ମନ୍ତ୍ର ପୁଷ୍ପମ୍

May we hear what is auspicious with our ears, O gods; may we see what is auspicious with our eyes, O worshipful ones. With limbs and bodies made firm, may we praise you and enjoy the span of life allotted by the gods.

May Indra of ancient renown grant us well-being; may Pūṣan, knower of all, grant us well-being; may Tārkṣya of unbroken felly grant us well-being; may Bṛhaspati grant us well-being. Om, peace, peace, peace.

Salutations to the King of kings, who is powerful and mighty. We offer our salutations to Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera). May He (Vaiśravaṇa) fulfill my desires for desirable objects for me. May Vaiśravaṇa, the lord of desires, grant (them). To Kubera, to Vaiśravaṇa. Salutations to the great king.

That is Brahman. That is Vāyu (air or life force). That is Ātman (the Self). That is Truth. That is everything. Salutations to that which is complete (whole or perfect).

He moves within all beings, in the secret cave of the heart, in every form of the universe. You are the sacrifice, you are the vaṣaṭ-call, you are Indra, you are Rudra, you are Viṣṇu, you are Brahmā, you are Prajāpati. You are That; you are the waters, the light, the essence, the deathless, Brahman — bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ, suvaḥ, Om. Ruler of all knowledge, Lord of all beings, sovereign over sacred utterance and over Brahman itself — may Brahmā, the auspicious, the ever-auspicious, be mine. The wise ever behold that supreme abode of Viṣṇu, set like an eye across the sky. The illumined ones, wakeful and full of praise, kindle it into flame — that supreme abode of Viṣṇu. Order, truth, the supreme Brahman, the Puruṣa dark and tawny, whose seed is drawn upward, of strange eye: to him of universal form, salutation, salutation.

We meditate upon Lord Nārāyaṇa and contemplate upon Vāsudeva. May that Viṣṇu inspire and guide us.

Om Peace, Peace, Peace.
