  1. Verse 1

    śaṃ no mitraḥ śaṃ varuṇaḥ | śaṃ no bhavatvaryamā | śaṃ na indro bṛhaspatiḥ | śaṃ no viṣṇururukramaḥ | namo brahmaṇe | namaste vāyo | tvameva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāsi | tvāmeva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāvādiṣam | ṛtamavādiṣam | satyamavādiṣam | tanmāmāvīt | tadvaktāramāvīt | āvīnmām | āvīdvaktāram | oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ || 1||

    Meaning

    May Mitra be propitious to us, may Varuna be propitious; may Aryaman be propitious; may Indra and Brihaspati, and the wide-striding Vishnu, be propitious. Salutation to Brahman! Salutation to you, O Vayu! You indeed are the visible Brahman; you alone I have declared to be the visible Brahman. I have declared the right; I have declared the true. That has protected me; that has protected the teacher — it protected me, it protected the teacher. Om, peace, peace, peace. (The closing shanti, recited in the past tense.)
