शं नो मित्रः शं वरुणः । शं नो भवत्वर्यमा । शं न इन्द्रो बृहस्पतिः । शं नो विष्णुरुरुक्रमः । नमो ब्रह्मणे । नमस्ते वायो । त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षं ब्रह्मासि । त्वामेव प्रत्यक्षं ब्रह्मावादिषम् । ऋतमवादिषम् । सत्यमवादिषम् । तन्मामावीत् । तद्वक्तारमावीत् । आवीन्माम् । आवीत्वक्तारम् । ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
śaṃ no mitraḥ śaṃ varuṇaḥ | śaṃ no bhavatvaryamā | śaṃ na indro bṛhaspatiḥ | śaṃ no viṣṇururukramaḥ | namo brahmaṇe | namaste vāyo | tvameva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāsi | tvāmeva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāvādiṣam | ṛtamavādiṣam | satyamavādiṣam | tanmāmāvīt | tadvaktāramāvīt | āvīnmām | āvītvaktāram | oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ||
May Mitra be kind to us, may Varuṇa be kind. May Aryaman be kind to us. May Indra and Bṛhaspati be kind to us; may wide-striding Viṣṇu be kind to us. Homage to Brahman. Homage to you, Vāyu. You alone are Brahman made visible; you alone I have called the visible Brahman. I have spoken what is right; I have spoken what is true. That has protected me; that has protected the speaker. It has protected me; it has protected the speaker. Om, peace, peace, peace.
मित्र हमारे लिए मंगलकारी हों, वरुण मंगलकारी हों। अर्यमा हमारे लिए मंगलकारी हों। इन्द्र और बृहस्पति हमारे लिए मंगलकारी हों, विशाल पग वाले विष्णु हमारे लिए मंगलकारी हों। ब्रह्म को नमस्कार। हे वायु, तुम्हें नमस्कार। तुम ही प्रत्यक्ष ब्रह्म हो; मैंने तुम्हें ही प्रत्यक्ष ब्रह्म कहा। मैंने ऋत कहा, मैंने सत्य कहा। उसने मेरी रक्षा की, उसने वक्ता की रक्षा की। मेरी रक्षा की, वक्ता की रक्षा की। ॐ शान्ति, शान्ति, शान्ति।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
At the start, the student promised to speak truly; at the end, he can say he did, and that truth protected both him and his teacher. Keeping a promise to oneself is its own protection.
आरम्भ में विद्यार्थी ने सच बोलने का वचन दिया था; अन्त में वह कह सकता है कि उसने ऐसा किया, और उस सत्य ने उसकी और गुरु दोनों की रक्षा की। अपने आप से किया वचन निभाना स्वयं एक रक्षा है।
Taittirīya 1.12.1 closes the Śikṣā vallī with the opening peace invocation, now in the past tense: the vow to speak truth has been kept, and the protection asked for has been given.
