5.1Once when young Rāhulabhadra had gone to Rājagṛha to receive alms, he went to the Veṇuvana grove, and there descended into a long pond to wash his alms bowl. While there, he, the son of Yaśodharā, was mistaken for a white ascetic and so was pulled into the pond. At that time the young Rāhulabhadra recited this spell. No sooner had he recited the mantra than—just like someone emerging from his house—he arrived in the presence of the Blessed One.
5.1年輕的羅侯羅跋陀羅曾經去王舍城乞食，來到了竹園，在那裡走進一個很長的池塘洗淨他的缽。在那裡，耶輸陀羅的兒子被誤認為是白色的苦行者，因此被拉進了池塘。當時年輕的羅侯羅跋陀羅念誦了這個咒語。他才一念完咒語，就像從自己家裡走出來一樣，出現在世尊的面前。
5.2Having approached the Lord, he said, “Father, I have seen the power of the secret mantra which you have granted.”
5.2羅侯羅跋陀羅來到世尊面前，說道：「父親，我已經見證了您所賜予的秘密咒語的力量。」
The Blessed One asked, “Where have you seen that?”
“In the presence of the nāgas. Therefore, I request that the Blessed One teach this mantra, so that other beings too may be protected by it.”
「在龍王面前。因此，我懇求世尊傳授這個咒語，讓其他眾生也能獲得它的保護。」
5.3So then, at that very time and on that occasion, the Lord dispatched Vajrapāṇi, and benevolently granted this mantra and this manual of instruction to the listeners and the bodhisattvas, to the monks and nuns, and to the male [F.39.b] and female lay practitioners. Therefore, children of noble family, one who creates a sandalwood maṇḍala and reads this mantra and this manual of instructions will not be harmed by poison, will not die from poison, and will have no fear of boils, eczema, leprosy, disease, nāgas, snakes, tigers and other beasts of prey, weapons, enemies, poverty, or untimely death. None of these will occur.
5.3那麼，在那個時候和那個場合，世尊派遣金剛手菩薩，慈悲地將這個咒語和這部修行指南傳授給聽眾和菩薩們，給比丘和比丘尼，以及男性和女性的在家修行者。因此，具有高貴血統的孩子們，如果有人製作檀香壇城，誦讀這個咒語和這部修行指南，將不會受到毒藥的傷害，不會因毒藥而死亡，也不會害怕膿瘡、濕疹、麻風病、疾病、龍王、蛇類、老虎和其他凶猛野獸、武器、敵人、貧窮或非時死亡。這些都不會發生。
In order to protect the Teachings, the Lord granted Mahākāla the demoness Hārītī, whom he had nourished from his own alms bowl. She, however, was lacking in fortune because of her former bad deeds. She was not agreeable to Mahākāla, and so he did not stay with her, did not love her, and did not protect the Teachings either. She therefore became depressed, and in order to enthrall Mahākāla this Kurukullā compendium was taught. From then on, her fortune became vast and excellent. For that reason, children of noble family, if you wish to enthrall sentient beings you should familiarize yourselves with this mantra and this manual of instructions.
為了護持正法，世尊賜予大黑天一位女神訶利帝母，她是由大黑天用自己的缽盂養育的。然而，她因為過去的惡業而缺乏福報。她不符合大黑天的心意，所以他沒有與她在一起，沒有愛她，也沒有護持正法。因此她變得沮喪，為了迷住大黑天，就傳授了這部紅度母的教法匯編。從那以後，她的福報變得廣大而圓滿。為此緣故，高貴種姓的孩子們，如果你們希望迷住有情眾生，就應該熟悉這部咒語和這部教法匯編。
It also came to pass that Sunanda’s son was born handsome and good looking, athletic and in possession of auspicious marks, and yet nevertheless dull-witted.
蘇難陀的兒子出生時相貌英俊、儀表堂堂、身體健壯、具有吉祥的標誌，然而卻生來遲鈍。
Sunanda therefore said to the Blessed One, “O Lord, my son was born handsome and good looking, athletic and in possession of auspicious marks, and yet nevertheless dull-witted. How, O Lord, may he develop insight? Lord, if this child becomes literate he shall become a protector of your doctrine.”
蘇難陀因此對世尊說：「尊者，我的兒子生來容貌英俊、體格健壯、具有吉祥的標誌，但卻頭腦遲鈍。尊者，他怎樣才能開發智慧呢？尊者，如果這個孩子能夠識字，他就會成為您教法的保護者。」
Upon hearing this, the Blessed One, with words preceded by mindfulness, [F.40.a] spoke this manual of practice and gave this mantra. As soon as he had done so, Sunanda’s son, Rohiṇīkumāra by name, acquired insight. By the twelfth year he was free from being intimidated by any of the treatises, as he was thoroughly acquainted with all of the crafts and arts. Therefore, children of noble family, in order to accumulate great insight, you should study this very mantra and its manual of practice.
世尊聽聞此言，以正念開始說法，教授了這部修行手冊並傳授了這個咒語。一旦他這樣做了，蘇難陀的兒子羅睺尼庫瑪羅獲得了智慧。到了第十二年，他已經精通所有工藝和藝術，因此不再被任何論著所困擾。所以，良家子弟們，為了積累大智慧，你們應該學習這個咒語及其修行手冊。
