Fortune and Misfortune

Fortune  and Misfortune

Two Goddesses, who cannot decide precedence, vie with each other for lying on a virtuous householder’s couch. The one who is even more virtuous than the householder wins.

Sirī and Kālakaṇṇi

Attanā kurute lakkhiṁ,      alakkhiṁ kurutattanā,
Na hi lakkhiṁ alakkhiṁ vā,      añño aññassa kārako.

Fortune and Misfortune
By oneself is fortune made, misfortune is made by oneself,
No one is the maker of fortune and misfortune for another.

"Arahato" means "The Worthy One."

"Samma Sambuddhassa" revers the Buddha as "The One Who Is Fully Enlightened."

Buddhaṃ saranaṃ gacchāmi.  

 I go to the Buddha as my refuge.
