Summary

An esoteric text in the 諸陀羅尼經類 dharani sutras group (1331–1420). The Buddha, while in Magadha, addresses Rahula's distress over being disturbed by spirits. The Buddha explains that various spirits might harass people to test their resolve. The Buddha provides a mantra, the Tantramāyāśloka Sūtra, to be recited with compassion to ward off troublesome spirits. The Buddha assures that reciting this sutra will protect against harm from various sources, including malevolent people, spirits, poisons, and weapons, and instructs Rahula to teach it to others.
