Aṅgulimāla Paritta
Ven. Angulimala’s Protection

Yato’haṁ bhagini ariyāya jātiyā jāto,

Nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṁ jīvitā voropetā.

Tena saccena sotthi te hotu sotthi gabbhassa.

Sister, since being born in the Noble Birth,

I am not aware that I have intentionally deprived a being of life.

By this truth may you be well,

and so may the child in your womb.

Bojjhaṅga Paritta
The Factor-for-Awakening Protection

Bojjhaṅgo sati-saṅkhāto

Dhammānaṁ vicayo tathā

Viriyam-pīti-passaddhi-

Bojjhaṅgā ca tathāpare

Samādh’upekkha-bojjhaṅgā

Satt’ete Sabba-dassinā

Muninā sammadakkhā

Bhāvitā bahulīkatā

Saṁvattanti abhiññāya

Nibbānāya ca bodhiyā.

Etena sacca-vajjena

Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

The factors for Awakening include mindfulness, analysis of qualities, persistence, rapture, & calm factors for Awakening, plus concentration & equanimity factors for Awakening.

These seven, which the All-seeing Sage has rightly taught, when developed & matured, bring about heightened knowledge, unbinding, & Awakening.

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.

Ekasmiṁ samaye Nātho

Moggallānañ-ca Kassapaṁ

Gilāne dukkhite disvā

Bojjhaṅge satta desayi

Te ca taṁ abhinanditvā

Rogā mucciṁsu taṁkhaṇe.

Etena sacca-vajjena

Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

At one time, our Protector—seeing that Moggallāna & Kassapa were sick & in pain—taught them the seven factors for Awakening.

They, delighting in that, were instantly freed from their illness.

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.

Ekadā Dhamma-rājā-pi

Gelaññenābhipīḷito

Cundattherena taññeva

Bhaṇāpetvāna daraṁ

Sammoditvā ca ābādhā

Tam vuṭṭhāsi ṭhānaso.

Etena sacca-vajjena

Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Once, when the Dhamma King was afflicted with fever, he had the Elder Cunda recite that very teaching with devotion.

And as he approved, he immediately rose up from that disease.

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.

Panā te ca ābādhā

Tiṇṇannam-pi mahesinaṁ

Maggāhata-kile va

Pattānuppattidhammataṁ.

Etena sacca-vajjena

Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Those diseases were abandoned by the three great seers, just as defilements are demolished by the Path in accordance with step-by-step attainment.

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.
