यो धर्मचक्रं अभिभूय लोकं प्रवर्तयति सर्वभूतनुकम्पितं ।
एतादृशं देवमनुष्यश्रेष्ठं बुद्धं नमस्यामि सुस्वस्ति भोतु ।
धर्मं नमस्यामि सुस्वस्ति भोतु संघं नमस्यामि सुस्वस्ति भोतु मनुष्यतो वा अमनुष्यतो वा ॥ १९ ॥

yo dharmacakraṃ abhibhūya lokaṃ pravartayati sarvabhūtanukampitaṃ |
etādṛśaṃ devamanuṣyaśreṣṭhaṃ buddhaṃ namasyāmi susvasti bhotu |
dharmaṃ namasyāmi susvasti bhotu saṃghaṃ namasyāmi susvasti bhotu manuṣyato vā amanuṣyato vā || 19 ||

I bow before him, the Buddha, the best of men and devas, who, overcoming the world, set rolling the wheel of dharma for the sake of all creation. Let there be prosperity. I bow before the dharma. Let there be prosperity. I bow before the Sangha. Let prosperity come from man and from demon. (19)
