Mantra
Devanagari:
ॐ खड्गिने विद्महे
पट्टिशिने धीमहि
तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्
Transliteration:
Om Khadgine Vidmahe
Pattishine Dhimahi
Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat

Om, may we know the wielder of the sword of discrimination,
And meditate deeply upon the holder of the battle-spear that slays ignorance;
May Lord Shiva inspire and purify our consciousness.
