404 Translation of the Naipdliya Devata Kalydna. QNo. 137 



the mountain of Charugiri" for the preservation of mankind, be propi- 

 tious to us all. I adore him. 



10. May Sarveswara Vitaraga, who is the portion of the Bodhisatwa 

 Vajra Pani, left on earth, in the form of a kalas, for the preservation 

 of mankind by that Deity when himself descended for the purpose of 

 relieving the Vajra Acharya named Sarva Pada, be propitious to us all. 

 I adore him. 



11. May Gattesa Vitaraga, the form assumed by Manja Deva for a 

 portion of himself in order to awaken the ignorant and idle and sensual 

 Manja Gartho, and convert him into a profoundly learned sage, be pro- 

 pitious to us all. I adore him. 



12. May Phanindreswara Vitaraga, the form assumed for a portion 



of himself by Sarvani Varana Viskambhi Bodhisatwa, that Bodhisatwa 



desirous of the form of a fish, the wearer of huge serpents as ornaments, 



and who, having fulfilled the desires of Oriya Acharya, took the form 



of a fish, be propitious to us. 1 adore him. 



J 2. The address here (as in the other instances) is chiefly, if not solely, to the Vita- 

 raga : yet it is hardly possible to give unity to it : and the sense and grammar would 

 be improved by putting a "may" before the words "that Bodhisatwa," and so making 

 the address both to the Bodhisatwa and to his individuated portion. 



13. As Oriyana covered by his umbrella was performing penance 

 on the banks of the Vachmati, the Bodhisatwa Prithwigarbha suddenly 

 appeared, and established a portion of himself as Gandhesa Vitaraga, 

 the friend of all, and standing in the presence of Lokanatha, may 

 Gandhesa b.e propitious to us. I adore him. 



14. Oriya, delighted at having obtained perfection by his severe 

 ascetic exercises, began, whilst he contemplated the son of Amitabha, 

 to blow the shell. At its sound Khagarbha Bodhisatwa became mani- 

 fest; that Khagarbha whose heart is obedient to the will of Loknatha, 

 and who having, in obedience to his will, issued from the conch and 

 established a portion of himself as Vakrameswara Vitaraga, departed 

 to his own abode. May Vikrameswara be propitious to us. I adore him. 



14. The rendering of this stanza was a matter of some difficulty. Two or three com- 

 ments were referred to, and the mention of Oriya reintroduced in obedience to the best 

 of them, and to the living authority already alluded to. The "son of Amitabha, 

 mentioned in this stanza is Padma Pani : and the Lokanatha, Avalokeswara, and 

 Abjapani of preceding and succeeding stanzas are different names for the same Deity. 

 He is considered the Lord and Master, in an especial manner, of the eight. Vitaragas.
