Buddhist Chanting – Maha Jaya Mangala Gatha (The Victory Protection)

 Maha Jaya Mangala Gatha (The Victory Protection)

Maha-karuniko natho
Hitaya sabba-paninam
Puretva parami sabba
Patto sambodhim-uttamam
Etena sacca-vajjena
Hotu te jaya-mangalam
(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 bodhiya mule
Sakyanam nandi-vaddhano
Evam tvam vijayo hohi
Jayassu jaya-mangale
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.

Aparajita-pallanke
Sise pathavi-pokkhare
Abhiseke sabba-buddhanam
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.

Sunakkhattam
sumangalam Supabhatam
suhutthitam Sukhano sumuhutto ca
Suyittham brahmacarisu
Padakkhinam kaya-kammam
Vaca-kammam padakkhinam
Padakkhinam mano-kammam
Panidhi te padakkhina
Padakkhinani katvana
Labhantatthe, padakkhine
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 chaste life.
Doing these rightful things,
your rightful aims are achieved.
