Parittaṁ yaṁ bhaṇantassa – nisinnaṭṭhāna dhovanaṁ
Udaka’mpi vināseti – sabbameva parissayaṁ
Sotthinā gabbha vuṭṭhānaṁ – yañ ca sādheti taṁ khaṇe
Therassaṅgulimālassa – lokanāthena bhāsitaṁ
Kappaṭṭhāyiṁ mahātejaṁ – parittaṁ taṁ bhaṇāmahe
Even the water that is used to wash / the seat which Arahant Aṅgulimāla sat on / and recited this paritta, / that water can end all sufferings. If a pregnant mother suffers from any pain, / she will be well and be strong enough / to stand instantly. Now we shall recite that very powerful paritta / taught by the Buddha, / to Arahant Aṅgulimāla / which will hold its power for an aeon.

Yato’haṁ bhagini, ariyāya jātiya jāto nā’bhijānāmi saṁcicca pāṇaṁ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā’ti.
“Sister, from the day I was born / in the Noble Birth / which leads to supreme Nibbāna, / from that day on / I am not aware of myself / killing any living beings deliberately. By this truth / may you be well! / May the delivery of your child / be peaceful!”

Etena saccena suvatthi hotu!
By this truth, may there be well-being!

Well Kassapa, how is it with you? Are you bearing up, are you enduring your bodily suffering? Do your pains decrease or increase? Are there signs of your pains decreasing and not increasing?

Learn about the meaning of the word Tathāgata and the Supreme Buddha’s excellent knowledge.

Vuttaṁ hetaṁ bhagavatā. Vuttamarahatā’ti me sutaṁ.
This discourse was taught by the Blessed One, taught by the Arahant, the fully enlightened Supreme Buddha. This is as I heard:

Loko bhikkhave Tathāgatena abhisambuddho. Lokasmā Tathāgato visaññūtto. Lokasamudayo bhikkhave Tathāgatena abhisambuddho. Lokasamudayo Tathāgatassa pahīno. Lokanirodho bhikkhave Tathāgatena abhisambuddho. Lokanirodho Tathāgatassa sacchikato. Lokanirodhagāminī paṭipadā bhikkhave Tathāgatena abhisambuddhā. Lokanirodhagāminī paṭipadā Tathāgatassa bhāvitā.
Monks, the world has been fully understood by the Tathāgata; the Tathāgata is detached from the world. Monks, the origin of the world has been fully understood by the Tathāgata; the origin of the world has been eradicated by the Tathāgata. Monks, the cessation of the world has been fully understood by the Tathāgata; the cessation of the world has been realized by the Tathāgata. Monks, the way leading to the cessation of the world has been fully understood by the Tathāgata; the way leading to the cessation of the world has been developed by the Tathāgata.
