THE MEAL PRAYER

अन्नपूर्णे सदापूर्णे शङ्करप्राणवल्लभे ।

ज्ञानवैराग्यसिद्ध्यर्थं भिक्षां देहि च पार्वति ॥

Annapūrṇe sadāpūrṇe śaṅkaraprāṇavallabhe |
jñānavairāgyasidhyarthaṃ bhikṣāṃ dehi ca pārvati ||

"हे माता अन्नपूर्णा! आप सदा पूर्ण हैं और भगवान शिव की प्राणप्रिय हैं। हे माता पार्वती! मुझे ज्ञान (आध्यात्मिक बोध) और वैराग्य (सांसारिक मोह से मुक्ति) की सिद्धि के लिए भिक्षा प्रदान करें।"

"O Annapoorna, who is always full (of nourishment) and is the beloved life-breath of Lord Shankara; O Parvati, grant me the alms of wisdom and renunciation so that I may attain perfection."

ॐ ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्म हविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम्।

ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना॥ (Bhagavad Gita 4.24)

Brahmārpaṇam brahma haviḥ brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam. Brahmāiva tena gantavyaṁ brahmakarmasamādhinā.

'Brahman is the offering, Brahman is the oblation poured out by Brahman into the fire of Brahman, Brahman is to be attained by him who always sees Brahman in action.'
