Then, beholding Mahashri, the Blessed One spoke these words to the powerful lord, the noble Avalokiteshvara: “If any fully-ordained monk, fully-ordained nun, novice monk, novice nun, or anyone else should come to keep, to read, to write down, or to have others write down the 12 Names of Mahashri, then, their poverty will be eliminated, and they will become wealthy.
