Mantra
Devanagari:
यज्ञपुरुषम् देवं विष्णुं गीर्भिर्हवामहे वयम्
स नः पर्षदति द्विषो नावेव सिन्धुं दुरिता
वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणां सुवीराः
Transliteration:
Yajnapurusham Devam Vishnum Girbhirhavamahe Vayam
Sa Nah Parshadati Dvisho Naveva Sindhum Durita
Vayam Syama Patayo Rayinam Suvirah
Translation:
With sacred songs we invoke the radiant God Vishnu, embodiment of the cosmic sacrifice;
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.
