Deva Marici Sutra

Thus I have heard, one time,
Bhagavan was in Jetavana Park, Sarasvatti
With 1250 great bhikkhus
At that time, Buddha told the bhikkhus:
“There is a deva whose name is Deva Marici, always pass in front of the sun.
this Deva Marici, no one can see,
can’t be caught by people, can’t be lied by people,
can’t be tied by people, can’t be owed by people
can’t be deceived by enemies.’
Buddha told the bhikkhus:
“If someone knows Deva Marici name,
that person, also can’t be seen, can’t be caught,
can’t be lied, can’t be tied,
can’t be owed,
can’t be deceived by enemies
Buddha told the bhikkhus:
“If there is a virtuous man, virtuous woman,
hear Deva Marici name, should say this:
“I, student xxx know this Deva Marici name,
then, no one can see me, no one can catch me,
no one can lie to me, no one can tie me,
no one can owe me,
can’t be deceived by my enemy.’
That time, Buddha then said the mantra that sound:
“Dan zhi ta. An jia mo si. Mo jia mo si
Zhi po luo mo si. Mo he zhi po luo mo si
An duo li ta nuo mo sha he.”
“Protect me while I’m walking, protect me while I’m not walking,
protect me during daylight, protect me during night time,
protect me in the enemies house, protect me in the middle of danger
protect me from robbery misfortune, everywhere,
every time protect me, student xxx, svaha.”
Buddha told the bhikkhus: “If there is a virtuous man, virtuous woman, bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, upasaka, upasika,
King, minister and all residents, etc,
Heard Mantra Marici,
Sincerely chant, won’t be ruined by dangers at above.”
Buddha told the monks: “If someone can write it,
Read it, hold on to it, insert it at her hair bun,
Insert it in the shirt, accompany wherever he/she goes, all disasters,
Will eventually disappear, nothing dare to obstruct.”
After the bhikkhus heard Buddha’s teaching, hold on to it with pleasure.
