Mitra – The deity identified with the prana and the day the deity controlling the sun. The deities to whom the prayers offered are: The word ‘sam’ in Sanskrit means propitious, be kind, be helpful. So we need the blessings, support and good wishes of all the deities. This is a prayer to various deities as we begin to embark upon a grueling journey of the study of Vedanta which at the same time is the most covetable undertaking. May It protect me! May It protect the teacher! May It protect me! May It protect the teacher! Thee indeed I shall proclaim as the true (satyam). Thee indeed, O Vayu, I shall proclaim as the right (ritam). Thee indeed I shall proclaim as the visible Brahman. Salutation to Brahman! Salutation to Thee, O Vayu! Thou indeed art the visibleīrahman. May Vishnu, of wide strides, be propitious unto us!
May Mitra be propitious unto us! May Varuna be propitious unto us! May Aryaman be propitious unto us! May Indra and Brihaspati be propitious unto us!
