Doorangamam jyothishaam jyothir ekam
Thanme mana Shiva
Sankalpamasthu
The god like
mind flies long distances as soon as it wakes up,
Similarly even
while sleeping it does the same thing
The long
travelling light of Heavenly bodies is also one
And so let our
mind be involved in Determination of
Shiva (Peace)
2.Yena karmanya apaso

Thanme mana
Shiva Sanklpamasthu
The deeds are all
done with integrity
And the bold ones do
the acts(Fire sacrifices) by
sharing knowledge,
And before
this internally diverse acts are done by people
And so let our
mind be involved in Determination of
Shiva (Peace)
3.Yath prajnaana mutha chetho druthischa
Yajjjyothit antharamrutham prajaasu
Yasmaanna kruthe kinchana karma kriyathe
Thanme mana Shiva
Sankalpamasthu
That knowledge
from memory is learnt with patience and courage
That internal
light leads to deathless nectar to the people
And without doing
that no action can be
performed,
And so let our
mind be involved in Determination of
Shiva (Peace)

Parigraheetham amruthena sarvam
Yena yajnasthayathe saptha hothaa

Once the past , present
and future ,
Is understood, the world full of nectar (deathlessness)
And once that

Shiva (Peace)
*2eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils and mouth

Maintain forcibly
the speed and power of life
By establishing in the mind great power to control the restlessness
