Translation -
May the sky be peaceful; may the mid-space be peaceful; may the earth be peaceful; may the waters be peaceful; may the annual plants be peaceful; may the forests be peaceful;may all the bounties of Nature be peaceful; may the knowledge be peaceful; may all the things be peaceful; may there be peace and peace only; may such a peace come to me. (1)
Notes -
A comprehensive prayer for peace and alleviation. A similar verse is found in the Atharva Veda XIX. 9. 14, which ends with the addition: 'By these alleviations, these universal allevia tions, I allay all that is terrific here, all that is cruel, all that is wicked. This hath been calmed, this is now auspicious. Let all be favourable to us. ' (Griffith).
