This Clear-eyed One arises, the One King, āUdetayaƱ cakkhumÄ ekarÄjÄ, palomino-colored, shining over the earth. Harissavaį¹į¹o pathavippabhÄso; I bow especially to you, palomino-colored, shining over the earth: Taį¹ taį¹ namassÄmi harissavaį¹į¹aį¹ pathavippabhÄsaį¹, guarded by you let us live out this day. TayÄjja guttÄ viharemu divasaį¹.
Those brahmins who are knowledge-masters with respect to all things, Ye brÄhmaį¹Ä vedagÅ« sabbadhamme, I worship them, may they keep me safe. Te me namo te ca maį¹ pÄlayantu; Hail the Awakened Ones, hail Awakening! Namatthu buddhÄnaį¹ namatthu bodhiyÄ, Homage to the freed ones, homage to freedom! Namo vimuttÄnaį¹ namo vimuttiyÄ; Having made this protection, Imaį¹ so parittaį¹ katvÄ, the peacock wanders seeking. Moro carati esanÄ.
