Reciting the prayer to Jivaka Kumarabaccha with Indic pronunication

Every Thai Massage session and teaching starts with an homage to the founder of Buddhist Medical Sciences Acharya Jivaka Kumarabaccha. I love the sing-song style in which it is delivered. One thing, however, bothered me about this prayer which was that it didn’t seem to sound right
.
Knowing Acharya Jivaka was born in India and that most texts were written in Pali in his time, I often wondered why the pronunciation was a bit off according to me. While I was never an expert in Pali (the language in which the homage is written) I could clearly see that the some words sounded like Sanskrit/ Pali but--not quite. Being a native speaker of several Indian languages, all of which derive from Sanskrit or Pali plus some basic Sanskrit I learnt at school, I started unravelling the prayer.

What I also realised with my travels in Thailand, is that the Thais are often not able to pronounce certain consonants well, like the sound “da” and “ra”. Therefore, by combining the translation I had for the homage, I started the slow process of rewriting this prayer word by word e.g. Here are some of the words that I spotted were being pronounced incorrectly.

As in the Thai Version	Meaning	Correct Sanskrit/Pali  pronunciation
Osata	Medicine	Oshadha
Suryajantang	Sun Moon	Surya Chandam
Pakasesi	Shine on	Prakasesi
Wantami	Salutation	Vandami
Bantito	Learned person	Pundito
Sumetaso	&Wisdom	Sumedhaso
Aroka	Health	Aroga
Piyo	Beloved of	Priyo
Teva	Divine Being	Deva
Naka	Magical Serpent Being	Naga
Pininsiang	Senses	Pinindirang
NamoPuttaya	Salutation to the Buddha	Namobuddhaya
Na A Na Wa	Closing chant in a Mantra	Swa Ha Swa Ha
Aroga	Health	Aroka

I also reached out to a Pali expert Bhikku Nayantusida, a Buddhist monk from Kandy in Sri Lanka and he was able to offer even further insight.
The end of the research here is the final product that I feel is better and truer to its original sound,
