Katā me rakkhā,
Katā me parittā,
Pañikkamantu bhūtāni.

Namo sattannaü Sammā-sambuddhānaü.

Parittas − Protective Blessings [31]
[30] Vaññaka-paritta The Baby Quail’s Protection 50
I have made this protection,
I have made this spell.
May the beings depart.
I pay homage to the Blessed One,
homage to the seven Perfectly Self-awakened Ones.
There is in this world the quality of virtue, truth, purity, tenderness.
In accordance with this truth I will make an unsurpassed vow of truth.
Sensing the strength of the Dhamma, calling to mind the victors of the past,
In dependence on the strength of truth, I made an unsurpassed vow of truth:
Here are wings with no feathers, here are feet that can’t walk.
My mother & father have left me. Fire, go back!
When I made my vow with truth, the great crested flames
Avoided the sixteen acres around me as if they had come to a body of water. My truth
has no equal: Such is my perfection of truth.
[31] Mora-paritta The Peacock’s Protection 51
The One King, rising, with Vision,
Golden-hued, illumining the Earth:
I pay homage to you, golden-hued, illumining the Earth.
Guarded today by you, may I live through the day.
