यथा मे हृदयं नित्यं नापसर्पति राघवात् ।
तथा लोकस्य साक्षी मां सर्वतः पातु पावकः ॥
"As surely as my heart has never

minute), even so let Fire, the witness of
all the world, protect me on all sides.
यथा मां शुद्धचारित्रां दुष्टां जानाति राघवः ।
तथा लोकस्य साक्षी मां सर्वतः पातु पावकः ॥
As surely as I am pure in conduct
though Raghava thinks ill of me, even so
let Fire, the witness of all the world,
protect me on all sides.
कर्मणा मनसा वाचा यथा नातिचराम्यहम् ।
राघवं सर्वधर्मज्ञं तथा मां पातु पावकः ॥
As surely as I have never transgressed
against Raghava, the knower of all
dharma, by thought, word or deed, even
so let Fire protect me."
