Eeshvar stuti, prarthana aur upaasanaa
The glorification of, Prayers to, and Communion with God1
Vishvaani deva savitar duritaani paraa suvaa.
Yad bhadran tanna aasuva.2
Hiraṇya-garbhah samavar-tataagre
bhootasya jaatah patir-eka aaseet.
Sa daadhaar prithiveem dyaam utemaam
kasmai devaaya haviṣhaa vidhema. 3
Ya aatmadaa baladaa yasya vishva
upaasate prashiṣham yasya devaah.
Yasya chhaayaa-‘mritam yasya mrityuḥ
kasmai devaaya haviṣhaa vidhema.4
Yah praaṇato nimiṣhato mahit-vaika
id-raajaa jagato babhoova.
Ya eeshe asya dvipadash-chatuṣhpadah
kasmai devaaya haviṣhaa vidhema.5
Yena dyaur-ugraa prithivee cha driḍhaa
yena svah stabhitam yena naakah.
Yo antarikshe rajaso vimaanah
kasmai devaaya havishaa vidhema.6
Prajaapate na tvade-taan-yanyo
vishvaa jaataani paritaa babhoova.
Yat-kaamaaste juhumas-tanno astu
vayam syaam patayo rayee-ṇaam.7
Sa no bandhur janitaa sa vidhaataa
dhaamaani veda bhuva-naani vishvaa.
Yatra devaa amritam-aana-shaanaas
tri-teeye dhaaman-adhair-ayanta.8
Agne naya supathaa raaye asmaan
vishvaani deva vayunaani vidvaan.
Yuyo-dhyasmaj-juhuraaṇam-eno
bhoo-yiṣh-ṭhaan te nama uktim vidhema.9

He sakal jagat ke utpatti kartaa samagra-aishvar-yukta suddh-svaroop sab sukho ke daataa parmeshvar. Aap kripa karke hamaare sampoorṇ durguṇ, durvyasan aur dukho ko door kijiye. Jo kalyaaṇ-kaarak guṇ, karm, svabhav aur padaarth hai, ve sab ham ko praapt karaa-i-ye.
O Lord, Progenitor, Creator of the Universe, Source of all prosperity, Self-illumined, Giver of happiness, we pray Thee O Father, to wipe off all our vices, evil propensities and distress and confer upon us all the virtues. Create the impulse of good deeds and righteous nature and provide with other resources that may bring bliss unto us all.
