Vocals - Ms. Namrata Mahabal, Backing Vocals & Arrangements - Mr. Jaydeep Vaidya. Lyrics - Shantidev's Bodhicharyavatara. 

Description: These are Sanskrit verses from Shantidev's Bodhicharyavatara, a seminal 7th Century text from Nalanda University. The verses describe taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma & Sangha, taking a vow to achieve enlightenment not merely for oneself, but for the sake of liberating all sentient beings. Singing this daily is a good way to remind ourselves of the noble intent.  

English Transliteration: 
Buddhaṃ gacchāmi śaraṇaṃ yāvadā bodhimaṇḍataḥ
Dharmaṃ gacchāmi śaraṇaṃ bodhisattvagaṇaṃ tathā॥२६॥

Yathā gṛhītaṃ sugatairbodhicittaṃ purātanaiḥ।

Adya buddhakule jāto buddhaputro.asmi sāṃpratam॥२५॥

Jagadadya nimantritaṃ mayā sugatatvena sukhena cāntarā। 
Purataḥ khalu sarvatāyināmabhinandantu surāsurādayaḥ॥३३॥

English translation: 
Until the essence of enlightenment is reached, I go for refuge to the Buddhas.
Also, I take refuge in the Dharma, And in all the host of Bodhisattvas. [26]

Just as all the Buddhas of the past, have brought forth the awakened mind,
And in the precepts of the Bodhisattvas, Step-by-step abode and trained,
Likewise, for the benefit of beings, I will bring to birth the awakened mind,
And in those precepts, step-by-step, I will abide and train myself.

“Today my life has given fruit. This human state has now been well assumed.
Today I take my birth in Buddha’s line, And have become the Buddha’s child and heir.

“And so, today, within the sight of all protectors,
I summon beings, calling them to Buddhahood.
And, till that state is reached, to every earthly joy!
May gods and demigods and all the rest rejoice!”
