Mantra
Devanagari:
ॐ सङ्क्षेप्त्रे विद्महे
क्षेमकृते धीमहि
तन्नो विष्णुः प्रचोदयात्
Transliteration:
Om Sanksheptre Vidmahe
Kshemakrite Dhimahi
Tanno Vishnuh Prachodayat
Translation:
Om, may we know Him who withdraws the expanded cosmos at pralaya,
And meditate deeply upon Him who preserves the spiritual gains of His devotees;
May Lord Vishnu illuminate our intellect.
