Verse 1
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः।
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥
Om Bhur Bhuvah Swah |
Tat Savitur Varenyam |
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi |
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat ||
We meditate on the adorable glory of the Divine Sun (Creator of the Universe); may He illuminate our intellect and guide our thoughts.
हम सविता देव के वरण करने योग्य दिव्य तेज का ध्यान करते हैं; वह हमारी बुद्धि को प्रकाशित करें और हमारे विचारों को सही दिशा दें।
