ॐ बाणहस्ताय विद्महे
कपालवते धीमहि
तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्

Om Banahastaya Vidmahe
Kapalavate Dhimahi
Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat

Om, may we know Him who holds the arrow of unerring wisdom,
And meditate deeply upon the transcendent ascetic holding the begging bowl;
May Lord Shiva inspire and purify our consciousness.
