Oṃ, may my speech be established in my mind, and my mind be established in my speech.
May the sacred knowledge reveal itself clearly to me.
May I retain what I have learned.
May I connect day and night through this study, contemplating its meaning unceasingly. I shall speak what is right (ṛtaṃ), I shall speak what is true (satyam).
May that truth protect me and the teacher. May it protect both of us. Let there be peace, peace, peac
