy?" Then the World-Honored One spoke this mantra:
「怛緻咃(其呪字口傍作者轉舌讀之，注引字者引聲讀之)陀(引)囉尼陀(引)囉尼(一)優多(引)囉尼(二)(引)三(引)波囉帝(諸呪帝皆丁利反)師郗(攄利反)(三)毘闍耶跋囒那(引)薩底夜波羅帝若(女賀反)(四)波囉呵若那跋帝(五)優多波(引)達尼(六)毘那(引)喝膩(七)阿(引)毘屣(引)遮膩(八)阿陛毘(引)耶(引)呵邏(九)輸婆(引)跋帝(十)頞耆(市尸反)摩哆(十一)[黑*(企-止+ㄎ)]咥(顯利反)(十二)宮婆羅(引)(十三)鞞咥(香利反引)婆呵(十四)摩羅吉梨舍(引)達那(引)波唅(十五)輸(輸律反)陀(引)耶摩(引)伽尼梨呵迦達摩多(十六)輸(輸律反)陀(引)盧迦(十七)毘帝寐囉何囉闍婆獨佉賒摩那(去聲)(十八)薩婆佛陀婆盧歌那(去聲)(十九)波羅闍若(引)闍那(引)鞞醯莎(引)呵」

「汝大龍王！此呪名為施一切樂陀羅尼句，諸佛所持，汝等常須受持讀誦，吉事成就，得入法門，獲安隱樂。
"Great Dragon King! This dhāraṇī is called 'Bestower of All Happiness.' It is held by all buddhas. You must always receive, uphold, recite, and read it. Auspicious deeds will be accomplished; you will enter the Dharma gate, and attain peaceful joy."
「復次龍王！有大雲所生威神莊嚴功德智相雲輪水藏化金色光毘盧遮那，一毛孔中出於同姓諸佛名號，汝等亦須憶念受持。若持彼諸如來名號，能滅一切所有諸龍種姓、一切龍王眷屬徒眾并諸龍女生龍宮者所有苦惱與其安樂，是故龍王！應當稱彼如來名號。
"Furthermore, Dragon Kings! There is the Great Cloud-Born Majestic Sacred Adorned Wisdom-Character Cloud Wheel Water Treasury Transforming Golden Light Vairochana. From a single pore, the names of all Tathagatas of the same family emerge. You must also recollect, receive, and uphold them. If you hold the names of those Tathagatas, you can extinguish all suffering of every dragon lineage, all Dragon Kings' retinues and followers, including all dragon princesses born in the dragon palace, and grant them peace and happiness. Therefore, Dragon Kings! You should call upon those Tathagatas' names.
