If you recite this when you arise, you will accomplish all your aims for that day. If you recite it when you go to sleep, you will experience excellent dreams. If you recite it before you go to war, you will be victorious. If you recite it when you begin an activity, what you wish for will increase. If you recite it daily, longevity, glory, fame, prosperity, auspiciousness, happiness and excellence will all be accomplished abundantly in accordance with your wishes. All harmful actions and obscurations will be purified. Both the higher realms and the excellent Buddhahood -- all aims will be accomplished. This was said by the supreme victor.
