Om Sam No Mitrah Sam
AI-drafted translation — pending review
Om. May Mitra be auspicious to us, may Varuna be auspicious; may Aryama be auspicious to us; may Indra and Brhaspati be auspicious to us; may Visnu of the mighty strides be auspicious to us. Obeisance to Brahman, obeisance to you, O life-force — you indeed are the directly perceivable Brahman. I shall declare you as that directly perceivable Brahman; I shall speak what is right, I shall speak the truth. May that truth protect me, may it protect the speaker; may it protect me, may it protect the speaker. Om, peace, peace, peace.
