| Om. May there be peace in heaven. May there be peace in the sky. May there be peace on earth. May there be peace in the water. May there be peace in the plants. May there be peace in the trees. May there be peace in the Gods. May there be peace in Brahman. May there be peace in all. May that peace, real peace, be mine. |

| Alas! Desiring wealth in order to provide myself with food, I wander in vain from one person to another. O all-knowing one! I am not acquainted with the way of worshipping Thee. O Lord of all beings! O destroyer of the sins of devotees! Thou shouldst save me, at least for the reason that, on account of the maturing of my previously acquired merits (as it were), Thou residest in the heart of all beings (including myself). |
