Safeguard Recitals (a book of protection chants)

The Fourth Recital - 163
evaṁ naṁ tattha jānanti samuddo saritodako,
thus in that place they know there is an ocean where the waters have flowed,
ito sā Purimā disā, iti naṁ ācikkhatī 1 jano. [61]
from here that is the Easterly direction, so the people declare.
Yaṁ disaṁ abhipāleti Mahārājā yasassi so,
That direction is watched over by a resplendent Great King,
gandhabbānaṁ ādhipati, Dhataraṭṭho iti nāma so. [62]
he is the master of the gandhabbas, Dhataraṭṭha, such is his name.
Ramatī 2 naccagītehi, gandhabbehi purakkhato,
He delights in song and dance, he is honoured by gandhabbas,
puttā pi tassa bahavo, ekanāmā ti me sutaṁ, [63]
he also has a great many sons, all of one name, so I have heard,
asītiṁ dasa eko ca, Indanāmā mahabbalā,
they are eighty and ten and one, Inda by name, ones of great strength,
te cāpi Buddhaṁ disvāna, Buddhaṁ ādiccabandhunaṁ, [64]
they, having seen the Awakened One, the Buddha, kinsman of the sun,
dūrato va namassanti, mahantaṁ vītasāradaṁ:
from afar, do reverence him, who is great and fully mature:
“Namo te purisājañña! Namo te purisuttama! [65]
“Reverence to you, excellent one! Reverence to you, supreme one!
Kusalena samekkhasi, amanussā pi taṁ vandanti,
You have looked on us with goodness, the non-human beings worship you,
sutaṁ netaṁ abhiṇhaso, tasmā evaṁ vademase: [66]
we have heard this repeatedly, therefore we should speak like this:
“Jinaṁ vandatha Gotamaṁ, Jinaṁ vandāma Gotamaṁ,
“You should worship the victor Gotama, we should worship the victor Gotama,
vijjācaraṇasampannaṁ, Buddhaṁ vandāma Gotamaṁ!”” [67]
who has understanding and good conduct, we should worship the Buddha Gotama!””
