Namakāra-siddhi Gāthā The Verses on Success through Homage

Yo cakkhumā moha-malāpakaṭṭho

Sāmaṃ va buddho sugato vimutto

Mārassa pāsā vinimocayanto

Pāpesi khemaṃ janataṃ vineyyaṃ.

The One with Vision, with the stain of delusion removed,

Self-awakened, Well-Gone, & Released,

Freed from the snares of Mortal Temptation,

He leads humanity from evil to security.

I pay homage with my head to that excellent Buddha,

The Protector & Mentor for the world,

By the power of this, may you have triumph & success,

And may all your dangers be destroyed.

Niyyāniko dhamma-dharassa dhārī

The Teacher's Dhamma, like a banner,

Shows the path of purity to the world.

Leading out, upholding those who uphold it,

Rightly accomplished, it brings pleasure, makes peace.

Is victor over the evils & corruptions of the world.

Self-calmed, it is calming & without fetter,

And makes the well-taught Dhamma be known.
