'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Sacha Kiriya}}'''. A power with the Buddhists akin to a magic mantram with the Brahmans. It is a miraculous energy which can be exercised by any adept, whether priest or layman, and “most efficient when accompanied by ''bhâwanâ'' ” (meditation). It consists in a recitation of one’s “acts of merit done either in this or some former birth” — as the Rev. Mr. Hardy thinks and puts it, but in reality it depends on the intensity of one’s will, added to an absolute faith in one’s own powers, whether of yoga — willing — or of prayer, as in the case of Mussulmans and Christians. Sacha means “true”, and ''Kiriyang'', “action”. It is the ''power of merit'', or of a saintly life. | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Sacha Kiriya}}'''.
