Summary
s.1The Buddha instructs his monks on how to overcome their fears by recollecting the qualities of the Buddha through a set of epithets. This is likened to how Śakra rallies his celestial troops with the sight of his military crest insignia. The sūtra concludes with verses summarizing the teaching and also recommending the recollection of the Dharma and Saṅgha. This is the shorter of two Mahāsūtras with the same title and similar themes.
s.1佛陀教導僧眾如何透過一套尊號來憶念佛陀的德行，從而克服恐懼。這被比作釋迦提桓因以軍隊的幢頂徽章景象來激勵他的天兵天將。經文以偈頌總結教法作為結尾，同時也推薦憶念法和僧伽。這是兩部同名且主題相似的大經中較短的一部。
