Devanagari:
पुनन्तु मा देवजनाः वरुण धृतव्रतः पवित्रेण सदा

तत्सर्वं प्रणुदयास्मभ्यं शर्म यच्छतु
Transliteration:
Punantu Ma Devajanah Varuna Dhritavratah पवित्रेण Sada
Yanme Manasa Vacha Karmana Va Dushkritam Kritam
Tatsarvam Pranudayasmabhyam Sharma Yachchhatu
Translation:
May the celestial hosts and Varuna, whose cosmic laws are firm and unbreakable, 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.
