佛說無能勝大明王陀羅尼經
The Sutra of the Invincible Great King Mantra Spoken by the Buddha
西天中印度摩伽陀國那爛陀寺三藏傳教大師賜紫沙門臣法天奉 詔譯
Translated by the Tripitaka Master and Propagator of the Dharma, the Purple-Robed Monk Fazitian, at Nalanda Monastery in
爾時世尊告舍利子、阿難陀等：「我今宣說無能勝大明王陀羅尼，為彼人天作利樂故。若有吠多拏及步多等，於此大明王起根本業作諸障難，乃至藥叉、羅剎娑起暴惡業欲破此明王者，無能破壞。」即說呪曰：
At that time, the World-Honored One addressed Shariputra, Ananda, and others: "I am now proclaiming the invincible Great Bright King Dharani, for the benefit and happiness of gods and humans. If there are Vetala, Bhuta, or others who, driven by past actions, create obstacles against this Great Bright King, or even Yaksha and Rakshasa who initiate violent deeds intending to break this Bright King—they shall not succeed in destroying it." Then he spoke the dhāraṇī:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)賀娑儞(引)(二)尾賀娑儞(引)(三)護魯祖魯魯(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)」
Tadyathā, hasani, vihasani, huru, juru, svāhā.
「若有聰慧之人，於此明王心不疑慮、尊重受持者，彼人於囉惹門或在師子中、在道路時或非道路心常憶念，乃至魔王處及遇彼冤家，以此明王常自擁護，無諸恐怖。」即說呪曰：
If a wise person has unwavering faith in this Bright King, respects and upholds it, then whether they are in the royal court or among lions, on the road or off the path, if they constantly keep this Bright King in mind, even when facing demon kings or encountering enemies, this Bright King will always protect them, and they will have no fear. Then the mantra is spoken:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)度弭(引)(二)度度弭(引)(三)度麼(引)嚩諦(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)」
Tadyathā: Om ṃ de, du de, dhu-ma-te, svāhā!
「若有女人專注受持，復能書寫戴於頂上者，彼人所有財物恒常豐盈、無有耗散，一切眷屬皆得安樂。」即說呪曰：
"If a woman earnestly upholds this teaching, and also writes it down to carry upon her head, her wealth will always be abundant, never depleting, and all her family will find peace and happiness." Then the mantra is spoken:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)惹嚩惹嚩(二)惹嚩儞(引)(三)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(四)」
Tadyathā: Jaya jaya, jaya ni, svāhā.
「若有女人身懷其孕，久久不生受諸苦惱，受持此明皆得易生。」即說呪曰：
"If a pregnant woman carries her child for a long time, suffering great pain and difficulty in childbirth, by reciting this mantra she may give birth easily." Then he spoke the mantra:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)迦捨迦捨(二)尾迦捨(三)摩賀(引)迦捨(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)」
Tadyathā: Kṣa kṣa, vikṣa, mahākṣa, svāhā.
「若或有人於軍陣中互相殺時，此無能勝而為擁護咸得安住。」即說呪曰：
"If there are people who find themselves amidst the chaos of battle, killing one another, the Invincible One will protect them all, allowing them to dwell in safety." Then the spell was proclaimed:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)吒吒跓(摘故反)(二)致跓(准上切)(三)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(四)」
Om. Tadyathā: Ṭaṭaṭu, ṭiṭu, svāhā.
「若或有人於迷醉時或睡夢中，乃至行住之時，彼步多眾無能嬈亂，恒得安樂。又復有人以慇重心恒常受持諷誦宣說此無能勝，於晝夜中而為擁護，一心聽聞。」即說呪曰：
If someone, whether drunk or dreaming, or even when walking or standing, remains undistracted by the crowd and always at peace, and if another person, with sincere devotion, constantly recites and proclaims this unsurpassed protection, day and night, with single-minded attention, they will be guarded. The mantra is spoken as:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)賀囉(二)賀囉囉(三)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(四)」
Tadyathā (he says), Oṃ hara hara, Svāhā.
「我今宣說彼惡魔羅恃其力勢，現種種色相而來相持。菩薩見已，止住其軍，同彼兄弟而說此言：『我千俱胝劫為求菩提，捨自身命及以男女，乃至財寶而無悋惜。發大誓願修此精進難行苦行，為有情故起利他行，慈心悲愍覬得圓滿。』彼惡魔羅見此事已來為我障，菩薩是時憶念此無能勝大明王陀羅尼，以彼明力令彼魔羅及大軍眾悉皆退散。」即說呪曰：
I now proclaim how the demon Mara, relying on his power and strength, manifested in various forms to confront the Bodhisattva. Seeing this, the Bodhisattva halted his army and said to his companions: "For thousands of millions of eons, I have striven for enlightenment, sacrificing my own life, my children, my wealth, and possessions without any attachment. I made great vows, devoted myself to this difficult practice, endured hardships, and acted for the benefit of all beings, cultivating compassion and kindness, hoping to attain perfect fulfillment."
When the demon Mara saw this, he came to obstruct me. At that moment, the Bodhisattva, recalling the invincible and great king of Dharani, through its power caused Mara and his entire army to retreat and disperse in all directions." Then he spoke this mantra:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)伊底弭底(二)底羅弭羅(三)弭底弭隷(引)儞(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)」
Thus:
Tadyatha, iṭī miṭī, ṭīla miṭī, miṭī miṭīle, svāhā.
「於是明王現女人相來菩薩前，合掌頂上而說頌曰：
Then the Radiant King manifested in female form, approached the bodhisattva, pressed his palms together above his head, and spoke this verse:
「『大智慧宣說， 如大光普照，
而我於今日， 降伏魔羅軍。
如汝過去求， 無上正等覺，
乃得大無畏， 魔羅軍降伏。』
"Great wisdom is proclaimed, like a great light shining everywhere. Today I have defeated Mara's army. Just as you sought supreme perfect enlightenment in the past, you attained great fearlessness and subdued Mara's army."
「我今以彼明力，破壞魔羅及大軍眾并諸眷屬。」即說呪曰：
"Now, through the power of this radiant wisdom, I shall vanquish Mara and his great army, along with all their followers." Then he spoke this mantra:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)迦嚩置(引)(二)迦嚩吒(三)謨隷(引)(四)曩俱羅(五)俱賀羅(六)麼(引)隷(引)儞(七)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(八)」
Tadyathā: Kapati, Kapatā, Moli, Nakura, Kuhala, Mali, Svāhā.
爾時世尊而說頌曰：
At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse:
「如來正等覺， 令一切世間，
得無上果者， 毒藥不能害，
器杖不能傷， 火亦不能燒，
至於眠睡中， 常不見惡夢。
若為王繫縛， 及在賊手中，
或山崖巇嶮， 乃至於江河，
一切恐怖難， 悉皆得解脫，
眾罪及苦惱， 解脫而安隱。
明力及慧力， 而為大威德，
凡所作事業， 能速得成就。」
The Thus-Come One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, Enables all beings in every world To attain the supreme fruit—no poison can harm them, No weapon can wound them, fire cannot burn them, And in their sleep, they never see bad dreams. If bound by a king or fallen into a bandit's hands, Or on a dangerous mountain cliff, or even in a river— All terrifying difficulties will be fully released. All sins and sufferings will be freed, bringing peace and safety. With the power of clarity and the power of wisdom, They possess great majesty. Whatever work they undertake, they swiftly bring to completion.
即說呪曰：
Then he spoke this mantra:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)素㘑(引)(二)素素㘑(引)(三)嚩囉(四)嚩嚩囉(五)摩曩婆嚩(引)(六)娑摩囉(引)(七)護隷(引)(八)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(九)摩隷(引)(十)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(十一)」
Tadyathā: Om Sule Sule Vara Vara Vavara Manava Sama Samara Hule Svāhā Male Svāhā
佛言：「我先求菩提時作六牙白象時，為彼獵師而作遮護：『斯若真實，願諸有情一切苦惱皆得除盡。』我於過去之世為海中龜時，身備割截心無嗔恨：『斯若真實，願諸有情所有疾病皆悉除滅。』」即說呪曰：
The Buddha said: "When I was once a white elephant with six tusks, seeking enlightenment, I shielded a hunter and made this vow: 'If this is true, may all beings be freed from every suffering.' In a past life, when I was a turtle in the sea, my body was cut apart, yet I felt no anger, and I made this vow: 'If this is true, may all diseases of every being be eradicated.'" Then he proclaimed this dharani:
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)呬隷弭隸儞(二)度嚕(二合)鑁跛能(去)(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)」
Tadyathā: Hile mile ni, dhuru vāpaṇa svāhā.
佛言：「我過去世求菩提時，施於有情種種安樂。我昔為雉，被獵師所獲，所要施與，起慈心觀不生嗔恨。」即說呪曰：
The Buddha said: "In a past life, as I sought enlightenment, I offered all kinds of peace and happiness to living beings. Once, when I was born as a pheasant and was caught by a hunter, I gave him whatever he required. I cultivated a heart of loving-kindness and did not give rise to anger or resentment." He then spoke this incantation.
「怛儞野(二合)他(引)(一)鼻哩(二)度度度儞(三)摩賀(引)曩諦(引)(四)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(五)度度度儞(引)(六)呬致弭致(七)鼻致哩(八)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(九)」
Tadyathā Oṃ muni muni mahāmunaye svāhā Supratiṣṭha vajre svāhā
佛言：「我為忍辱仙人時，修忍辱波羅蜜多觀，心不煩惱，觀察一切有情由如赤子，我身出血而變成乳。我為求菩提一切施時，彼婆羅門來於我前而乞其頭，以頭施之，乃以髮索繫縛於樹。我於是時起慈悲心，不生嗔恨，觀婆羅門由如赤子，乃至妻妾皆悉施與。我不求五慾樂、不求王自在、不求天富貴，真實為彼降伏魔羅及以眷屬，乃至調伏一切冤家得最上位。為破彼故說大明大力，而能出生過去行菩提行；為降伏魔羅，我今復說。」即說呪曰：
The Buddha said: "When I was the Patient Immortal, I cultivated the meditation of the Perfection of Patience. My mind remained untroubled, and I regarded all living beings as if they were my own children. When my body bled, the blood turned into milk.
When I was seeking enlightenment and practicing the perfection of generosity, a Brahmin came before me and asked for my head. I gave it to him, and he tied me to a tree with my own hair. At that moment, I awakened a heart of compassion and felt no anger. I saw that Brahmin as my own child. Even when my wives and concubines were given away, I did not cling to the pleasures of the senses, nor did I seek the power of a king or the riches of heaven. Truly, it was to subdue Mara and his retinue, to tame all enemies, and to attain the highest state.
To break their power, I declared the great mantra of mighty power, which can give rise to the fruits of past bodhisattva practices. Now, to subdue Mara, I shall recite it again." Then he spoke the mantra:
「怛儞也(二合)他(去聲引)(一)企企𩕳(二)尾麼那𩕳(三)尾度度度寧(上)(四)麼賀(引)曩底(丁曳反)囉拏(二合)嚩底(五)麼賀(引)嚩(引)囉他(二合)嚩底(六)醯醯醯(七)弭弭禮(八)始始抳(九)始抳始抳(十)悉哩抳(十一)弭哩抳(十二)麼賀(引)弭哩抳(十三)禮禮𩕳(十四)弭里抳(十五)抳娑嚩(二合)羅跛(二合)嚩(引)儞𩕳(十六)底底𩕳(十七)蜜底哩抳(十八)薩(轉舌)嚩迦(引)麼(引)囉他(二合)娑(引上)達𩕳(十九)設咄嚕(二合)達哩灑(二合)抳(二十)設嚩達㘑(二十一)麼賀(引)達㘑(二十二)儞(泥翳反)跛多(二合)達㘑(二十三)乞芻(二合)嚕(引上)跛謎(二十四)娑賀娑囉(二合)馱(引)㘑(二十五)尾麼禮(二十六)烏仡囉(二合)底(丁曳反)乞瑟膩(三合)(二十七)麼賀哆閉(二十八)設咄嚕(二合)𭊥(引)佩孕迦(引)哩(二十九)布爾(仁除反)哆(上)底哩(二合)數路(去引)計數(三十)儞(泥逸反)底焰(二合)路(去引)計數尾戍嚕(二合)哆(上引)(三十一)悉馱(引)佐底哩(二合)數(三十三)路(去引)計瑟嚩(二合)𩕳(泥逸反)爾哆(上)(三十四)沒囉(二合)憾麼(二合)難拏數(二合)跛謎(三十五)悉弟設訖底(二合)(三十六)塞建(二合)馱寫也(二合)尾戍嚕(二合)帝(三十七)」

「我為汝說彼大明力威德。精進天與阿蘇羅兩陣相持時，天憶念此無能勝，彼自降伏。汝天精進與一切阿蘇羅相持，汝天壽命千年，伺其方便，彼無能得。若無能勝真實力成就，往於梵天，如是恒常作種種事業，而無能勝彼梵天威德，而供養故。諸佛所說。」即說呪曰：
"I will explain to you the great power and virtuous might of that Invincible One. When the armies of the gods and the Asuras clashed, the gods remembered this Invincible One, and they were naturally victorious. You, god of diligence, when opposing all the Asuras, have a lifespan of a thousand years, waiting for the right moment—they can never overcome you. If one has achieved the true power of the Invincible One, and goes to the Brahma Heaven, constantly performing all sorts of tasks, even the majesty of Brahma cannot surpass it, because it is worthy of offerings. This is what the Buddhas have proclaimed." Then he spoke this mantra:

I pay homage.(1) I pay homage again and again.(2) To the One who is pure, yet beyond extremes,(3) who dwells in the highest peace, beyond all forms,(4) who is unshakable and without fear,(5) the vast and luminous one, the true refuge,(6) the great wisdom,(7) the supreme vision,(8) the utterly perfect,(9) the radiant one who cuts through all darkness,(10) the peaceful one,(11) the one who is fully awakened,(12) the ultimate truth, the highest nirvana,(13) the most excellent,(14) the most excellent, the ultimate truth,(15) the highest nirvana,(16) the most excellent and peaceful,(17) the all-powerful,(18) the one of infinite radiance,(19) the fearless and unwavering one,(20) the mighty thunderbolt of wisdom,(21) you who destroy all obstacles,(22) fulfilling the vows of the buddhas,(23) you who protect gods and humans,(24) spirits and beings,(25) ghosts and great demons,(26) you who conquer the ocean of existence,(27) the keeper of the Dharma seal,(28) the lord of meditation,(29) the illuminator of all realms,(30) the supremely pure and powerful,(31) the great mother of all buddhas,(32) the sword of wisdom,(33) the blazing torch of knowledge,(34) for all beings who have taken refuge in you,(35) and for all beings who seek enlightenment,(36) you who quells all fear,(38) you who protects all from danger,(40) you who possesses the power of Rudra,(41) you of great compassion,(42) you of great majesty,(43) you who upholds the earth,(44) you who is the great protector,(45) you who is the refuge of the world,(46) you who bears the thunderbolt of wisdom,(47) you who is ever victorious,(48) you who destroys all darkness,(49) you who defeats all enemies. So be it! (50)
Hail, hail!(51) You who holds the trident of Rudra,(52) you who dwells in the supreme heaven,(53) you who is the goddess of abundant wisdom,(54) you who is the mother of all,(55) you who is the consort of Vishnu,(56) you who is the source of joy,(57) you who is worshipped by gods and the host of sages,(58) you are the one who brings wisdom and liberation,(59) the one who is the essence of all mantras,(60) the one who is the very heart of all spiritual practices,(61) hail, hail, hail, hail, hail, hail, hail, hail!(62) You who removes all obstacles,(63) you who grants all powers,(64) you who is the storehouse of all virtues,(65) you who is the supreme power,(66) you who is the creator and destroyer of all worlds,(67) to you who is the essence of all happiness and the supreme offering, so be it! (68)
佛言：「我於後夜時日初出時，為於世間作最上修行圓滿成佛事業，獲得菩提、降伏魔軍、轉於法輪。復有千俱胝淨居天眾來於我前，發甚深意，以柔軟音請轉法輪。」
The Buddha said, "In the latter part of the night, as the sun first rose, I completed the supreme practice for the benefit of the world and fully realized Buddhahood. I attained full enlightenment, subdued Māra's armies, and began to turn the Dharma wheel. Then, thousands upon thousands of gods from the Pure Abodes came before me, their minds deeply inspired, and with gentle voices they urged me to turn the Dharma wheel."
佛告舍利子言：「諦聽，舍利子！此無能勝明王利益安樂一切有情。舍利子！昔過去之世，天與阿蘇羅兩相鬪戰。是時天眾退散，阿蘇羅得勝。爾時帝釋天主即以此無能勝陀羅尼書於金葉安旗幟頭，復與相戰。時天眾得勝，阿蘇羅軍尋即退散。」即說呪曰：
The Buddha said to Shariputra: “Listen carefully, Shariputra! This Invincible King of Clear Understanding brings benefits and peace to all beings. Shariputra! In a past era, the gods and the asuras fought a great battle. At that time, the gods were defeated and the asuras emerged victorious. Then the lord of gods, Indra, wrote this Invincible Mantra on a golden leaf and placed it at the head of a banner, and joined the battle once more. This time, the gods prevailed, and the asura army was quickly routed.” He then spoke this mantra:
「怛(上)儞也(二合)他(去引)(一)沒素謎(二)嚩素迦囉帝(三)曩(引)虞(上)那哩佐(四)迦播哩抳(五)娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)(六)」
He spoke these words:
"Tadyathā: Emptiness, giving, Compassion, letting go, Praise and peace."
佛告舍利子：「我不見有諸天及魔羅等，乃至人間沙門、婆羅門，并阿蘇羅、一切鬼魅，阿跛薩麼囉、乾闥婆、藥叉、囉乞叉、蘖路荼、緊那羅、尾那夜迦、布旦曩、供盤拏、羯吒布多曩食生者等，於此無能勝大明王無敢違犯。如是大明王陀羅尼，若不見不聞者，乃是過去見在業所障故。」
The Buddha said to Shariputra: "I see no being among the gods or Māra, nor among any humans, ascetics, Brahmins, demons, or spirits—including ghosts, goblins, celestial musicians, ogres, demons of vomiting, serpent-like beings, heavenly musicians, obstruction spirits, vampires, goblins of the forest, and all kinds of ghosts that feed on life—who would dare to disobey this unsurpassable Great King of Illumination. If one cannot see or hear this Great King of Illumination’s mantra, it is because they are obstructed by past or present karma."
爾時世尊說是陀羅尼一切成就已，時阿難陀、舍利子、天人、阿蘇羅等，一心受持，歡喜奉行。
Then the World-Honored One finished teaching this all-achieving dharani. At that time, Ananda, Shariputra, devas, asuras, and all others single-mindedly received and upheld it, rejoicing and putting it into practice.
