ॐ सह नाववतु।
सह नौ भुनक्तु।
सह वीर्यं करवावहै।
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Lord, may Thou protect the "Guru" and "Shishya" alike,
May Thou grant knowledge and wisdom to both adequately;
May we thus equally attain inner strength,
May the education we imbibe reach its fulfillment,
May we not harbour ill feelings towards each other,
Let peace be all pervasive.
