Logassa Sutra (Lōgas-sa Sūtra) – Romanized lyrics
Logassa ujjoyagare, dhammāṇaṃ sahiyā maṇe, Eesiṃ jai ṇamokkāraṃ, savva pāvappaṇāsaṇaṃ. Mangalāṇaṃ ca savvesiṃ, padikkamāmi uttamaṃ, Logassa ussiyāraṇam, āriyāṇam ca vandanaṃ. Icchakāraṃ paṭikkammi, savva loe sukhāvahaṃ, Logassa tithayārāṇaṃ, vandāmi savva siddhiyā.
Icchakāraṃ paṭikkammi, savva loe sukhāvahaṃ, Logassa tithayārāṇaṃ, vandāmi savva siddhiyā.
