Oṃ śaṃ no mitraḥ śaṃ varuṇaḥ | śaṃ no bhavatv aryamā |
śaṃ na indro bṛhaspatiḥ | śaṃ no viṣṇur urukramaḥ |
Namo brahmaṇe | namas te vāyo | tvam eva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāsi |
tvām eva pratyakṣaṃ brahma vadiṣyāmi | ṛtaṃ vadiṣyāmi | satyaṃ vadiṣyāmi |
tan mām avatu | tad vaktāram avatu | avatu mām | avatu vaktāram |
Oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ||
Om. May Mitra be blissful to us; may Varuna be blissful to us; may Aryaman be blissful to us; may Indra and Brihaspati be blissful to us; may the wide-striding Vishnu be blissful to us. Salutations to Brahman; salutations to you, O Vayu — you indeed are the perceptible Brahman. I shall declare you to be the manifest Brahman; I shall speak the cosmic order (Rta); I shall speak the truth (Satya). May That protect me; may That protect the teacher; may it protect me; may it protect the teacher. Om, peace, peace, peace.
