Meaning -
Anjana, beauteous sanctifier, you are the promoter of life with health and longevity. You are called the sure and vibrant universal cure (of ailment and ignorance). Therefore, O Anjana, harbinger of peace and fulfilment, alleviate my worry and suffering, bring us peace and comfort. O Apah, pranic energies and potential for action, give us freedom from fear. (‘Anjana’ is derived from the root ‘Anj’ which means ‘to anoint, to beautify, to beatify, to express and reveal. ’ In this context, it can be interpreted as collyrium which beautifies the eyes, and also as the Supreme Spirit of the universe which beatifies life’s beauty and reveals the same in human form and consciousness.)
