ॐ निशाचराय विद्महे
प्रेतचारिणे धीमहि
तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्
Om Nishacharaya Vidmahe
Pretacharine Dhimahi
Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat
Om, may we know Him who illumines the dark night of ignorance,
And meditate deeply upon the compassionate liberator of departed souls;
May Lord Shiva inspire and purify our consciousness.
