Summary
s.1This short text contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings.
s.1這篇短文包含了佛陀為了結束毘舍離瘟疫而宣說的一組偈頌，摘錄自該事件的兩個主要記載之一。這些偈頌呼求吉祥，特別是通過祈請三寶的功德以及各種已成就的聖者和著名的天神。本文由原始文獻的兩段內容組成，其中第一段也是最長的一段與著名的巴利文經典《寶經》的內容十分相近，《寶經》在巴利佛教傳統中被廣泛誦讀以祈求護佑和加持。
