BAUDDHA TRACTS FROM NEPAL. 459 



with her train, and the protecting ^ Panchabaksha, be propitious to you— 

 I adore them. 



3. May Retnagerbha, Dipankara, the Jina Manikusuma, Vipasyi, 

 SiKHi, ViswABHU, Kakutsa, Kanaka, the Muni of Munis Kasyapa, and Sakya 

 SiNHA, * the Buddhas past, present, and future, the ocean of whose excellence 

 is not to be passed by the ten faculties, be propitious to you — I adore them. 



4. May the chief of sages and saints, the excellent son of Ji7ia, Avalo- 

 KESWARA, may Maitreya, Anantaganja, Vajrapani, and the great chief 

 Manjunath, Sarvanivarana, and the illustrious pair KsHixfoERBHA and 

 Khagerbha, ^ be propitious to you — I adore them. 



3. These Goddesses are considered by Mr. Hodgson, as belonging to the genuine Baud- 

 dha system and the Swahhdvika school— being spontaneous matiifestations of matter, like other 

 existent beings, man incluiled. Some of them are known by other names, as fciAMPATPRADA, the 

 giver of wealth is also Vasundhara, the earth — Kitivaravadana, the hog-faced, is also Marichi, 

 perhaps intending Radiance; Kutilakhakshi, the inimmerably-eyed, is named Pratingira. The 

 Panrharalishd, the five Rakshas, or protecting powers, are styled Pratisaha, Maiiasahasrapra- 

 MERDDiNi, Mahamayuri, Mahasetavati, and Mahamantranusarini. Without possessing 

 the legends attached, no doubt to each, it would be unsafe to analyse these terms. 



4-, We have here Ten mortal Buddhas. The last seven have been already the object of 

 remark. The three first are assigned by some, not the best authorities, to the Satt/a yuga. 



5. These nine are Bodhisatwas, supposed to bear to the Dhydni, or celestial BuddahSf the 

 relation of Sons : thus — 



AvALoKESivARA, is the Son of Amitabha. 



IvIaitreya, „ Vairochana. 



Anantaganja, „ Akshobbya, 



Samantabhadra, „ Vairochana, 



Vajrapani, „ Akshobhya. 



Manjunath „ Ditto. 



Sarvanivarana Vish- 



kambhi, „ Amogha. 



Kshitigerbha, „ Retnasambhava. 



Khagerbha, „ Amitabha. 



Of these, the first, who is the same with Padmapani, the fourth and the fifth, are included in original 

 systems amongst the Dhr/anibodkisatwas (see page 64-2), but the others are of mortal orio-in, and, 

 therefore, very inconsistently derived from celestial progenitors.
