Om Bhur Bhuvassuvaha 

Tatsa viturvarenyam

Bhargo devasya dhimahi

Dhiyo yonaha prachidayat

Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,

Remover of pain and sorrow,

The Bestower of happiness,

Oh! Creator of the Universe,

May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,

May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
