Medicine Buddha Mantra

The exoteric mantra is found in various sutras of the Healing Buddha corpus.  A word-by-word version with translation follows:

NAMO - Homage to  . . .
BHAGAVATE - the Buddha
BHAISAJYA-GURU - the Healing Master
VAIDURYA-PRABHA-RAJAYA - the King of Lapis Lazuli Radiance
TATHAGATAYA - the Tathagata
ARHATE - the Arhat
SAMYAK-SAMBUDDHAYA - the Perfectly Enlightened One
TAD-YATHA - and now say:
"OM BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYA SAMUDGATE SVAHA"
Om Heal, Heal, Completely Heal, So be it!

The esoteric mantra invokes the outcaste woman Matangi.
