Medicine Buddha mantra, sanskrit romanization

"Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise." --Surangama Sutra
Phenomenon, vast as space, dharmata is your base, arising and falling like ocean tide cycles, why do i cling to your illusion of unceasing changlessness?

Bhai as in "buy"
sha is in "sharp"
jye as in "Jye
I.e. very roughly buy-sha-jye
As it is spelled. Tibetans cannot, in general, pronounce the Sanskrit Ś or Ṣ syllable when it is inside of a word. So they substitute a "kh" syllable i.e. akha for aṣṭa, eight.

I read bhaiṣajye (or bhaiṣajya) as "bhai-ṣa-jie" (or "bhai-ṣa-jia").
This is the version of Sanskrit transliteration for the Medicine Buddha Mantra:

Namo bhagavate bhaiṣajya-guru-vaiḍūrya-prabha-rājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyak-saṃbuddhāya. Tadyathā, oṃ, bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā.
Namas triya-dhvikānāṃ sarva tathāgatānām!
