It is promised that, invoked by praise, Sarasvat墨 herself will appear and remove all diseases and difficulties.
In chapter 8, the 艢r墨parivarta, the goddess 艢r墨 offers support to the Dharma preacher and good fortune to his audience. A rite which provides prosperity is described, through which 艢r墨 herself enters that place.
