Onmyoji - manga translation
I've been working with Patrick Honnore on transliterating some Siddhaṃ mantras in a manga comic called Onmyoji. It is well known in Japan and has even featured in two feature films, but this will be the first translation into a European language (French). It's work in progress and quite fascinating as the mantras appear to be genuine mantras. However in some cases I've not been able to identify the mantra. I'll post them here and would like to hear from anyone who can identify them.- oṃ pa dmo dbha vā ya svā hā
- oṃ śu ri ma ri ma ma ri ma ri śu śu ri svā hā
- oṃ a mṛ to dbha va hūṃ pha ṭ svā hā (I think this is a Hayagrīva mantra)

Hi JR,
See this: http://www.siddham.org/yuan_english/mantra/emantra_cl_speech.html
The Mantra of Purifying speech:
oṁ śure śure mahā śure śuśure svāhā
Siddham.org usually has weird & incorrect back-translations from Chinese.
May be both the Mantras are the same (or atleast related)
(BTW Siddham.org doesn't show any references for the Mantra)
Hi Vinod and thanks. I've just been looking at your blog - buddhaonthewall - with the wallpaper images. WOW! I particularly like the Medicine Buddha image. It is very beautiful and detailed and the calligraphy is excellent.
Best Wishes
Jayarava
The Siddham-Sanskrit.com guys ought to take the credit for the Siddham Calligraphy :)
