[32] Aïgulimāla-paritta (Venerable) Aïgulimāla’s Protection<br />

Sister, since being born in the Noble Birth,<br />

I am not aware that I have intentionally deprived a being of life.<br />

By this truth may you be well, and so may the child in your womb.<br />

[33] Bojjhaïga-paritta The Factor-of-Awakening Protection 53<br />

The factors for Awakening include mindfulness, investigation of qualities,<br />

persistence, rapture, & serenity factors for Awakening, plus<br />

Concentration & equanimity factors for Awakening. These seven,<br />

which the All-seeing Sage has perfectly taught, when developed & matured<br />

bring about heightened knowledge, Liberation, & Awakening.<br />

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.<br />

At one time, our Protector seeing that Moggallana & Kassapa<br />

Were sick & in pain, taught them the seven factors for Awakening.<br />

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