words to prajna paramitra mantra?

JeffreyJeffrey Veteran
in Buddhism Basics
om gate gate

paragate parasamgate

bodhi svaha


What do the words mean? I think bodi means awake. Om means open? or generosity?

    I like the Dalai Lama's translation best. :)

    "go, go, go beyond, go thoroughly beyond, and establish yourself in enlightenment."
