    and body with the essential Being).

    Bliss Absolute, in whom worldliness does not exist, who is ever peaceful, without
    support and Self-effulgent.

    May That nourish us both.
    May we be given strength.
    May spiritual knowledge shine before us.

    Om Tryambakam Yajaamahe
    Sughandhim Pushti-vardanam,
