Mantra
Devanagari:
समिद्धो अद्य सूर्य पतङ्गः देवेभ्यो हव्यं वह
प्रजानन्विद्वानृतुशो यजस्व सुवीर्यम्
मा नो हिंसीज्जातवेदो गामश्वं पुरुषं जगत्
अबिभ्रदग्ने आगहि श्रिया मा परिपातय
Transliteration:
Samiddho Adya Surya Patangah Devebhyo Havyam Vaha
Prajananvidvanritusho Yajasva Suviryam
Ma No Himsijjatavedo Gamashvam Purusham Jagat
Abibhradagne Agahi Shriya Ma Paripataya
Translation:
Kindled today, O Surya, golden-winged bird of the sky, bear our sacred oblation to the Gods;
Knowing the cosmic seasons, offer worship for our heroic spiritual strength;
Never harm our kine, steeds, people, or the moving world,
But come with fearlessness and encompass us with auspicious prosperity.
