Follow Pawa on Instagram- The Bliss of Nirvana (Jaymangal Atthagatha) is a chant recommended by the Buddha to destroy negativity and to generate auspiciousness. It proclaims the 8 major victories of the Buddha which are: 1) Victory over Mara 2) Victory over the demon Alavaka 3) Victory over the wild elephant Nalagiri 4) Victory over serial killer Angulimala 5) Victory over the evil intentions of Cinca who sought to defame 6) Victory over the haughty brahmin Saccaka 7) Victory over the serpent king Nandopananda 8) Victory over the false views of Brahma Baka The Verses of the Buddha’s Auspicious Victories: 1.Bāhuṁ sahassam-abhinimmita-sāvudhantaṁ Grīmekhalaṁ udita-ghora-sasena-māraṁ Dānādi-dhamma-vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni. Creating a form with thousand 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. 2.Mārātirekamabhiyujjhita-sabbarattiṁ Ghorampanāḷavakamakkhamathaddha-yakkhaṁ Khantī-sudanta-vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni 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.Nāḷāgiriṁ gaja-varaṁ atimattabhūtaṁ Dāvaggi-cakkamasanīva sudāruṇantaṁ Mettambuseka-vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni 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 goodwill. By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. 4. Ukkhitta-khaggam-atihattha sudāruṇantaṁ Dhāvan-ti-yojana-path’anguli-mālavantaṁ Iddhībhisaṅkhata-mano jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni Very horrific, with a sword upraised in his expert hand, Angulimala’s 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. āna kaṭṭham-udaraṁ iva gabbhinīyā Ciñcāya duṭṭha-vacanaṁ jana-kāya-majjhe Santena soma-vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni Having made a wooden belly to appear pregnant, Cinca 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. ṁ vihāya mati-saccaka-vāda-ketuṁ Vādābhiropita-manaṁ ati-andhabhūtaṁ Paññā-padīpa -jalito jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni 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. ṁ vibudhaṁ mahiddhiṁ Puttena thera-bhujagena damāpayanto Iddhūpadesa-vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni 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 spiritual son Moggallana, set out as serpent-elder to tame him. By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. āha-diṭṭhi-bhujagena sudaṭṭha-hatthaṁ Brahmaṁ visuddhi-jutim-iddhi-bakābhidhānaṁ Ñāṇāgadena vidhinā jitavā munindo Tan-tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni His hands bound tight by the serpent of wrongly held views, Baka, the Brahma, thought himself pure in his radiance & power. The Lord of Sages defeated him by means of his words of knowledge. By the power of this, may you have victory blessings. Etāpi buddha-jaya-maṅgala-aṭṭha-gāthā Yo vācano dinadine sarate matandī Hitvānaneka-vividhāni cupaddavāni Mokkhaṁ sukhaṁ adhigameyya naro sapañño These eight verses of the Buddha’s victory blessings. Whoever person of discernment recites or recalls them day after day without lapsing, destroying all kinds of obstacles, will attain emancipation & happiness.
