Jaya-mangala Gatha (The Verses of the Buddha's Auspicious Victories)

1. Bahum sahassam-abhinimmita-savudhantam / Grimekhalam udita-ghora-sasena-maram / Danadi-dhamma-vidhina jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani //

Creating a form with 1,000 arms, each equipped with a weapon, / Mara, on the elephant Girimekhala, / uttered a frightening roar together with his troops. / The Lord of Sages defeated him by means of such qualities as generosity: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. / [By the power of this, may you have the highest victory blessing.] //

2. Maratirekam-abhiyujjhita-sabba-rattim / Ghorampan'alavaka-makkham-athaddha-yakkham / Khanti-sudanta-vidhina jitava munindo / Tan -tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. //

Even more frightful than Mara making war all night / Was Alavaka, the arrogant unstable ogre. / The Lord of Sages defeated him by means of well-trained endurance: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

3. Nalagirim gaja-varam atimattabhutam / Davaggi-cakkam-asaniva sudarunantam / Mett'ambuseka-vidhina jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. //

Nalagiri, the excellent elephant, when maddened, / Was very horrific, like a forest fire, a flaming discus, a lightning bolt. / The Lord of Sages defeated him by sprinkling the water of good will: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

4. Ukkhitta-khaggam-atihattha sudarunantam / Dhavan-ti-yojana-path'anguli-malavantam / Iddhibhisankhata-mano jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. //

Very horrific, with a sword upraised in his expert hand, / Garlanded-with-Fingers ran three leagues along the path. / The Lord of Sages defeated him with mind-fashioned marvels: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. /

5. Katvana kattham-udaram iva gabbhiniya / Ciñcaya duttha-vacanam jana-kaya-majjhe / Santena soma-vidhina jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. // 

Having made a wooden belly to appear pregnant, / Ciñca made a lewd accusation in the midst of the gathering. / The Lord of Sages defeated her with peaceful, gracious means: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

6. Saccam vihaya mati-saccaka-vada-ketum / Vadabhiropita-manam ati-andhabhutam / Pañña-padipa-jalito jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. //

Saccaka, whose provocative views had abandoned the truth, / Delighting in argument, had become thoroughly blind. / The Lord of Sages defeated him with the light of discernment: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

7. Nandopananda-bhujagam vibudham mahiddhim / Puttena thera-bhujagena damapayanto / Iddhupadesa-vidhina jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. // 

Nandopananda was a serpent with great power but wrong views. / The Lord of Sages defeated him by means of a display of marvels, / sending his son (Moggallana), the serpent-elder, to tame him: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

8. Duggaha-ditthi-bhujagena sudattha-hattham / Brahmam visuddhi-jutim-iddhi-bakabhidhanam / Ñanagadena vidhina jitava munindo / Tan-tejasa bhavatu te jaya-mangalani. // 

His hands bound tight by the serpent of wrongly held views, / Baka, the Brahma, thought himself pure in his radiance and power. / The Lord of Sages defeated him by means of his words of knowledge: / By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. //

9. Etapi buddha-jaya-mangala-attha-gatha / Yo vacano dinadine sarate matandi / Hitvan'aneka-vividhani c'upaddavani / Mokkham sukham adhigameyya naro sapañño. //

These eight verses of the Buddha's victory blessings: / Whatever person of discernment / Recites or recalls them day after day without lapsing, / Destroying all kinds of obstacles, / Will attain emancipation and happiness. //
