Sharing of merits with all beings

By this meritorious deed (may) my highly virtous Teachers, helpful Guardians,

my dear Mother and Father.
Suriyo and Candim kings (the Devas of Sun and Moon), all virtuous humans,
Brahmas, Devas, Mras and Indras (Tvatisa Devas) the world protecting
Devas.
Yama (Devas of the underworld), humans, friends, different ones, enemies too,
may all beings are happy, sharing my merits.
May the triple happiness be attained, (now, after death and finally Nibbna);
soon may all gain release from evil, by this meritorious deed, and through this
sharing.
Soon, indeed may I attain to the good, to the cutting off Cravings attachments,
and all that is low in this flux of being, while striving for my deliverance.
May such evil everywhere be destroyed, as one reappears, existence after
existence; may there be the upright mind, thoughtful wisdom, purity and energy.
May evils (personified as Maras) never approach me, through the power of my
action, the Law, loft, supreme and best.
The Lordly-lone Buddhas and my highest Lords of the Ariya-Sagha, even unto
my final birth, may evils never approach me.
