नमो ऽस्तु बुद्धाय नमो ऽस्तु बोधये नमो विमुक्ताय नमो विमुक्तये ।
नमो ऽस्तु ज्ञानस्य नमो ऽस्तु ज्ञानिनो लोकाग्रश्रेष्ठाय नमो करोथ ॥ १ ॥
namo 'stu buddhāya namo 'stu bodhaye namo vimuktāya namo vimuktaye |

Homage to the Enlightened One. Homage to his enlightenment. Homage to him who is freed; homage to his freedom. Homage to wisdom; homage to him who is fully wise. Pay homage to the foremost and the best in the whole world. (1)
