Mañjuśrī spoke, saying oṃ vākyedaṃ namaḥ svāhā. If one retains the names thus spoken Together with the vidyāmantra, One accomplishes the purification of one’s sins.
EN
A person who recites, three times a day, These eight-more-than-a-hundred names Is certain to attain their many wishes In just the way they want them.
EN
If they recollect the felicitous names, Any terrible acts that have been performed That equal those of immediate retribution Will be swiftly purified.
EN
Remembering thus when great frights arise In transition to the world beyond, Those purified sentient beings Will directly encounter Mañjughoṣa.
EN
The intelligent who, upon remembering, Compose themselves and recite Will attain buddhahood if they so desire. Of this there is no doubt.
