3. Peace Invocation from the Atharva Veda
Om bhadram karnebhih shrinuyama devah bhadram pashyema-akshabhiryajatrah
sthirair angais tushtuvamsas-tanubhir vyashema devahitam yadayuhuh
svasti ne indro vrddhashravah svasti nah pusha vishvadevah
svasti nas tarkshyo arishta nemih svasti no brihaspatir dadhatu
~ Om shantih shantih shantih
O Gods, may we hear with our ears what is auspicious.
May we see with our eyes what is auspicious. While praising the Gods with perfect health may we enjoy a life that is beneficial to ourselves and to others. Om peace, peace, peace.
