大隨求陀羅尼經咒圖

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。〈隨求即得大自在陀羅尼神咒〉圖中圓輪由梵文按同心圓圍繞而成,圓心為一尊坐於蓮上的八臂菩薩像。圓輪下為蓮座,蓮座旁有二天王護持。據《佛說隨求即得大自在陀羅尼神咒經》所載,凡持誦〈隨求即得大自在陀羅尼神咒〉可消除眾生一切罪障、疾病等,亦可得諸天、神、龍之所護念。經文又載,摩伽陀國國王慈愍手,王因無子,求子不得,一夜夢見淨居天子,得知書寫此咒,繫於夫人頸部。後王得一子,相貌莊嚴。
 圖下部刊刻題記「大隨求陀羅尼/若有受持此神咒者所/在得勝若有能書寫帶/在頭者若在臂者是人/能成一切善事最勝清/淨常為諸大龍王之所/擁護又為諸佛菩薩之/所憶念此神咒能與眾/生最勝安樂不為夜叉/羅剎諸鬼神等為諸惱/害亦不為寒熱等病之/所侵損厭蠱咒咀不能/為害先業之罪受持消/災持此咒者常得安樂/無諸疾病色相熾盛圓/滿吉祥福德增長一切/咒法皆悉成就……太平興國五/年(980)六月二十五日雕板畢手記」,載明持此咒之功德利益及紀年。經輪左右兩側刊刻「王文沼雕板」、「施主李知順」,得知雕造者及功德主姓名。
 內框四角有四圓形,外框有十六圓形,內為蓮花和種子文字或護法;外框圓相之間刻金剛杵。全圖圓形與方形相互套合,也是曼荼羅圖像講究的格局。
