Mantra
Devanagari:
हरिकेशः असि सूर्य देवानां पुरोहितो महान्
विश्वा रूपाणि प्रतिमोदमानो वि राजसि
स नो यज्ञस्य सुविते दधातु विश्वदानीम्
बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः शतं हिमाः
Transliteration:
Harikeshah Asi Surya Devanam Purohito Mahan
Vishva Rupani Pratimodamano Vi Rajasi
Sa No Yajnasya Suvite Dadhatu Vishvadanim
Brihadvadema Vidathe Suvirah Shatam Himah
Translation:
O Surya, golden-rayed dispeller of darkness, You are the great and revered leader among the Gods;
Rejoicing in all cosmic forms, You shine forth in universal splendor;
May You establish our sacrifice in auspicious fortune at all times,
And may we speak loftily in the sacred assembly through a hundred winters.
