Hindi translation of the Mantra (हिंदी में मन्त्र).

मेरी वाणी मेरे मन में स्थापित हो जाए,
मेरी वाणी में मेरा मन स्थिर हो जाए,
मुझमें स्वयं प्रकट आत्मा का ज्ञान बढ़े,
वेदों के ज्ञान का अनुभव करने के लिए
मेरे मन और वाणी को आधार बनने दो,
जो है मेरे द्वारा (वेदों से) सुना हुआ केवल एक रूप नहीं है ...
लेकिन दिन-रात अध्ययन करने से जो प्राप्त होता है उसे बनाए रखा जाता है,

इस तरह मैं दिव्य सत्य के बारे में बोलता हूं,
इस तरह परम सत्य के बारे में बोलता हूं,
यह सत्य मेरी रक्षा करे,
यह सत्य गुरु की रक्षा करे (शिक्षक),
यह सत्य मेरी रक्षा करे, जो गुरु (शिक्षक) की रक्षा करे,
यह सत्य गुरु (शिक्षक) की रक्षा करे,
ओम शांतिः! शांतिः! शांतिः!

Note: This Shanti (Peace) invocation appears in the Aitareya Upanishad. This ends with the prayer for protection from the Tapatrayas (Threefold miseries): Adhyatmika (Body, Mind), Adhi Bhautika (Animals, other living Beings) and Adhi Daivika ( Natural calamities like Earthquake, Flood,Tsunami, etc.) - hence the repetition of the word: śhāntiḥ (शांतिः)- 3 times.
