Dukkhappattādi Gāthā

Freedom from Suffering

Having got suffering, may they not suffer, Having got fear, may they not fear, Having got grief, may they not grieve, [thus] all beings may they be,

to the extent that by us puññā has been attained and collected, may all devas rejoice in [and share] it for the attainment of all fortune.

By faith should gifts be protected. Delightful should meditation be, [thus going to the state of a devatā.

By all Buddhas attained to power, and the power of the solitary ones, and by the might of the Arahants, I bind [this thread] in every way for protection.
