Mantra
Devanagari:
कपर्दिन् भव नः पुरएता रुद्र सुविते सदा
अपाघशंसं नुदतामरातिं विश्वतो नः
शं नो अस्तु द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे
Transliteration:
Kapardin Bhava Nah Puraeta Rudra सुविte Sada
Apaghashamsam Nudatamaratim Vishvato Nah
Sham No Astu Dvipade Sham Chatushpade
Translation:
O Rudra, crowned with ascetic matted locks, be ever our leader and guide unto auspicious prosperity;
Drive away all malice and adversity from us on every side,
And grant peace and well-being to our two-footed and four-footed beings.
