DHAJAGGA SUTTA

1. Parittaṃ yaṃ bhaantassa,

Nisinnaṭṭhānadhovanaṃ,

Udakampi vināseti,

Sabbam’eva parissayaṃ.

1. Even the water with which the seat of one who recites this protective Sutta is washed, destroys all calamities.

2. Sotthinā gabbhavuṭṭhānaṃ,

Yañca sātheti takhae,

Therass’Agulimālassa,

Lokanāthena bhāsitaṃ,

Kappaṭṭhāyiṃ mahātejaṃ,

Parittaṃ taṃ bhaṇāma he.

2. This Sutta also brings about an easy delivery for expectant mothers at the very moment it is recited. Oh good people! Let us recite this protective Sutta delivered by the Lord of the world to the Venerable Aṅgulimāla, which has great power and lasts for the entire world cycle.

3. Yatohaṃ, bhagini, ariyāya jātiyā jāto, nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā. Tena saccena sotthi te hontu, sotthi gabbhassa.

3. Oh, sister! Ever since I was reborn in this Noble Birth, I do not remember intentionally taking the life of a being. By this utterance of truth, may there be comfort to you and to the child in your womb.

Agulimālasuttaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.

End of Aṅgulimāla Sutta.
