Angulimala Sutta

 the Discourse on Arahant Angulimala

for easy delivery for expectant mothers

Parittam yam bhanantassa,

nisinnatthana dhovanam;

udakampi vinaseti,

sabbameva parissayam.

 

Even the water that washed the seat of one who recites this protective Sutta, destroys all dangers.

 

 

Sotthina gabbha vutthanam,

yanca sadheti tankhane;

therassa ngulimalassa,

lokanathena bhasitam;

kappatthayim mahatejam,

parittam tam bhanama he.

 

This Sutta also brings about a safe childbirth for the pregnant woman at the very moment of the recitation. Oh gentle ones! Let us recite this protective Sutta which lasts for the entire world cycle and has great powers,delivered by the Lord of the world to the Venerable Angulimala.

 

 

Yato'ham bhagini ariyaya jatiya jato,

nabhijanami sancicca panam jivita voropeta;

tena saccena sotthi te hotu sotthi gabbhassa.

 

Oh, sister! Ever since I become the Noble person, I am aware that I have not intentionally taken the life of any living being. By this utterance of truth, may there be well-being to you and to the child.

 

 

Angulimala Suttam Nitthitam.

 

Here ends the Discourse on Arahant Angulimala.
