Peace be to earth and to airy space! Peace be to heaven, peace to the waters, peace to the plants and peace to the trees! May all the gods grant me peace!
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Scholars, learning from their mistakes of the past, plan their present and future accordingly and enjoy success, peace and prosperity.

Desireless, serene, immortal, self-existent, contented with the essence, lacking nothing, is He. One has no fear of death who has known Him, the Atman - serene, ageless, youthful.
