(Wish for a son or daughter, one will have a son or a daughter, Wish for wealth, one
will acquire wealth. Having heard by the wise that being a dear one of celestial beings
can be found in oneself, contemplating goodness within ourselves)

(The Buddhas, the noble men who drank the nectar of the four Noble Truths,
Having come to the victory seat, having defeated Mara together with his mount)
(Sobhita, the noble sage, sits in full glory, shinning like the sun all over the hair at the
back of my head)
(The great sage, the mind of virtue, Elder Kumara Kassapa, the brilliant speaker,
is constantly in my mouth)
(Five elder, Punna Angulimala, Upali, Nanda, and Sivali, have arisen as
auspicious marks at the middle of my forehead)
(The rest of the 80 great leaders, victors, disciples of the victorious Buddha,
sons of the victorious Buddha, shining with the majesty of moral virtue,
are established in the various parts of my body)

(Bound by the power of the Victor’s realm, seven fortress walls arrayed,
against them, may all misfortunes within and without—-caused by such,
things as wind or bile—-be destroyed without remainder through the majesty,
of the unending Victor)
(As I dwell, in all my affairs, always in the cage of the Self-awakened One,
Living grounded in the midst of the Victor’s,
I am always guarded by all of those great noble men)
