帝釈天（Sakka）が戦場での恐怖を払うため自軍に自らの旗頭を見よと告げた経で、恐れを克服するため仏法僧の徳を念じる比丘に譬えられ、後に護経として用いられた。

A discourse in which Sakka tells his army to look upon his banner-crest to dispel fear in battle, likened to a monk recalling the virtues of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Saṅgha to overcome fear, later used as a protective chant.
