Pali Chanting by Ven. U Revata in Standard Pali


Sabbāsīvisa jātīnaṃ, dibbamantāgadaṃ viya;
Yaṃ nāseti visaṃ ghoraṃ, sesañcāpi parissayaṃ.
[ Just like divine charms and divine medicines, this (Khandha-sutta) nullifies baneful poison and other perils of all the highly poisonous creatures. ]

Āṇākhettamhi sabbattha, sabbadā sabbapāṇinaṃ;
Sabbasopi nivāreti, parittaṃ taṃ bhaṇāma he.
[ In the scope of authority everywhere, always, for all beings this discourse prevents (the disasters). Let us recite this protective discourse now.]

Virūpakkhehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ Erāpathehi me;
Chabyāputtehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ Kaṇhāgotamakehi ca.
[ May I have loving-kindness towards the Virupakkhas; May I have loving-kindness towards the Erapathas;
May I have loving-kindness towards the Chabyaputtas; May I have loving-kindness towards the Kanhagotamakas.]

Apādakehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ dvipādakehi me;
Catuppadehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ bahuppadehi me.
[ May I have loving-kindness towards footless beings; May I have loving-kindness towards beings with two legs;
May I have loving-kindness towards beings with four legs; May I have loving-kindness towards beings with many legs.]

Mā maṃ apādako hiṃsi, mā maṃ hiṃsi dvipādako;
Mā maṃ catuppado hiṃsi, mā maṃ hiṃsi bahuppado.
[ May footless beings not harm me; May beings with two legs not harm me; May beings with four legs not harm me; May beings with many legs not harm me.]

Sabbe sattā sabbe pāṇā, sabbe bhūtā ca kevalā;
Sabbe bhadrāni passantu, mā kiñci pāpamāgamā.
[ May all beings, all breathing things, all creatures (without exception) meet with good fortune. May none of them come to any evil.]

Appamāṇo buddho, appamāṇo dhammo,
Appamāṇo saṅgho, pamāṇavantāni sarīsapāni;
Ahi vicchikā satapadī, uṇṇanābhī sarabū mūsikā. 
[ Infinite is the Buddha, Infinite is the Dhamma, Infinite is the Sangha. Finite are creeping things: snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, lizards, rats.]

Katā me rakkhā kataṃ me parittaṃ, paṭikkamantu bhūtāni;
So ‘haṃ namo bhagavato, namo sattannaṃ sammāsambuddhānaṃ.
[ I have made the protection, I have made the safeguard. May the (harmful) beings depart. I pay homage to the Blessed One; homage to the seven Buddhas (Vipassi Buddha, Sikhi Buddha, Vessabhu Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, Konagamana Buddha, Kassapa Buddha, Gotama Buddha)].
