(Vdh-J_37)śrī vasudhārādhāraṇī |
om namaḥ | śrī jinaśāsanāya |
saṃsāradvayadainyasya pratihantṛ dināvahe |
vasudhāre sudhādhāre namastubhyaṃ kṛpāmahe || 1 ||
1.如是我聞evaṃ mayā śrutam。一時ekasmin samaye 。世尊在憍睒彌國大棘林中bhagavān kośāmbyāṃ mahānagaryāṃ kaṇṭakasaṃjñake mahāvanavare ghositārāme。與大比丘眾四百五十人俱mahābhikṣu-saṃghena sārdhaṃ pañcamātrair bhikṣuśatais 。皆是眾所知識大阿羅漢saṃvarabahulaiś ca  tapodhanair。并諸菩薩摩訶薩bodhisattvair mahāsattvaiḥ。諸佛法眾悉來集會sarva-śuddha-dharma-guṇa-samanugataiḥ。恭敬圍遶聽佛說法parivṛtaḥ puraskṛto dharmaṃ deśayati sma |。
Thus I have heard: At one time the Blessed One was dwelling near Kauśāmbī in the great forest called Kaṇṭaka, together with a great assembly of about five hundred monks and a vast assembly of bodhisattva mahāsattvas who had all the qualities of the buddhas.

2.是時會中有一長者名曰妙月。於憍睒彌大城中住tena punaḥ khalu samayena kauśāmbyāṃ mahānagaryāṃ sucandro nāma gṛhapatiḥ prativasati sma |。如是長者有大智慧方便善巧。男女眾多奴婢僕從眷屬圓滿。皆具善根發大善心。是時妙月長者。往覲世尊到佛所已upaśāntendriya upaśāntamānaso bahupoṣyo bahuputro bahuduhitṛko bahubhṛtyaparijanasampannaḥ śrāddho mahāśrāddhaḥ kalyāṇāśayaḥ [yena] bhagavāṃstenopasaṃkrāntaḥ | 。恭敬合掌頂禮佛足。而復旋遶經百千匝，退坐一面upasaṃkramya bhagavataḥ pādau śirasābhivandya bhagavantaṃ anekaśata-sahasra-pradakṣaṇī-kṛtyaikānte nyaṣīdat | 。安詳坐已。妙月長者而白佛言ekānte niṣaṇṇaś ca sucandro gṛhapatir labdhāvasaro bhagavantam etad avocat | 。世尊我於今日。欲問如來應正等覺。我今心中而有疑事。唯願世尊大慈無量為我。說法開我疑結。pṛccheyam ahaṃ bhagavantaṃ tathāgataṃ arhantaṃ samyaksaṃbuddhaṃ kiñcit pradeśaṃ sacet me bhagavānavakāśaṃ kuryāt pṛṣṭapraśnavyākaraṇāya |
At that time there lived in the great city of Kauśāmbī a householder by the name of Sucandra whose senses were composed and whose mind was at ease. He had many faithful and devoted sons and daughters as well as dependents.
Sucandra approached the Blessed One, paid his respect by touching his head to the feet of the Blessed One, and circumambulated the Blessed One many hundred thousands of times.
Finally, he sat down to one side. While seated there, Sucandra the householder said the following to the Blessed One:
“I would like to ask the Blessed One, the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the complete and perfect Buddha a question, in case the Blessed One could afford the time to answer it.”

3.爾時釋迦牟尼世尊。告妙月長者言evam ukte bhagavān sucandraṃ gṛhapatim etad avocat | 。我今恣汝所問，心所疑事pṛccha tvaṃ gṛhapate yadyadevākāṃkṣasi, 。如汝所疑不應懷蘊於自心中ahaṃ te yathāpraśnavyākaraṇāya cittamārādhayiṣye | 。
The Blessed One then replied to Sucandra the householder as follows:
“Householder, please ask whatever you wish. I shall answer your question and so put your concerns to rest.”

4.妙月長者聞佛所說evam ukte sucandro gṛhapatiḥ sādhu bhagavann iti kṛtvā |。復白佛言世尊bhagavataḥ pratiśrutya bhagavantam etad avocat 。若善男子善女人。多受貧窮。云何而得不受貧苦kathaṃ bhagavan kulaputro vā kuladuhitā vā daridro bhūtvā adaridro bhavati 。多疾病人。云何而得不受病惱。vyādhitaś ca bhūtvā avyādhito bhavati |
To these words of the Blessed One Sucandra the householder responded, “Very well, Blessed One,” and asked the Blessed One the following:
“Blessed One, how can a son or daughter of noble family who suffers from poverty free themselves from their poverty? Likewise, if they suffer from disease, how can they free themselves from their disease?”

5.爾時世尊具一切智者 。告妙月長者言atha khalu bhagavān jānann eva sucandraṃ gṛhapatim etad avocat |。汝今何故唯為貧窮。心懷疑惑而作是問kim iti tvaṃ [gṛhapate daridratāyāḥ paripraśnaṃ pṛcchasi 。妙月長者白世尊言evamukte] gṛhapatir bhagavantaṃ etadavocat | 。我今貧窮世尊，我今貧窮善逝daridro 'haṃ bhagavan daridro 'haṃ sugata 。為多眷屬男女婢僕居家充滿bahupoṣyo bahuputro bahuduhitṛko bahubhṛtyaparijanasaṃpannaśca | 。今為我說。世尊依我所問而為說法。貧窮眾生以何方便令離貧苦taddarśayatu bhagavāṃs tādṛśaṃ dharmaparyāyaṃ yena daridrāḥ sattvāḥ adaridrāḥ bhaveyuḥ。多病眾生以何方便令無病惱vyādhitāśca sattvā avyādhitā bhaveyuḥ 。資生財寶粟麥等物。云何而得倉庫充滿bahudhanadhānyakośakoṣṭāgārasampannāś ca bhaveyuḥ。云何而得見所愛樂。金銀摩尼真珠瑠璃。螺貝璧玉珊瑚硨磲。金剛寶等庫藏盈溢。令我施之無有窮盡priyā manāpāś ca manojñāḥ saṃdarśanīyāś ca bhaveyuḥ dānapatayo mahādānapatayaś ca akṣīṇa-hiraṇya-suvarṇa-dhana-dhānya-ratnakośakoṣṭāgārāś ca bhaveyuḥ |maṇimuktāvaiḍūryavajraśaṅkhaśilāpravālajātarūparajatasamṛddhāś ca bhaveyuḥ |。云何而得居家眷屬。男女大小尊貴自在supratiṣṭhitasusamṛddhagṛhaputradāra-kuṭumbāś ca bhaveyuḥ |。妙月長者作如是言白世尊已。
The Blessed One then understood, and he said to Sucandra the householder:
“Householder, why do you ask me about poverty?”
Sucandra the householder replied to the Blessed One:
“Blessed One, although I am very poor, I have to take care of many sons, daughters and dependents. Therefore, I would like to request the Blessed One for a Dharma teaching that makes the poor wealthy and restores the ill to good health, that grants us wealth and grain and treasures and vaults of treasure, that makes us pleasant, charming, beautiful and lordly, that attracts patrons without needing to ask, and that grants jewels, gold, riches, stores of grain, and vaults of treasure, as well as gems, pearls, diamonds, lapis lazuli, conch shells, crystals, coral, gold and silver without needing to search or beg, and that renders one’s partner and dependents stable and secure.”

6.是時佛復告妙月長者言evamukte bhagavān sucandragṛhapatim etadavocat |。往昔過去無數劫中asti gṛhapate teṣvapi asaṃkhyeyeṣu kalpeṣvatīteṣu pramāṇeṣu 。於彼世時有佛出世yadāsīt tena kālena tena samayena bhagavān 。名持金剛海大音聲vajradharasāgaranirghoṣo nāma ，如來應供正遍知明行足善逝世間解無上士調御丈夫天人師佛世尊。 tathāgato 'rhan samyaksaṃbuddho loka utpāta(di) vidyācaraṇasampanno lokavidanuttaraḥ puruṣadamyasārathiḥ śāstā devamanuṣyāṇāṃ ca buddho bhagavān |
This being said, the Blessed One replied then to the householder Sucandra:
“Householder, once upon a time, incalculable eons ago, the Blessed One, the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the complete and perfect Buddha, dwelled in the world with perfect knowledge and with virtuous conduct. This sugata, the knower of worlds, the leader for those to be tamed, the unsurpassed teacher of gods and men, the Blessed Buddha, was named Vajradhara-sāgaranirghoṣa.

7.我當於彼世尊之處。聞陀羅尼名吉祥持世tasya tathāgatasyāntikānmayā gṛhapate ayaṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇī śrutā 。
聞是法已我常受持、讀誦、至誠供養śrutvā copagṛhītā dhāritā vācitā paryavāptā pravarttitā prakīrttitā anumoditā  。
而復為他廣說是陀羅尼parebhyaś ca vistareṇa saṃprakāśitā。
善男子我今為汝說此陀羅尼擁護於汝。aham apy etarhi gṛhapate tāṃ dhāriṇīṃ bhāṣiṣye yathā asyā dhāriṇyāḥ prabhāvena kulaputraṃ
O noble son, it is from this tathāgata that I heard and retained the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī. I kept it, recited it, comprehended it, rejoiced in it, and taught it extensively to others.

(Vdh-J_39) skandā ... apasmārā ... ustā ... pūtanā ... kaṭapūtanā ... yātudhānā na viheṭhayanti | 。mūtrāhārā rūdhirāhārā viṣṭāhārā vasāhārā māṃsāhārā śleṣmāhārā pūāhārā siṃhāṇakāhārā khelāhārā medhāhārā madyāhārā jātāhārā jīvitāhārā balyāhārā mālyāhārā yāvad ucchiṣṭāhārā na viheṭhayanti |

妙月長者此吉祥持世陀羅尼。若有善男子善女人。得此陀羅尼經在於自己舍宅之中。yasya ceyaṃ gṛhapate dhāriṇī śrāddhasya kulaputrasya vā kuladuhitur vā
或在手中恭敬供養。或心思惟是經法者。或得聽聞是經法者。hṛdayagatā hastagatā śrutimātragatā
便乃受持讀誦供養。或廣為他解說義趣。paryavāptā pravarttitā prakīrtitā viciṃtitā dhāritā vācitā likhitā anumoditā parebhyaśca saṃprakāśitā ca bhaviṣyati
此善男子善女人。晝夜常得衛護安隱快樂。飲食豐足獲大福德。tasya kulaputrasya kuladuhiturvā dīrgharātraṃ arthāya sukhāya hitāya kṣemāya subhikṣāya yogasaṃbhārāya bhaviṣyati |
此吉祥持世陀羅尼經。若能至心供養之者。則是供養過去現在未來之世一切如來應正等覺。yaś caimāṃ vasudhārādhāriṇīṃ tathāgatebhyo 'rhadbhyaḥ samyaksaṃbuddhebhyo mahatīṃ udārāṃ pūjāṃ kṛtvā namaskṛtvā
若能依法常於中夜。課念此陀羅尼四遍。arcayet ardharātreś caturvārān

O noble son, the son or daughter of noble family who takes the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī and places it in their home, takes it to heart, holds it in their hands, renders it in text, listens to it, comprehends it, reads it, memorizes it, rejoices in it, and extensively teaches it to others, will enjoy lasting benefits, welfare, goodness, advantages, pleasures, and good harvests.
Whoever worships the tathāgatas and then at midnight recites the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī two, three or four times will cause the deities to rejoice. They will bring delight through the teachings of the Tathāgata, and through contributing to the promulgation of the Dharma and development of the Saṅgha, and bring delight to those who teach the Dharma. Noble thoughts will come to them and a rain of grains will shower down upon them.

Noble son, this is the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī. Famine, diseases, and untimely death will be averted through the power of this dhāraṇī-mantra.
Noble son, whoever worships the tathāgatas, the arhats, the complete and perfect buddhas, and recites the words of this secret mantra, the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī, while facing the west will reach accomplishment.
To explain this in more detail: Arrange a maṇḍala in a suitable place—such as your own house, another person’s house, a clean place, or a storehouse—using sandalwood for the Tathāgata, Lord Avalokiteśvara, and all the buddhas and bodhisattvas and secret mantra deities, and recite the dhāraṇī while facing the west. Noble son, the person’s house will soon be completely filled with a stream of jewels, grain, gold, silver, and all necessities, and all danger and harm will be brought to an end.

10.妙月長者汝等若能精進受持。念此吉祥持世陀羅尼。而能廣為他人解說。能令汝得長夜人間天上利益安樂。tena hi tvaṃ gṛhapate udgṛgṛhīṣvemāṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇīṃ dhāraya vācaya deśaya udgrāhaya paryavāpnuhi pravartaya anumodaya parebhyaśca vistareṇa saṃprakāśaya tad bhaviṣyati dīrgharātraṃ arthāya hitāya subhikṣāya kṣemāya yogasambhārāya ceti |
妙月長者讚言善哉世尊善說。妙月長者於世尊所。聽聞得是吉祥持世陀羅尼已。心生愛樂歡喜踊躍。面色怡然頂禮佛足。而白佛言世尊。sādhu bhagavanniti sucandro gṛhapatiḥ bhagavato 'ntikādimāṃ vasudhārāṃ nāma dhāriṇīṃ śrutvā hṛṣṭaḥ tuṣṭa udagra āttamanāḥ pramuditaḥ prītisaumanasyajāto bhagavataścaraṇayornipatya kṛtakarapuṭo bhūtvā bhagavantam etad avocat |
此吉祥持世陀羅尼。我從今後永無忘失。憶念受持讀誦。解說其義供養恭敬。兼為他人廣說是法。udgṛhītā me bhagavan iyaṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇī prakīrtitā dhāritā vācitā paryavāptā anumoditā manasānupariciṃtitā ca parebhyaśca vistareṇa idānīṃ samprakāśayiṣyāmīti |
Noble son, therefore, hold the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī dear. Retain it! Memorize it! Recite it! Teach it! Explain it to others as well! This will lead to your lasting benefit, welfare and happiness.”
“Very well, Blessed One!” said the householder Sucandra upon receiving the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī from the Blessed One.
Pleased, glad, joyful, delighted, happy, satisfied and joyous was Sucandra as he paid homage by touching the feet of the Blessed One to his head. He then said to the Blessed One:
“Blessed One, now that I have received the ritual for Vasudhārā, I will keep this dhāraṇī in mind; I will memorize it; I will recite it; I will master it; I will delight in it; and I will explain it in detail to others as well!”

11.妙月長者所居家中。當於是時彈指之頃。忽然而有種種金銀珍寶。穀麥財物倉庫充滿。atha tatkṣaṇamātreṇa sucandro nāma gṛhapati[ḥ] paripūrṇakośakoṣṭāgāro babhūva |
是時妙月長者瞻仰世尊目未曾捨。而復旋遶經百千匝。頂禮佛足禮竟而退。atha khalu sucandro gṛhapatiḥ bhagavantaṃ anekaśatasahasrakṛtvaḥ pradakṣiṇīkṛtya bhagavataḥ pādau śirasābhivandya bhagavantaṃ anekaśaḥ punaḥ punar avalokya bhagavato 'ntikāt prakrāntaḥ |
At that very moment, Sucandra the householder’s storehouses became completely full.
Sucandra the householder circumambulated the Blessed One many hundreds of thousands of times, and after touching his head to the feet of Blessed One, he left his presence.


12.爾時世尊告阿難陀言。汝於今日往彼妙月長者所居家中。看其所有一切財物粟麥金銀珍寶。種種廣大倉稟庫藏充滿其中。atha khalu bhagavānāyuṣmantaṃ ānandaṃ āmantrayate sma | gaccha tvaṃ ānaṃda sucandrasya gṛhapateragāraṃ gatvā ca paripūrṇaṃ paśya sarvadhanadhānyahiraṇyaratnasuvarṇaiḥ sarvopakaraṇair mahākośakoṣṭāgārāṇi ca paripūrṇāni |
是時阿難陀聞佛教已。速疾往詣憍睒彌大城妙月長者所居家宅。atha khalvāyuṣmān ānaṃdo bhagavataḥ pratiśrutya yena kośāmbīmahānagarī yena sucandrasya gṛhapateragāraṃ tenopasaṃkrāntaḥ |
到已入裏見其所有一切財物。粟麥斛碩金銀珍寶。種種廣大倉庫之中悉皆充滿。upasaṃkramyābhyantaraṃ praviśyādrākṣīt tat paripūrṇaṃ sarvadhanadhānyahiraṇyasuvarṇaiḥ sarvopakaraṇaiśca mahākośakoṣṭāgārāṇi ca paripūrṇāni |
時阿難陀忽然見其如是之事。內懷驚異面貌微笑。心生愛樂歡喜踊躍。時阿難陀奉佛教已。却往佛所。
dṛṣṭvā ca vismito hṛṣṭaḥ santuṣṭaḥ udagra āttamanā pramuditaḥ prītisaumanasyajāto yena bhagavāṃs tena upasaṃkrāntaḥ |
The Blessed One then spoke to venerable Ānanda:
“Ānanda, go to Sucandra the householder, the one whose home is abundantly filled with all kinds of riches and grains and whose massive treasury and storehouses are replete with all one could require.”
At these words of the Blessed One, venerable Ānanda went to the great city of Kauśāmbī where Sucandra’s house was located. Upon reaching the house he entered, and he saw that it was filled with an abundance of riches and grains. Precious gems were abundant, and there was a massive storehouse of all kinds of goods. The treasuries likewise were completely full! Pleased, glad, joyful, delighted, happy, satisfied and joyous upon seeing this, he returned to the Blessed One.

到已頭面。禮世尊足而白佛言。妙月長者以何因緣。而得如是廣大福德廣大富貴。廣大倉庫種種財物。粟麥金銀珍寶積集充滿。善哉世尊唯願為我宣說是事。upasaṃkramya bhagavataḥ pādau śirasābhivaṃdya bhagavantametadavocat | ko bhagavan hetuḥ kaḥ pratyayo 'sya yena sucandro gṛhapatirmahādhano mahābhogo mahākośakoṣṭāgāraḥ sarvadhanadhānyasamṛddhaḥ saṃvṛttaḥ |
Venerable Ānanda approached the Blessed One, and, in his amazement, happiness and joy, he said this to the Blessed One:
“Blessed One, why does Sucandra the householder have so much wealth? What is the cause and what are the circumstances for his treasury and storehouses to be replete with riches and grains?”

13.佛告阿難陀言。此妙月長者有大智慧。為能發心憶持永無忘失。受持讀誦供養恭敬。思惟妙理發大慈悲。為他眾生解說是法。bhagavān āha | śrāddhānaṃda sucandragṛhapatiḥ paramaśrāddhaḥ kalyāṇāśayaḥ | udgṛhītā ca teneyaṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇī dhāritā vācitā deśitā grāhitā paryavāptā prakīrtitā anumoditā idānīṃ parebhyaś ca saṃprakāśayiṣyati |
能令汝得不可思議殊勝功德。於無量世常為諸天及世間人演說是法。tena cānaṃda tvam apy udgṛhīṣvemāṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇīṃ dhāraya vācaya deśaya grāhaya paryavāpnuhi pravarttaya prakīrtaya anumodaya parebhyaś ca vistareṇa saṃprakāśaya | yasyeyaṃ kulaputrasya vā kuladuhitur vā hastagatā gṛhagatā pustakagatā bhaviṣyati na tasya rogadurbhikṣamarakakāṃtārādayo bhaviṣyanti krameṇa vibhavās tasya pravardhiṣyanti tad bhaviṣyati bahujanahitāya bahujanasukhāya lokānukampāyai mahato janakāyasyārthāya sukhāya devānāṃ ca manuṣyāṇāṃ ca |
阿難陀此陀羅尼實未曾有。一切天魔大梵天王。沙門婆羅門眾天人阿素囉等。於此吉祥持世陀羅尼。常應發心尊重恭敬。不應起於輕慢破壞之心。nāhaṃ ānaṃda taṃ dharme samanupaśyāmi sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake saśramaṇabrāhmaṇikāyāṃ prajāyāṃ sadevamānuṣāsurāyāṃ ca imāṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇīṃ mahāvidyāṃ anyathā kariṣyati atikramiṣyati vā naitatsthānaṃ vidyate |
阿難陀此吉祥持世陀羅尼。諸呪不能破滅。若無善根眾生薄福眾生。耳不能得暫時聽聞。何況能知此陀羅尼。於是經中豈能得在。心所憶念口所宣說受持讀誦。tat kasya hetoḥ | abhedyā hyete ānaṃda vasudhārādhāriṇīmantrā na vaite kṣīṇakuśalamūlānāṃ sattvānāṃ śrutipatha[mapyā]gamiṣyanti kaḥ punar vādo pustakagatām api kṛtvā gṛhe dhārayiṣyanti |
何故如是。為此吉祥持世陀羅尼一切如來共所宣說。一切如來之所加持。一切如來同所印可。解釋供養尊重讚歎。最勝微妙甚深難解之法。一切如來。各各心無有異以一音聲宣斯妙法。令諸眾生皆得易解。

我今為諸眾生多受貧匱。疾病所苦諸惡恐怖。一切妨惱非可愛事。受是之人令得豐足安隱快樂。
sarvasattvānāṃ daridrāṇāṃ nānāvyādhiparipīḍitānāṃ sarvaduṣṭabhayopadravāṇāṃ cārthāyeti |
The Blessed One replied:
“Ānanda, it is because the noble son Sucandra the householder has received and chanted the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī with devotion, great faith, and pure motivation. He kept it, recited it, mastered it, delighted in it, and expounded it in detail to others as well.
Ānanda, therefore, you too should receive the Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī, keep it in mind, recite it, teach it, memorize it, master it, and explain it to others in detail. This will benefit many individuals. It will bring them happiness. It will bring love and compassion to the world, and it will bring benefit and happiness to hosts of beings, gods and humans alike.
Ānanda, I do not see anyone in worlds of gods, māras, brahmas, humans, or asuras, who would say otherwise about this vidyā-mantra. It is impossible not to receive the mantra’s benefits having recited it two or three times.
Ānanda, the secret mantra words of this dhāraṇī are indestructible.
Ānanda, it is clear that these words, when heard, will benefit2 even those whose roots of virtue have been exhausted. Thus, there is no need to mention the benefits of writing them down in a book or memorizing them.
Why is this the case? It is because this dhāraṇī has been taught by all the tathāgatas. This dhāraṇī-mantra has been spoken, explained, honored, revealed, praised, unraveled, clarified, expounded, blessed, validated by the dharma seal, commended, sung, declared, and told by all the tathāgatas for the welfare of all sentient beings who live in poverty, suffer from diseases, live in fear, or are harmed by the wicked.

14.是時阿難陀。聞佛說此吉祥持世陀羅尼已。發憶念心受持讀誦。思惟解了尊重供養。ānanda āha | udgṛhītā me bhagavann iyaṃ vasudhārā nāma dhāriṇī dhāritā vācitā grāhitā deśitā pravarttitā prakīrtitā anumoditā manasā supariciṃtitā |
阿難陀從座而起偏袒右肩。右膝著地合掌向佛是。時阿難陀敬禮佛已發。至誠心說是誐他而讚歎曰。
atha khalvāyuṣmān ānaṃda utthāyāsanādekāṃsamuttarāsaṃgaṃ kṛtvā dakṣiṇajānumaṇḍalaṃ pṛthivyāṃ pratiṣṭhāpya yena bhagavāṃstenāṃjaliṃ praṇamya tasyāṃ velāyāṃ kṛtakarapuṭo bhūtvā idam udānayati sma |
不可思議佛世尊 佛所說法不思議 不思議發歡喜心 順現受報不思議
aciṃtiyo bhagavān buddho buddhadharmo 'pyaciṃtaya |
aciṃtayo hi 'tra sattānāṃ vipākaścāpyaciṃtaya ||
天人師智一切智 到彼岸故離生死 證無上果成法王 我今稱讚佛無畏
śāstrāya nehi sarvajña jarāmaraṇapāraga |
dharmarāja phalaprāptā buddhavīraṃ namo 'stu te ||
Venerable Ānanda then rose from his seat and with his hands folded, he uttered this praise in verse:
“Inconceivable is the Blessed Buddha.
Inconceivable too is the Buddha’s Dharma.
For those with faith in the inconceivable,
Inconceivable too will be their results.

Tranquil knower of everything and all,
Dharma King free of aging and death,
The one who’s arrived at wisdom’s far shore,
Buddha the Hero, to you I pay homage!”

15.是時阿難陀說是讚已。歡喜踊躍而白佛言。世尊經名云何。令我云何受持。atha khalvāyuṣmān ānaṃdo hṛṣṭa tuṣṭa āttamanā pramuditā prītisaumanasyajāto bhagavantametadavocat | ko nāma bhagavan dharmaparyāyaḥ kaścemāṃ dhārayāmi |
世尊告阿難陀言。如汝前問。妙月長者所。得一切財寶庫藏受持之法經。名依一切如來所說。名吉祥持世陀羅尼經。汝等應當如是受持。 bhagavān āha | tena hi tvamānaṃda sucandragṛhapatiparipṛcchetyapi dhāraya sarvadhanadhānyamityapi dhāraya sarvatathāgatapraśarato vasudhārādhāriṇīkalpaṃ ity api dhāraya |
Venerable Ānanda was satisfied and joyful, gladden and overjoyed. In his joy and happiness, he said to the Blessed One:
“Blessed One, what is the name of this form of Dharma? How shall I remember it?”
The Blessed One replied:
“Ānanda, remember this teaching as ‘The Question of Sucandra the Householder.’ Remember it as ‘The Treasury of Wealth and Grain and All That is Precious.’ Remember it as ‘The Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī Praised by All the Tathāgatas.’”

16.佛說是經已。阿難陀及諸比丘菩薩摩訶薩。一切世間天人阿素囉彥達嚩等。皆大歡喜信受奉行作禮而退。idam avocad bhagavann āttamanā āyuṣmān ānaṃdas te ca bhikṣavas te ca bodhisatvā sā sarvāvatī parṣad sadevamānuṣāsuragandharvāśca loko bhagavato bhāṣitam abhyanaṃdann iti |

When the Blessed One had said this, Venerable Ānanda, the monks and bodhisattva mahāsattvas, together with the whole assembly and the world of gods, human beings, asuras and gandharvas rejoiced and praised the speech of the Blessed One.
This concludes the Noble Vasudhārā Dhāraṇī.
