50.1At that time Blessed Vajrapāṇi, the general of the yakṣa s who was in the assembly, got up from his seat, draped his upper robe over the left shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, bowed to the Blessed One with his palms pressed together, and made the following request: {50.1}
50.1此時，在集會中的夜叉將軍金剛手菩薩從座位上起身，將上衣搭在左肩上，右膝著地，兩掌合十向世尊作禮，並提出以下祈請：{50.1}
50.2“O Blessed One! You have not fully explained the ritual of the lord of wrath called Yamāntaka that was taught by Mañjuśrī, the divine youth. Nor has Mañjuśrī, the divine youth, explained it. I request you, Blessed One, to teach this ritual, out of regard for human beings during the final age, so that, at the time when you are in the state of complete nirvāṇa, when the teachings have disappeared, during the dreadful time of the worst age when the buddhafield is completely devoid of śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas, the teachings of the tathāgatas may be preserved, the domain of the Dharma may remain for a long time, all wicked kings may be subdued, those who harm the Three Jewels may be suppressed, the inconceivable bodhisattva conduct may bring the virtues of beings who require guidance to completion, and innumerable sentient beings may be brought to complete maturity. {50.2}
50.2「世尊啊！您尚未完全講說文殊師利妙吉祥天童所傳的忿怒主尊閻曼德迦的儀軌，文殊師利妙吉祥天童也未曾講說過。我懇請世尊為了末劫時期的人類著想而講說這個儀軌，以便在您進入完全涅槃、教法已經消亡、處於最惡劣的恐怖年代、佛土完全沒有聲聞和緣覺佛的時候，諸如來的教法能夠被保存，法界的領域能夠長久存在，所有邪惡的國王能夠被制伏，傷害三寶的人能夠被壓制，不可思議的菩薩行能夠使那些需要引導的有情眾生的善根圓滿，無數的有情眾生能夠達到圓滿成熟。」
50.3“During the final eon, Blessed One, when the final age has arrived in which the Sugata’s instructions perish, [F.272.b] [F.289.b] should one practice this rite of the wrathful lord Yamāntaka correctly, one will attain accomplishment. And this lord of wrath should always be used against none other than those evil kings and sentient beings who harm the teachings, such as the great yakṣa s who are extremely powerful and engage in acts of oppression or assistance but lack great compassion.” {50.3}
50.3「世尊！在最後的劫中，當善逝的教法將要衰滅的最後時代來臨之時，如果有人正確修持忿怒主尊閻曼德迦的儀軌，就能獲得成就。這位忿怒主尊應當只用於對治那些邪惡的國王和傷害教法的有情眾生，例如那些力量極其強大、從事壓迫或幫助之事但缺乏大慈悲的偉大夜叉。」
50.4The Blessed One, remaining silent, entered the samādhi called the buddha’s blessing through miraculous transformation. The divine youth Mañjuśrī, too, remained silent. The entire assembly and its surroundings began to shake in six different ways. {50.4}
