Summary
s.1The Tantra of Siddhaikavīra is a tantra of ritual and magic. It is a relatively short text extant in numerous Sanskrit manuscripts and in Tibetan translation. Although its precise date is difficult to establish, it is arguably the first text to introduce into the Buddhist pantheon the deity Siddhaikavīra—a white, two-armed form of Mañjuśrī. The tantra is primarily structured around fifty-five mantras, which are collectively introduced by a statement promising all mundane and supramundane attainments, including the ten bodhisattva levels, to a devotee who employs the Siddhaikavīra and, presumably, other Mañjuśrī mantras. Such a devotee is said to become a wish-fulfilling gem, constantly engaged in benefitting beings. Most of the mantras have their own section that includes a description of the rituals for which the mantra is prescribed and a brief description of their effects. This being a tantra of the Kriyā class, the overwhelming majority of its mantras are meant for use in rites of prosperity and wellbeing.
s.1《成就獨勇密續》是一部儀軌與魔法的密續。這是一部篇幅相對較短的文本，現存於眾多梵文手稿和藏譯本中。雖然其確切年代難以確定，但它可以說是第一部將成就獨勇這位本尊引入佛教本尊圖像的文本——他是文殊菩薩的一種白色、雙臂形象。該密續主要圍繞五十五條咒語而組織，這些咒語通過一項陳述而被集體介紹，該陳述承諾將所有世間和超世間的成就（包括十地菩薩級別）授予採用成就獨勇咒語以及推測還有其他文殊咒語的信徒。據說這樣的信徒將成為如意寶珠，不斷致力於利益眾生。大多數咒語都有自己的部分，包括該咒語所適用的儀軌描述及其功效的簡要說明。由於這是一部事續的密續，其絕大多數咒語都用於財富和福祉儀式。
