The Kata Pra Putta Jao Ha Pra Ongk means ‘Mantra to the Five Buddhas’
Kata Pra Putta Jao Ha Praongk
NA MO PUT TAA YA
throughout the ages on earth, there have only been a few occasions when a Samputtajao Buddha has appeared and enlightend himself on this planet Through all the Kalpas of Human History there will be only five Buddhas appearing during the time which the Buddha Sasana exists on Earth.
Faithful believers in the Buddha Sasana created the five syllable root mantra in order to pay reverence to these five Buddhas, namely the Kata Prajao Ha Praongk; ‘Na Mo Put Taa Ya’
The five Buddhas of the five eras are each allocated one syllable of the Kata;
Na = Pra Gugusanto (Chicken symbol)
Mo = Pra Gonaakaamano (Naga serpent symbol)
Put = Pra Gassabo (Kassapa Buddha – Turtle symbol)
Taa = Kodtamo (the present Buddha Sakyamuni – Cow symbol)
Ya = Pra Medtrayya (Maitreya Future Buddha – Lion symbol)
These Buddhas are also mentioned in the Adtaanaadtiyaparittra Kata given by Taw Waes Suwan to the Sangha in order to protect them from evil maras and yaksa when in the forest meditating.
