Luang Phor Phet in prayer

An English translation of a common Pali chant to be said before a Luang Phor Phet image is as follows:See, e.g., [http://vipassanasangha.free.fr/ChantingBook.pdf Chanting Book of Wat Pradhātu Srī Chomtong Voravihāra] ]
:By body, by speech, and by mind, I will always revere the image named Luang Phor Phet,the Buddha statue, working wonders of psychic power. May I be blessed forevermore.
The text of the chant in Pali is as follows:
:Kāyena vācāya va cetassa vā vajiraü nāma pañimaü iddhi-pāñihāriyakaraü buddha-rūpaü ahaü vandāmi sabbaso; sadā sotthī bhavantu me.
