Om, may Mitra be propitious to us. May Varuna bless us. May the blessings of Aryama be with us. May the Grace of Indra and Brihaspati be upon us. May Vishnu, the All-pervading ("wide-striding") be propitious to us. Salutations to Brahman. Salutations to Thee, O Vayu! Thou art the visible Brahman. Thee alone shall I consider as the visible Brahman. I shall declare: – Thou art the "right." Thou art the "Good." May That protect me; May That protect the speaker. Please protect me. Please protect the speaker. Om Peace Peace Peace.
