Mantra
Devanagari:
पटरम् त्वा सूर्य ऋषयः पूर्व्यासो अग्नीन्धते
स्तोमैरुक्थैश्च शस्यमानं हवामहे वयम्
अपास्मदंहो दुरितं बाधस्व सुक्रतो
अरिष्टाः स्याम तनुवा सुवीराः सर्वदा
Transliteration:
Pataram Tva Surya Rishayah Purvyaso Agnindhate
Stomairukthaishcha Shasyamanam Havamahe Vayam
Apasmadamho Duritam Badhasva Sukrato
Arishtah Syama Tanuva Suvirah Sarvada
Translation:
The ancient Seers kindled and adored You, O Surya, swiftly traversing the vault of heaven;
Praised with hymns and recitations, we invoke You in our assembly;
O wise Lord, drive away all distress and difficulty from us,
And may we remain ever unharmed in body and blessed with heroic progeny.
