May the God of the Day and the God of the Night, the God of Sight, the God of Strength, the God of Intellect and the All Pervading God be propitious to us. Prostrations to the Brahman. Prostrations to thee, O Vayu. Thou indeed art the visible Brahman. I shall proclaim Thee visible Brahman. I shall call Thee the Just and the True. May He protect me. May He protect the Teacher.

May He, the Lord of all, pre-eminent among the Vedas and Superior to the nectar contained in them, bless me with wisdom. May I be adorned with the knowledge of Brahman that leads to Immortality. May my body become strong and vigorous (for practicing meditation on Brahman). May my tongue always utter delightful words. May I head a lot with my ears. Thou art scabbard of Brahman hidden by wordly taints (and not revealed by puny intellects). May I never forget that which I have learnt. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

May my limbs, speech, prana etc, ear and power of all my senses grow vigorous. Everything is the Braham of the Upanishads. May I never deny the Braham. May the Brahman never desert me.

Let my speech be rooted in the mind. Let my mind be rooted in my speech. Let Brahman reveal Himself to me. Let my mind and speech enable me to grasp the Truth of the Vedas. Let not what I hear forsake me. Let both day and night be continuously spent by me in study. I think Truth. I think Truth. I speak Truth. May that Truth protect me. May that Truth protect the Teacher. Protect me, protect the Teacher. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

O Worshipful ones, may our ears hear what is auspicious. May we see what is auspicious. May we sing your praise, live our allotted span of life in perfect health and strength. May Indra, who is extolled in the scriptures, Pushan, the all-knowing, tarkshya, who saves from all harm; and Brihaspati, who protects our spiritual lustre, vouchsafe success in our study of the scriptures and the practice of the truths contained therein. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.
