Mantra 1

Sukta 94

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सांमनस्यम्। सं वो मनांसि सं व्रता समाकूतीर्नमामसि । अमी ये विव्रता स्थन तान् वः सं नमयामसि

IAST Transliteration

sā́mmanasyám | sáṃ vo mánāṃsi sáṃ vratā́ sámākūtīr namāmasi | amī́ yé vivratā́ sthána tā́n vaḥ sáṃ namayāmasi ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Concord of mind: your minds together, your vows together, your purposes in union—these we reverently salute. Those yonder who stand vowless, them among you we bend down into accord.

Translation

ਸਾਂਮਨਸ੍ਯ (ਮਨ ਦੀ ਏਕਤਾ): ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਮਨ ਇਕੱਠੇ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਰਤ ਇਕੱਠੇ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਸੰਕਲਪ ਇਕ ਰੂਪ—ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਂ ਭਾਵ ਨਾਲ ਨਮਸਕਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਜੋ ਉੱਥੇ ਵਰਤ-ਰਹਿਤ ਖੜੇ ਹਨ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਿਚ ਸਹਿਮਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਸੀਂ ਝੁਕਾ ਕੇ ਮਿਲਾ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
