Then the great goddess Śrī said to the Bhagavat, “Bhagavat, in the north there is the city of Vaiśravaṇa, the king of devas, which is called Alakāvati. Not far from that city, there is a park called Puṇya­kusuma­prabha, in which there is an excellent divine palace made of the seven precious materials.

“Bhagavat, I always dwell there, so if anyone wishes to increase each day their accumulation of the five kinds of grain and wishes to increase and fill their treasuries, they should reverently develop a trusting mind and clean a room and plaster the floor with a circle of cow dung. They should paint a representation of my body beautified by various adornments and wash their bodies well. They should wear clean clothes and perfume themselves with excellent ointments, and then enter the clean room.

“For my sake, they should recite the name of that buddha three times, recite the name of this sūtra, develop the aspiration, and recite: ‘I pay homage to the Tathāgata Vaiḍūrya Golden Mountain Precious Flower Glorious Appearance’s Ocean of Qualities.’ Then, holding flowers and incense, they should single-mindedly offer various kinds of food. Moreover, offer incense, flowers, food, and drink to my image. Also, holding food and drink in their hands, they should cast it in another direction, bestowing it on spirits and demons.

“They should supplicate the great goddess Śrī with words of truth and then pray for whatever it is that they seek. Recite: ‘If what you have said are not lies, make my supplication successful!’

“At that time, the great goddess Śrī, knowing this matter, will develop a loving motivation, and the wealth and grain in that house will increase.

“Then repeat the mantra and make me look upon you, and, reciting the names of buddhas of the past and bodhisattvas, reverently pay homage with a single-pointed mind:

“ ‘I pay homage to all the buddhas of the past, the future, and the present.

“ ‘I pay homage to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Ratnaśikhin.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Tathāgata Stainless Light Rays Precious Ornament.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Light of Golden Ornaments.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Essence of a Hundred Golden Lights.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Stack of Precious Golden Parasols.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Victory Banner Golden Flower Light Rays.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Great Lamp.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Great Jewel Crest.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Akṣobhya in the east.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Ratnaketu in the south.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Amitāyus in the west.

“ ‘I pay homage to the Buddha Dundubhisvara in the north.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Maitreya.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Ruciraketu.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Suvarṇaprabha.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Gold Treasury.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Sadāprarudita.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Dharmodgata.

“ ‘I pay homage to the bodhisattva Pleasant Abiding.’

“After having reverently paid homage in that way to those buddhas and bodhisattvas, follow that with repeating the mantra. If you make the great goddess Śrī look upon you, then through the power of this mantra, you will accomplish all the things that you seek.

“ ‘I pay homage to the great goddess Śrī.’

“The mantra is thus:

syād yathedam pratipūrṇavare samantavedanagate mahākārya­pratiprāpaṇe sattvārtha­samatānuprapure āyāna­dharmatā mahā­bhogine mahāmaitre upasaṃhihe saṃgṛhīte samarthānupālane svāhā |

“Bhagavat, if someone invokes me through reciting and possessing this dhāraṇī mantra, I will hear that invocation and will go to them and will fulfill their aspirations.

“Bhagavat, these are words of a rite of empowerment, words that accomplish samādhi, valid words, undeceptive words, a valid practice, and valid good roots for beings.

“Therefore, whoever correctly possesses, reads, and recites this mantra and takes the eight vows for seven days and nights, should in the mornings first wash clean and use a toothpick, and then in the morning offer incense and flowers to all the buddhas, confess their bad actions, and make a dedication and prayer for their own and others’ aspirations to be quickly fulfilled.

“In a cleaned house, or in a solitary place, or in a wilderness, they should make a circle of cow dung and make an offering by burning sandalwood. They should arrange a perfect seat and adorn the place with parasols and flags. They should scatter flower petals within the circle and then with a one-pointed mind repeat the mantra, hoping that I will come there.

“At that time, I will be aware of them and observe them so that I will enter that house, sit upon that seat, and accept the offerings.

“From then on, whenever that person invokes me, I will see them and I will know through their valid words of command whatever it is they aspire to. Whether they are in a village, a town, a wilderness, or a saṅgha temple, I will accomplish whatever it is they aspire to, so that they will attain, as they wished for, gold, wealth, jewels, oxen, sheep, grain, food, drink, and clothes, and they will enjoy perfect pleasures and possessions.

“Then, having attained the perfect, sublime ripening of results, whatever are the best portions should be offered to the Three Jewels and bestowed upon me.

“Arrange a great Dharma gathering and supply the food and drink. Spread a display of incense and flowers and offer it. Having made the offering, sell the remainder of the food that was offered and make an offering with the money obtained. Then I will constantly be present for their entire lifetime and will protect and defend that individual so that there will be no poverty or need, and all that is aspired for will be accomplished as wished for. Sometimes bestow all such things on those who are poor and in need, and do not cherish them for yourself alone out of miserliness.

“Constantly read this sūtra and continually make offerings, and give whatever merit there is to everyone. Dedicate it to their enlightenment and pray that everyone will definitely abandon saṃsāra and quickly attain liberation.”

The Bhagavat then said to the goddess Śrī, “It is excellent, excellent that you promulgate this sūtra in that way, creating an inconceivable benefit for both yourself and others.”
