Original text and translations

English text

With mandārava, 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.

Om muni muni mahāmuni Shākyamuni svāhā. [Mantra: "O Sage, O Sage, O Great Sage, O Shākyan Sage, all Hail!"
