The literal meaning in English has been expressed as “praise to the jewel in the lotus”, or as a declarative aspiration, possibly meaning “I in the jewel-lotus”. Padma is the Sanskrit for the Indian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and mani for “jewel”, as in a type of spiritual “jewel” widely referred to in Buddhism.
Reminds me of a strip in the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers underground comics when one of them was instructed by the other to chant “Oh-Wa Ta-Goo Siam” to achieve peace of mind.
Took him a minute to realize they tricked him into saying “Oh what a goose I am”.
