May my speech be fixed in the mind. May my mind be fixed in the speech.
O self-manifested Atman, do Thou manifest Thyself unto me.
O my mind & speech, may you be fit to reveal unto me the highest knowledge.
May I not forget what I have heard. Without forgetting what I have learnt, may I be able to study day & night. The right will I speak. The truth will I speak. May Brahman protect me, May Brahman protect the preceptor. May Brahman protect me. May Brahman pretect the perceptor.
