    #/y< ya p?rme/inI/ vag! de/vI ?snti - peace;Astuastu may it be;n>na to us;

    This speech, which asdevis the highest form of the power of Brahmji, and which is made acute bythe chanting of Vedic mantras, has created much anguish in the form of cursing or hurting with

    words. May this same speech which has created hurt and suffering bring peace by neutralizing its

    effects (and freeing us from guilt and hurt). (3)

    #/d< yt! p?rme/in/< mnae? va/< ?snti - peace;Astuastu may it be;n>na to us;

    ThisBrahmji, dwelling in the highest abode, first createdsatfromasatwith his mind, making thatwhich was not alive viable and active. Thereafter that mind, the fundamental cause for the whole

    world, dwells in the created sense objects. This mind has performed terrible karmas. Let this same

    mind bring peace to us. (4)

    #/main/ yain/ p'ce?iN/yai[/ mn?>;ain me /id ?[a/ stai by that;zaiNt>nti - peace;Astuastu may it be;n>na to us;

    Because of Brahman, all the five senses,

    along with the mind as the sixth,

    abide in my heart; promptedby the conscious awareness and ordainer, they move in their own respective sense objects. Let those

    same senses and mind that created all theduritasin the past now perform actions that will bringpeace to us from their effects (ppakarma). (5)
