Mantra
Devanagari:
पुनन्तु मा देवजनाः सूर्य दूरेदृशः पवित्रेण सदा
यन्मे मनसा वाचा कर्मणा वा दुष्कृतं कृतम्
तत्सर्वं प्रणुदयास्मभ्यं शर्म यच्छतु
Transliteration:
Punantu Ma Devajanah Surya Duredrishah पवित्रेण Sada
Yanme Manasa Vacha Karmana Va Dushkritam Kritam
Tatsarvam Pranudayasmabhyam Sharma Yachchhatu
Translation:
May the celestial hosts and Surya, far-seeing witness across the cosmos, purify me ever with the sacred filter;
Whatever fault has been committed by me in thought, word, or deed,
May He wash away all that and vouchsafe shelter and peace unto us.
