O Source of Truth, refine my speech,
Let vital breath expanding reach.
Awaken eyes to see the clear,
And tune my ears the truth to hear.
Let glorious strength endow my frame,
To act with purpose in Your name.
In every tissue, limb, and nerve,
Align my power so I may serve.
May this, the temple of my soul,
Be coordinated, strong, and whole.

We recognize the body as a sovereign temple. We acknowledge the alignment of all limbs (Aṅgaani), tissues, and organs with the embodied soul (Tanoo), ensuring they remain healthy and work in perfect harmony.

अरिष्टानि healthy मे my अंगानि limbs, organs तनूः body तन्वा embodied (embodied soul) मे my सह with सन्तु may all be; with purpose, be of purpose
