Jaya Paritta
The Victory Protection
Mahā-kāruṇiko nātho
Hitāya sabba-pāṇinaṁ
Pūretvā pāramī sabbā
Patto sambodhim-uttamaṁ
Etena sacca-vajjena
Hotu te jaya-maṅgalaṁ
(The Buddha), our protector, with great compassion
for the welfare of all beings,
having fulfilled all the perfections,
attained the highest self-awakening.
Through the speaking of this truth,
may you have a victory blessing.
Jayanto bodhiyā mūle
Sakyānaṁ nandi-vaḍḍhano
Evaṁ tvam vijayo hohi
Jayassu jaya-maṅgale
Victorious at the foot of the Bodhi tree,
was he who increased the Sakyans’ delight.
May you have the same sort of victory.
May you win victory blessings.
Aparājita-pallaṅke
Sīse paṭhavi-pokkhare
Abhiseke sabba-buddhānaṁ
Aggappatto pamodati
At the head of the lotus leaf of the world
on the undefeated seat consecrated by all the Buddhas,
he rejoiced in the utmost attainment.
Sunakkhattaṁ sumaṅgalaṁ
Supabhātaṁ suhuṭṭhitaṁ
Sukhaṇo sumuhutto ca
Suyiṭṭhaṁ brahmacārisu
Padakkhiṇaṁ kāya-kammaṁ
Vācā-kammaṁ padakkhiṇaṁ
Padakkhiṇaṁ mano-kammaṁ
Paṇidhī te padakkhiṇā
Padakkhiṇāni katvāna
Labhantatthe, padakkhiṇe
A lucky star it is, a lucky blessing,
a lucky dawn, a lucky sacrifice,
a lucky instant, a lucky moment,
a lucky offering: i.e., a rightful bodily act,
a rightful verbal act, a rightful mental act,
your rightful intentions with regard to those who lead the holy life.
Doing these rightful things,
your rightful aims are achieved.
