[51] Uõhassa vijaya-gāthā 72 Verses On The Victory Over Heat
Atthi uõhassa ro
73 vijayo dhammo loke anutta The unsurpassed dhamma in the world is the victory over heat
sabba-satta-hitatthāya taü tavaü gaõhāhi deva te (and) for the benefit & welfare of all beings. Grasp it for you, oh deity!
parivajje rāja-daõóe amanussehi pāvake Avoid royal punishment, the fires of non-human beings, tigers,
bayagghe nāge vise bhūte akāla-maraõena vā Nāgas, poisons and (evil) spirits having died not at the right time.
sabba-samā maraõā mutto ñhapetvā kāla-māritaü Liberated from death, being the same for all, except death at the proper time
(when one’s life span is up).
tass’ eva ānubhāvena hotu devo sukhī sadā By this power may the deity always be happy.
suddha-sīlaü samādāya dhammaü sucaritaü care Having taken the pure precepts, may he lead a right & and good live.
tass’ eva ānubhāvena hotu devo sukhī sadā By this power may the deity always be happy.
likkhitaü cintitaü pūjaü dhāraõaü vācanaü garuü The Recitation, which has been written, thought about, honored &
maintained, is profound.
paresaü desanaü sutvā tassa āyu pavaóóhatī ti. Having heard (this) teaching from others, one’s life span increases.
[51] "Bhesajjaü" ... "Medicine" ...
Bhesajjaü devamanussānaü kañukaü tittikaü rasaü Medicine for deities and humans is of bitter & sharp taste,
ambilaü lavanañ c’ eva sabba-bayādhi vinassantu; or sour & salty; may all diseases disappear.
eka davi 74 ti catu pañca cha sattādinaü thatā [52] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and so on
72 This and the following chant ("Bhesajjaü" ...) are not included on the CD-Rom of the VRI, nor in any of the consulted Chanting Books (BBC, CG, CGI, PBC, Pūja, SP).
73 CCB: uõhissa (not found in cPED, PED) is probably a misprint, as it was not found in the dictionaries and as the next chant ends: Atthi uõhassa vijayo niññhito.
Gen. sg. from uõha Adj. hot; n. heat (cPED). The literal translation of uõhassa vijayo is ’victory of heat’. Another possibility, which seems to make even less sense:
uõhīsa [Sk. uÉõīÉa] turban (PED)
74 davi = dvi (two)
