Arisen to the highest spiritual medicine, well-proclaimed
01Literal Translation (EN)
Canonical Sanskrit-Pali dhāraṇī of Bhaisajyaguru Vaiduryaprabha (the Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Radiance), preserved in the Wat Suthat royal casting tradition of Somdej Phra Sangharaja (Pae Tissadevo).
Explains the iconographic origin of Phra Kring('Ringing Buddha'): the internal metallic bead (Met Kring) sealed inside the hollow Nawa Loha base resonates with the syllables of the Medicine Buddha's name when shaken, while the miniature gourd held in the palm represents the Agada vessel of Dhamma-medicine.
