Namokāratthaka Gāthā

Homage to the great sage, far from defilement, perfectly enlightened by himself.

Homage to the highest Dhammā, well expounded here by him.

Homage to the great Saṅgha of moral conduct and view most pure.

Homage to the triple Gem, beginning auspiciously with “om”.

Homage to the Triple Gem over passion and vileness.

By the power of this homage may all obstacles disappear.

By the power of this homage, forever may there be well-being.

By making homage successfully, may I succeed in all ways.
