Yatprajñāmuta ceto dhrtiśca yajjyotirantaramrtam prajāsu Yasmānna rte kiñcana karma kriyte tanme manaḥ śivasaṁkalpamastu. (YV, 34/3) i.e., May that which is deep knowledge, intellect, memory,
that which is the deathless Flame in living beings, without which nothing whatever is done,
may that my Mind resolve on what that is good. Yenedaṁ bhūtaṁ bhuvanaṁ bhavisyatparigrhītamamrtena sarvam Yena yajñastāyate saptahotā tanme manah sivasaņkalpamastu. (YV, 34/4) i.e. May that immortal Essence by which all
the past and present world is comprehended, by which the ritual spreads with the seven priests,
may that my Mind resolve on what is good. Yasminrcah sama yajūñsi yasminpratisthitā rathanābhāvivārāh Yasmiñsicittam sarvamotam prajānāṁ tanme manah sivasaṁkalpamastu. (YV, 34/5) .e., May that in which the Ric, the Saman, the Yajus are held firm,
like spokes in the nave of a chariot-wheel, in which all thoughts of living beings lie interwoven,
may that my Mind resolve on what is good. Susārathiraśvāniva yanmanusyānnenīyate bhīsubhirvājina 'iva Hrtpratisthaṁ yadajiram javistham tanme manah sivasaṁkalpamastu. (YV,34/6) i.e., May that which guides men like a good charioteer
who controls fleet-footed horses with the reins, that which abides in the heart, most swift and active,
may that my Mind resolve on what that is good. (iv) Firm faith in the divine power (=prabhu-viśwāsa) A ghā gamadyadi śravat sahasrinībhir útibhih vājebhir upa no havam. (RV, 1/30/8) i.e., When He listens to our invocations,
He assuredly comes to us with thousands of generous bounties and benedictions.
