Mantra
Devanagari:
पुष्टिवर्धनं देवं रुद्रं गीर्भिर्हवामहे वयम्
स नः पर्षदति द्विषो नावेव सिन्धुं दुरिता
वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणां सुवीराः
Transliteration:
Pushtivardhanam Devam Rudram Girbhirhavamahe Vayam
Sa Nah Parshadati Dvisho Naveva Sindhum Durita
Vayam Syama Patayo Rayinam Suvirah
Translation:
With sacred songs we invoke the radiant God Rudra, increaser of spiritual and physical nourishment;
May He ferry us across all hostilities and sins like a boat across a river,
And may we, blessed with noble heroes, be lords of spiritual treasures.
