如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時佛在王舍城迦蘭陀竹林中。爾時王舍城內有一比丘，為賊所劫、為蛇所螫、為鬼所嬈，受大苦惱。爾時鬼神大將阿吒婆拘，見是比丘受如是苦，心生憐愍，即往佛所。至佛所已。頭面禮足在一面立。白佛言：「世尊以降伏一切極惡諸鬼神等。我今憐愍一切眾生故，為降伏一切諸惡鬼神及一切惡人惡毒等故，上佛世尊極嚴惡呪，以用降伏諸鬼神等。若有讀誦是呪之者，其人威德乃至力能降伏梵天，何況餘惡。」爾時佛告阿吒婆拘鬼神大將：「我不須此極嚴惡呪，儻能傷害諸眾生等。」爾時阿吒婆拘重白佛言：「世尊！後惡世之中，惡鬼增盛、惡人眾多，惡毒蟲獸侵害眾生，或值諸難，所謂王賊水火刀兵、恐畏怨憎、惡鬼等難。若佛弟子出家在家，若住寂靜乞食道人、塚間樹下四部等眾，若行曠野山林道中、若在城邑村里巷陌，當為救護不令遇惡。世尊慈矜，願垂納受。善逝世尊！願垂顧錄。」爾時世尊聞是語已，默然受之。爾時阿吒婆拘見佛默然，心懷喜悅，即於佛前而說呪曰：
At one time the Buddha was staying in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rājagṛha. At that time, within Rājagṛha, there was a monk who had been robbed by thieves, bitten by a snake, and harassed by a ghost, and he suffered great affliction. Then the great ghost general Atavaka, seeing that monk suffering in this way, felt compassion in his heart and went straight to where the Buddha was staying. Having arrived, he bowed his head at the Buddha's feet and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, through you all the most evil ghosts and spirits have been subdued. Now, out of compassion for all sentient beings, in order to subdue all evil ghosts and spirits and all evil people and evil poisons, I present to the Buddha, the World-Honored One, a most fierce and powerful incantation, to be used to subdue ghosts and spirits. If anyone recites this incantation, that person's majestic virtue and power will be enough to subdue even Brahmā, let alone lesser evils."
Then the Buddha said to the great ghost general Atavaka: "I have no need of this most fierce and powerful incantation, lest it harm sentient beings."
Then Atavaka spoke again to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, in later ages of evil, evil ghosts will flourish and evil people will be many; poisonous creatures and beasts will harm sentient beings, and people will encounter various perils — dangers from kings, thieves, water, fire, weapons, fear, enemies and hatred, evil ghosts, and so on. Whether they are the Buddha's disciples who have left home or remain in households, whether they are mendicant practitioners dwelling in quiet places, or the fourfold assembly dwelling among graves and beneath trees, whether they travel through wilderness, mountains, and forests, or dwell in cities, villages, towns, and alleys — they should be protected and kept from encountering evil. World-Honored One, out of kindness and compassion, please accept it. Well-Gone One, please look upon and receive it."
When the World-Honored One heard these words, he accepted them in silence. When Atavaka saw that the Buddha was silent, joy filled his heart, and there before the Buddha he spoke the incantation:

「世尊！此陀羅尼句，為一切眾生作護作救。護持是人，悉皆令得安隱寂靜，令離衰惱滅諸惡毒，離諸苦惱、王難賊難怨憎之難。若天、龍、鬼神、羅剎、夜叉、鳩槃茶、復多那、阿跋漆羅、呿屈陀如是等所觸惱者、所侵損者，悉得除滅。又復世間一切諸毒，芳草若木根華果，衣裳飲食世間之物，及蟲鳥禽獸諸能為毒惡傷人者，悉令消壞不能為惡。又復虛空日月星辰、旋嵐風輪鬼神起風欲來傷人，諸鬼神等欲來求食，吸人精氣食人肉血者，令人疫病熱病，若一日二日三日四日乃至七日，或令冷病風病濕病寒冷等病，若身內若身外一切眾病，若七日若十六日，悉令消滅不能為害。是等諸鬼神，若以手若以口若以脚、若以舌若以心欲惱人者，及以惡人欲為人作惱害者，先當誦此呪，力能噤持，令彼惡人惡鬼噤碎失念不令為惡。世尊！我今當更說神呪以守護之。
"World-Honored One, this dharani passage serves as protection and rescue for all beings. It guards and upholds those who recite it, causing them all to attain peace and tranquility, freeing them from decline and distress and eliminating all poisons and harms, and delivering them from all suffering and affliction, from the perils of kings, the perils of thieves, and the perils of enemies and hatred. Whatever harm or injury is caused by devas, nagas, ghosts and spirits, rakshasas, yakshas, kumbhandas, revata, apasmara, khakkhara, and the like—all shall be removed and eradicated. Furthermore, all poisons in the world—whether from fragrant herbs, roots, flowers, or fruits of trees, or from clothing, food, and drink, or any worldly things—and any insects, birds, beasts, or creatures capable of poisoning or injuring people, are all caused to decay and dissolve so they cannot do harm. Furthermore, should spirits and ghosts stir up winds in the sky, the sun, moon, and stars, or the whirling storm wind-wheels to come and injure people, or should various ghosts and spirits come seeking food to suck out people's vital energy and eat their flesh and blood, causing plague and fever, whether for one day, two days, three days, four days, or up to seven days, or causing cold diseases, wind diseases, damp diseases, chills, and other illnesses—all diseases within the body or on the outside, whether lasting seven days or sixteen days—all are caused to vanish and be destroyed so they cannot cause harm. If these ghosts and spirits wish to harm people with their hands, mouths, feet, tongues, or minds, or if evil people wish to cause trouble and harm to others, one should first recite this mantra; its power can lock their jaws, causing those evil people and evil ghosts to be silenced, shattered, and bereft of mindful awareness, so they cannot do evil. World-Honored One, I shall now proclaim a divine mantra to protect them."

「此陀羅尼為受持讀誦者作護。若有鬼食人精氣、若損人資產耗人財物，如是一切眾怖怨等，悉為結界。今為某國某甲合家無量作大擁護，今當重更說防諸惡呪。」即說呪曰：
"This dharani protects those who receive, uphold, and recite it. If there are ghosts that devour people's vital essence, or that harm people's property and drain away their wealth—all such fears and enemies—a boundary of protection is set against them all. Now, to provide great protection without measure for a certain household of a certain person in a certain country, I shall once more speak a spell that guards against all evils." Then he spoke the spell:

爾時大將重白佛言：「世尊！此呪極有神力，如上所說。莫令持此呪者，有王畏賊畏、火畏水畏、風毒刀兵等畏、日月星辰鬼神等畏。或有餘惡知識心生忿姤意生惡害欲相侵惱者，當先誦此呪為其結界，當令彼惡鬼惡人仇怨之人心生侵惡者，令其愚癡迷悶噤碎，自遇眾惡不越此界，不能侵犯誦此呪者。世尊！若有善男子善女人誦此呪者，一切天、龍、阿修羅、諸惡鬼神、人非人等，皆悉隨侍擁護不令遇惡。世尊！我是鬼神大將，力能降伏一切諸惡鬼。若有誦此呪者，我當將諸鬼神晝夜不離，擁護其人令不見惡，不令惡鬼惡人得其便也。若侵損惱害誦此呪者，我當以千輻輪轢碎其頭，令諸鬼神為作衰害。世尊！此呪極有神力、極有威德，唯願流布，施眾安樂。世尊！誦此呪者，其人德力唯佛知之。世尊！此大神呪應付賢德有智善人。若不能誦者，應以好紙書寫盛以綵囊，著種種香常持隨身。若有憂怖恐難，常當憶念此呪，無不消滅。世尊！若有事難憂怖、惡鬼神惡夢欲令消滅者，先當結界，使諸惡不起，令彼惡人惡鬼惡賊自受其殃，身體燋枯心意狂亂。欲結界之時，應淨洗浴著淨衣服好淨塗地，安七器漿飲，二器著少血飲，二器著種種漿飲，然八燈，燒熏陸香，運心供養。我將諸鬼神至其邊，施其所願。其人應誦此呪，結赤縷，然後持行，即能消除一切諸難。」
At that time, the Great General again spoke to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, this spell has extremely great spiritual power, as described above. Do not let those who hold this spell encounter fear of kings, fear of thieves, fear of fire, fear of water, fear of wind, poison, weapons and soldiers, or fear of the sun, moon, stars, ghosts and spirits. If there are other wicked acquaintances whose minds give rise to anger and jealousy, whose minds give rise to evil intent to harm and annoy, one should first recite this spell to create a boundary for them. It should cause those evil ghosts and evil people, hostile and resentful people whose minds give rise to harmful evil—it should cause them to become foolish, confused, and silenced, so that they themselves meet with all kinds of evil and cannot cross beyond this boundary, and cannot invade those who recite this spell. World-Honored One, if a good man or good woman recites this spell, all devas, nagas, asuras, all evil ghosts and spirits, humans and non-humans, will all follow and protect them, not letting them encounter evil. World-Honored One, I am a great general among ghosts and spirits, and my power can subdue all evil ghosts. If anyone recites this spell, I will lead all ghosts and spirits to stay by their side day and night, protecting that person so they do not see evil, and not letting evil ghosts or evil people find an opportunity against them. If anyone invades, damages, or harms one who recites this spell, I will crush their head with a thousand-spoked wheel, and cause all ghosts and spirits to bring them ruin and harm. World-Honored One, this spell has extremely great spiritual power and extremely great majestic virtue. I only pray that it be spread abroad, granting peace and happiness to the masses. World-Honored One, as for one who recites this spell, that person's virtue and power are known only to the Buddha. World-Honored One, this great divine spell should be entrusted to virtuous, wise, and good people. If one cannot recite it, one should write it out on fine paper, place it in a colorful pouch, apply various incenses, and always carry it on one's person. If there is worry, fear, or danger, one should always remember this spell, and nothing will fail to be dispelled. World-Honored One, if there is trouble, danger, worry, or fear, and one wishes to dispel evil ghosts and evil dreams, one should first create a boundary so that all evils do not arise, and cause those evil people, evil ghosts, and evil thieves to bring disaster upon themselves, their bodies scorched and withered, their minds deranged. When one wishes to create a boundary, one should bathe cleanly, wear clean clothes, and smear the ground well and cleanly; set out seven vessels of liquid drink, two vessels holding a little blood drink, two vessels holding various liquid drinks; light eight lamps; burn frankincense; and mentally perform offerings. I will bring all ghosts and spirits to their side and grant what they wish. That person should recite this spell and tie a red thread, then carry it as they go, and immediately be able to eliminate all difficulties."
爾時佛告阿難：「此呪極有大神力，能消除一切諸難并諸時惡，擁護眾生多所利益。汝好受持廣令流布。若有城邑村落誦此呪者，莫不蒙利。若有國王大臣誦此呪者，其人境土無有惡賊怖難、災橫疾疫水旱風霜。若遇惡賊，應誦此呪。若繫著高幢頭，賊見此幢，賊尋退散降伏。阿難！此呪極有神力、極有大德，應令四眾善誦持之」。爾時眾會聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
At that time the Buddha told Ananda: "This mantra has exceedingly great spiritual power. It can eliminate all hardships and all evil omens of the times, and it protects and greatly benefits sentient beings. Receive and uphold it well, and let it spread far and wide. If anyone recites this mantra in a city, town, or village, all there will receive its benefit. If a king or a great minister recites this mantra, there will be no fearful troubles from evil bandits, no calamities or misfortunes, no plagues, and no floods, droughts, winds, or frosts in that person's realm. If you encounter evil bandits, you should recite this mantra. If it is tied to the top of a tall banner, then when the bandits see this banner, they will immediately retreat, scatter, and submit. Ananda, this mantra has exceedingly great power and exceedingly great virtue. You should have the fourfold assembly recite and uphold it well."
At that time the assembly, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and faithfully put it into practice.
(此中丹本有注云：牛屎作場，外灰緣竪二刀、十二隻箭，請婆拘法，餘如前部，誦三遍，結縷十二結)。
(In the Dan edition there is a note here: "Make a platform of cow dung; outside it, arrange ashes, two vertical knives, and twelve arrows. Invoke the rite of Poju; the rest as in the preceding section. Recite three times and tie twelve knots in the thread.")
