Shanti Mantra

SHANTI MANTRA SRI RUDRAM:

Hari Om Ida Deva humanuryagnam

Brahaspati ruktha Madani shansisad

Vishva Devah sookta Vachah Prithvi

Matarmahim Surmadhu Manishye,

Madhu Janishye,Madhumati Devebhyo

Vacha mudhyasagam Ma deva avantu

Shobhaye Pitaro nama dantu

Om shanti shanti shantihi

The divinity is invoked through this Kamadhenu. Manu is for sacrifices,Brahaspati for recitation.

These will praise the divinity and mother earth to give sustenance and bring forth:

Pleasant actions and enjoyable fruits, pleasant acts, peasant talks and words. to them who hear me.

Let them enlighten my speech, feel glad and agreeable.

All my ancestors be pleased with me and my prayers for all the time to come.

Let there be peace, peace and peace.

Referance: Rudrartha Deepika by Shripad Shastri Kinjwadekar of Pune and his Marathi translation of Sri Rudram
