  1. Verse 1

    oṃ śaṃ no mitraḥ śaṃ varuṇaḥ | śaṃ no bhavatvaryamā | śaṃ na indro bṛhaspatiḥ | śaṃ no viṣṇururukramaḥ | namo brahmaṇe | namaste vāyo | tvameva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāsi | tvāmeva pratyakṣaṃ brahma vadiṣyāmi | ṛtaṃ vadiṣyāmi | satyaṃ vadiṣyāmi | tanmāmavatu | tadvaktāramavatu | avatu mām | avatu vaktāram | oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ || 1||

    Meaning

    May Mitra be propitious to us, may Varuna be propitious; may Aryaman be propitious to us; may Indra and Brihaspati, and the wide-striding Vishnu, be propitious to us. Salutation to Brahman! Salutation to you, O Vayu! You indeed are the visible Brahman; you alone I shall declare to be the visible Brahman. I shall declare the right (rita); I shall declare the true (satya). May That protect me; may That protect the teacher. Om, peace, peace, peace.
