Translation. =; 
O ye divinities ! all hail !—(Ye) all the eight classes of the 
divine imps (S. Rakshasas) ; also ye gods, regents of the planets, 
constellations (in the path of the moon), and of the lunar days, 
having your influence upon the year, the lunation (or lunar 
month), and the different seasons or periods ; ye possessors of 
the earth or land (land-proprietors), all the eight kinds of the 
Nagas (Hydras), &c. Ye powerful chiefs and attendants, 
Visunu Ranuna, and the menial (instrumental cause) Vis’hti ; 
ye goddesses (or nymphs) pi-ling-khraa ts-’ha, &c.; ye fierce 
ior 1 ho dwell i 
inferior imps, who li in (or towards) the cardinal, inter- 
those regions, wherein the sun this day is moving, ye all look on 
this emblem (seal, image, or signed writ, &c.) of Hu, the regent 
or governor, (or set up, or erected by Hv.) Ye divine eight 
rincipal imps (Rakshasas), rulers of the world (or keepers of 
ight), I beseech you, that you will make that this patron, the 
bestower of charitable gifts, for obtaining the fruit of his works 
and actions, who is very faithful to the doctrine of the Muni 
(SHaKYA), may together with his household or family, increase 
more and more, and abound inlife, fortune, (prosperity), honour, 
in all his substance or wealth, like the increasing face o 
the moon. Om akani nékani abhila mandala, mantryé, Svaha ; 
Sarva mangalam.
