English version: ‘With a respectful heart towards the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), do not give rise to wrong views. After my Nirvana, the Dharma will be entrusted to the king, ministers, and advisors, who should diligently protect it and prevent its decline; like passing on a torch, transmit the True Dharma, like turning the Dharma wheel, propagate the Dharma, so that it may never be interrupted throughout the endless future. If one can practice according to the Buddha's teachings, then the Dragon Kings in the country will be pleased, the weather will be favorable, the gods will rejoice, the country will be prosperous, peaceful, and secure, all disasters will be eliminated, the whole country will be peaceful and tranquil, the king will be healthy and happy, and will forever maintain his honorable position, his blessings will increase and lengthen, he will have no worries or afflictions, his lifespan will increase, and his present reputation will spread throughout the ten directions. Foreign kings will all praise: ‘The emperor of that country is kind, humble, loyal, and filial, he uses the Dharma to teach the people, and saves them from suffering, he is the best among all countries. We should all submit to this great Dharma King, and after abandoning this life, we will be reborn in the heavens, enjoy supreme and wonderful bliss, and eventually attain Bodhi!’’ ‘Furthermore, Great King! All dharmas are empty in nature, impermanent, and subject to destruction. For example, someone in a night dream sees beautiful gardens, mountains, rivers, people, lush forests and clear springs, halls, houses, and pavilions that are all lovely and delightful, but when they wake up, they see nothing at all. Great King, you should know! The throne you inherit, as well as your lifespan, all the wonderful pleasures, the free and honorable status, the enjoyment of the five desires, elephants, horses, carriages, parents, brothers, sons, daughters, consorts, all the people of the country, even servants, gold, silver, treasures, clothing, food, and all the storehouses, will all be abandoned at the time of death. These things are all impermanent and subject to destruction, difficult to maintain for long, their nature is unstable, and they will eventually be scattered; they are fearful places, capable of producing suffering and affliction, without ‘self’ or ‘what belongs to self,’ and without a master. You should always observe these truths and not be lax or negligent.’ ‘Furthermore, Great King! For example, a large tree, first grows leaves and flowers, then bears fruit, and when the fruit is ripe, it gradually falls off; the green leaves gradually turn yellow, and then all wither and fall, eventually disappearing completely, leaving only the empty trunk. After the trunk withers, a great fire comes, and the fierce flames burn, soon turning it to ashes.’ ‘Furthermore, Great King! Like the sun and the moon --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，有大威力，具大光明，能令黑闇悉皆除尽，此亦不久终归磨灭。大王！如是当观无常、无我灭坏之事，应生怖惧。而作国王当以法化，勿行非法，常修众善，不随恶行。 “复次，大王！譬如四面各有大山，从四方来，坚固一段，无有空缺，上陵大虚，下磨地界，于中所有草木、丛林及诸生类，无一飞走能得免者，无有壮夫而为拒敌，亦无能以咒、药、财物可令回去。大王！人间四山亦复如是，谓老、病、死及以失势。大王！老若来时，令人衰悴；疾病若至，能生苦恼；死期现前，必当命断；势若失时，灭其威力。 “复次，大王！如师子王，骏疾多力，爪牙锋利，入鹿群中，随意取食，无能为碍，此诸兽类被他所胁，无有自在。大王当知！一切众生被死箭射，无有豪强，无归无护；命欲断时，骨节离解，血肉干燥，口不能言，手足撩乱，势力都尽；涎唾、便利遍污其身，眼等六根悉皆闭塞，喉中气逆，饮食不通；念念之间后识将尽，无始时来生老病死，苦海流转随业而去；即于此时命根将断，随所作业皆悉现前，琰摩使人甚可怖畏，黑闇长夜无能违逆；出入之息溘然而尽，独行无侣，所向慞惶。舍此人间，趣于后世，将坠大坑，入深闇处；惟涉险道，无复资粮；业风所吹，不知前路，尔时厄难无别归 现代汉语译本：拥有大威力和大光明，能够使黑暗完全消除，但这也无法长久，最终会消磨殆尽。大王！应当这样观察无常、无我、灭坏的道理，从而产生恐惧之心。作为国王，应当以正法教化百姓，不要施行非法之事，经常修习各种善行，不要随顺恶行。 再者，大王！譬如四面各有大山，从四方而来，坚固地堆积在一起，没有空隙，向上逼近天空，向下磨损大地，其中所有的草木、丛林以及各种生物，没有一个能够飞走逃脱，没有强壮的人能够抵挡，也没有人能够用咒语、药物、财物使它退回去。大王！人间的四座大山也是如此，指的是衰老、疾病、死亡以及失去权势。大王！衰老到来时，使人衰弱憔悴；疾病到来时，能够产生痛苦烦恼；死亡的期限到来时，必定会断绝性命；权势失去时，消灭其威力。 再者，大王！如同狮子王，迅猛强壮，爪牙锋利，进入鹿群中，随意捕食，没有谁能够阻碍，这些兽类被它所胁迫，没有自由。大王应当知道！一切众生被死亡之箭射中，没有豪强可以幸免，没有依靠，没有庇护；生命将要断绝时，骨骼关节分离解体，血肉干燥，口不能说话，手脚慌乱无措，势力完全耗尽；口水、大小便沾污全身，眼等六根全部闭塞，喉咙里的气息逆行，饮食无法下咽；念念之间，最后的意识将要消失，从无始以来，在生老病死的苦海中流转，随着业力而去；就在此时，性命的根源将要断绝，随着所造的业力，各种景象都会显现出来，阎摩（Yama，死神）的使者非常可怕，黑暗漫长的夜晚无法违抗；呼出吸入的气息突然停止，独自前往，没有伴侣，所去之处惊慌失措。舍弃这个人世间，前往后世，将要坠入大坑，进入深深的黑暗之处；只能走过危险的道路，没有资粮；被业力的风所吹动，不知道前面的道路，这时厄运灾难没有别的归宿。

English version: Possessing great power and great light, capable of completely eliminating darkness, but this too will not last long and will eventually be worn away. Great King! You should observe impermanence, non-self, and destruction in this way, thereby generating a sense of fear. As a king, you should transform the people with the Dharma, do not engage in illegal activities, constantly cultivate various good deeds, and do not follow evil actions. Furthermore, Great King! It is like four great mountains on each side, coming from the four directions, firmly piled together, without gaps, pressing against the sky above and grinding the earth below. Among them, all the grasses, trees, forests, and various living beings, none can fly away and escape, no strong man can resist, and no one can use spells, medicines, or wealth to make it retreat. Great King! The four mountains of the human world are also like this, referring to old age, sickness, death, and loss of power. Great King! When old age comes, it makes people weak and haggard; when sickness comes, it can produce pain and suffering; when the time of death arrives, life will surely be cut off; when power is lost, it destroys its power. Furthermore, Great King! It is like the lion king, swift and strong, with sharp claws and teeth, entering a herd of deer, preying at will, and no one can hinder it. These beasts are coerced by it and have no freedom. Great King, you should know! All beings are shot by the arrow of death, and no powerful person can escape, without reliance, without protection; when life is about to end, the bones and joints separate and disintegrate, the flesh and blood dry up, the mouth cannot speak, the hands and feet are flustered and helpless, and the strength is completely exhausted; saliva and excrement stain the whole body, the six senses, including the eyes, are all closed, the breath in the throat goes against the flow, and food cannot be swallowed; between thoughts, the last consciousness is about to disappear, from beginningless time, flowing in the sea of suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death, going with karma; at this moment, the root of life is about to be cut off, and with the karma created, various scenes will appear, the messengers of Yama (the god of death) are very terrifying, the dark and long night cannot be resisted; the exhaled and inhaled breath suddenly stops, going alone, without companions, and panicking in the direction to go. Abandoning this human world, going to the afterlife, about to fall into a big pit, entering a deep dark place; can only walk through dangerous roads, without provisions; blown by the wind of karma, not knowing the road ahead, at this time, there is no other place to return to from misfortune and disaster. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 依，于此时中随业受报。

“大王！有陀罗尼，名曰胜幡。若人先时曾受持者，于生死中能为善伴，共相救护。大王善听！我今为说。咒曰： “南谟释迦牟奈曳 怛他揭多也 阿罗𠿒帝三藐三勃陀也 怛侄他唵 苫谜苫谜 萨婆波跛 钵罗苫末泥(去)莎诃” 佛告大王：“此陀罗尼诸佛所说，于日日中清净澡漱，常诵七遍，有大威神能为救济——如遭极寒，遇炎火聚；如大热时，得清冷水；盛夏寻路，逢好树阴；如渴，遇清泉；如饥，得美食；如病，蒙咒药，又复遇良医；如怯怖人，得强壮伴。大王！如是有福之人临欲死时，有好瑞相，而为导引。大王！于此时中唯有善法，共相护念，为作归依，惟此陀罗尼善能救济。是故大王！常当日日诵此神咒，能得消除一切罪障，复能生长无量福因，当善观察，无常灭坏究竟空无，于死门中生大恐怖，以善化世莫行恶法，常修福业起大慈悲。何以故？然于此身常所爱护，供以名厨上妙饮食，随时偃息，无忧自在。虽受如是殊胜之乐，终归不免临死之际饥火来逼，乏食而死。 “复次，大王！所著衣服皆是微妙——迦尸、白叠、锦绮、绫罗、凉燠。顺时任情受乐，终归不免临死之际委卧床席，回转随人，垢腻萦身，衾裳沾体，能令见者生可恶心。 现代汉语译本 依此，于临终之时，随着各自所造的业力而承受相应的果报。 ‘大王！有一种陀罗尼（dharani，总持），名字叫做胜幡。如果有人先前曾经受持这个陀罗尼，那么在生死轮回之中，它能成为你的善友，共同互相救护。大王仔细听好！我现在为你宣说。咒语是： ‘南谟释迦牟奈曳（Namo Shakyamunaye，皈命礼敬释迦牟尼佛） 怛他揭多也（Tathagataya，如来） 阿罗诃帝三藐三菩陀也（Arhate Samyak-sambuddhaya，应供、正等觉） 怛侄他（Tadyatha，即说咒曰） 唵（Om，种子字） 苫谜苫谜（Shame Shame） 萨婆波跛（Sarva papa，一切罪恶） 钵罗苫末泥（Prashamane，寂灭） 莎诃（Svaha，成就）’ 佛告诉国王说：‘这个陀罗尼是诸佛所说的，每天清净地洗漱之后，经常诵持七遍，具有巨大的威神力量，能够救济众生——就像遇到极度寒冷时，遇到燃烧的火焰；就像在大热天时，得到清凉的水；盛夏赶路时，遇到好的树荫；就像口渴时，遇到清澈的泉水；就像饥饿时，得到美味的食物；就像生病时，蒙受咒语的治疗，又遇到良医；就像胆怯害怕的人，得到强壮的同伴。大王！像这样有福报的人，在临终的时候，会有好的瑞相，来引导他。大王！在这个时候，只有善法，共同互相护念，为他作为归依，只有这个陀罗尼能够很好地救济他。所以大王！要经常每天诵持这个神咒，能够消除一切罪障，又能增长无量的福德因缘，应当好好观察，世间万物无常变灭，最终归于空无，在死亡的关口产生巨大的恐怖，用善行来教化世人，不要做恶事，经常修习福德事业，生起广大的慈悲心。为什么呢？因为对于这个身体，我们经常爱护，用名贵的厨师烹饪的美味饮食来供养它，随时休息，没有忧愁，自由自在。虽然享受这样殊胜的快乐，最终还是免不了在临死的时候，饥饿的火焰来逼迫，因为缺乏食物而死去。 ‘再者，大王！所穿的衣服都是精美微妙的——迦尸（Kasi，一种精细的布料）、白叠（baidie，棉布）、锦绮（jinqi，丝织品）、绫罗（lingluo，丝织品）、凉燠（liangyu，轻薄的丝织品）。顺应时节，随心所欲地享受快乐，最终还是免不了在临死的时候，委顿地躺在床席上，翻身转动都要依靠别人，污垢油腻缠绕在身上，被子和衣服都沾满了身体，能够让见到的人产生厌恶之心。’

English version Accordingly, at the time of death, one receives retribution according to the karma one has accumulated. 'Great King! There is a dharani (总持), named Victorious Banner. If someone has previously received and upheld it, then in the cycle of birth and death, it can be a good companion, mutually protecting and aiding. Great King, listen carefully! I will now speak it for you. The mantra is: 'Namo Shakyamunaye (皈命礼敬释迦牟尼佛, Homage to Shakyamuni Buddha) Tathagataya (如来, Thus Come One) Arhate Samyak-sambuddhaya (应供、正等觉, Worthy One, Perfectly Enlightened One) Tadyatha (即说咒曰, Thus it is) Om (种子字, Seed syllable) Shame Shame (苫谜苫谜) Sarva papa (一切罪恶, All sins) Prashamane (寂灭, Pacifier) Svaha (成就, Accomplishment)' The Buddha told the king: 'This dharani is spoken by all the Buddhas. After cleansing and rinsing every day, constantly recite it seven times. It has great majestic power and can rescue beings—like encountering burning flames in extreme cold; like obtaining cool water in great heat; like finding good shade when traveling in the hot summer; like encountering a clear spring when thirsty; like obtaining delicious food when hungry; like being treated with mantra medicine and meeting a good doctor when sick; like a timid and fearful person obtaining a strong companion. Great King! Such a blessed person will have auspicious signs at the time of death to guide them. Great King! At this time, only good dharmas can mutually protect and support them, serving as their refuge. Only this dharani can effectively rescue them. Therefore, Great King! Constantly recite this divine mantra every day, which can eliminate all sins and obstacles, and also generate immeasurable blessings. You should carefully observe that all things are impermanent and subject to destruction, ultimately returning to emptiness. At the gate of death, great terror arises. Use good deeds to transform the world, do not engage in evil deeds, constantly cultivate meritorious deeds, and generate great compassion. Why? Because we constantly cherish and protect this body, offering it delicious food prepared by renowned chefs, resting at any time, without worry, and freely. Although we enjoy such supreme happiness, we ultimately cannot avoid the approach of the flames of hunger at the time of death, dying from lack of food.' 'Furthermore, Great King! The clothes you wear are all exquisite and delicate—Kasi (一种精细的布料, a fine fabric), baidie (棉布, cotton cloth), jinqi (丝织品, silk brocade), lingluo (丝织品, silk fabrics), liangyu (轻薄的丝织品, light silk fabrics). Enjoying pleasure according to the seasons and desires, you ultimately cannot avoid lying weakly on the bed at the time of death, relying on others to turn and move, with dirt and grease covering your body, and the blankets and clothes sticking to your skin, causing those who see you to feel disgusted.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
