Aspiration
Fifteen works that bring the Dhāraṇī section to a conclusion with aspiration prayers, dedication, and expressions of auspiciousness.
Only two of these works, the Prayer of Maitreya (byams pa’i smon lam, Toh 1096) and Prayer of Sublime Action (mchog gi spyod pa’i smon lam, Toh 1097), are unique to this section and not duplicates of works elsewhere in the Kangyur.

The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm”
སྟོང་ཆེན་མོ་རབ་ཏུ་འཇོམས་པའི་སྨོན་ལམ། · stong chen mo rab tu ’joms pa’i smon lam
Summary
This short text contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings.
