"Durjanah sajjano bhooyat sajjanah saantimaapnuyaat |
Saanto muchyeta bandhebhyo muktachaanyaan vimochyayet ||
"May the wicked become good; may the good obtain peace;
May the peaceful be released from bonds; may the freed set the others free!

"Svasti prajaabhyah paripaalayantam nyaayena maargena maheem maheesaah |
Gobraahmanebhyah subhamastunityam lokaah samastaah sukhino bhavantu ||
"May the people ruled be blessed; may the rulers of the Earth govern justly;
May the cattle and the wise ever prosper; may the whole world rejoice!

"Kaale varshatu parjanyah prthvee sasyasaalineem |
Desoyam kshobharahito braahmanaah santu nirbhayaah ||
"May the clouds rain during the seasons; may the barns of the Earth be full;
May the land be free from disturbances; may the wise live without fear!

"Sarve bhavantu sukhinah sarve santu niraamayah |
Sarve bhadraani pasyantu maa kaschidduhkhabhaagbhavet ||
"May all be happy; may all be healthy;
May all see only auspicious sights; may none ever be sorrowful!

"Sarvastaratu durgaani sarvo bhadraani pasyatu |
Sarvah kaamanavaapnotu sarvah sarvatra nandatu ||
"May all surmount difficulties; may all have only beautiful visions;
May all have their desires fulfilled; may everyone everywhere be happy!

"Svasti maatra uta pitre no astu svasti gobhyo jagate purushebhyah |
Viswam subhootam suvidatram no astu jyogeva drsyema sooryam ||
"May our parents be blessed; may the Earth with its people and
animals be blessed;
May everything in the universe flourish; may we see the sun for a long time!
