Original text and translations

English text

With mandarava, blue lotus and jasmine,
With all flowers pleasing and fragrant,
And with garlands, skilfully woven,
I pay honour to the princes of the Sages,
so worthy of veneration.

I envelop them in clouds of incense,
Sweet and penetrating;
I make them offerings of food, hard and soft
And pleasing kinds of liquids to drink.

I offer them lamps encrusted with jewels,
Festooned with golden lotus.
On the paving sprinkled with perfume,
I scatter handfuls of beautiful flowers.

Mahāmuni Shākyamuni svāhā

Om muni mahāmuni
