Pañca Bhūta Nyāsa — Five Elements Invocation
Om prithvee tvayaa-dhritaa lokaa devi tvam Vishnunaa dhritaa
Tvam cha dhaaraya maam devi pavitram kuru caaasanam
Om aapo hi shthaa mayo-bhuvah | Taa na uurje dadaathana
Mahe ranaaya chakshase | Yo vah shivata-mo rasah
Tasya bhaajayate hanah | Ushateer iva maatarah
Om Agni-jyotih | jyotir Agnih | svaahaaa
Om vaayus te praano rakshatu | aakashah sarvato rakshatu
ॐ पृथ्वी त्वयाधृता लोका देवि त्वं विष्णुना धृता।
त्वं च धारय मां देवि पवित्रं कुरु चासनम्॥
ॐ आपो हि ष्ठा मयोभुवः। ता न ऊर्जे दधातन।
महेरणाय चक्षसे। यो वः शिवतमो रसः।
तस्य भाजयते हनः। उशतीरिव मातरः॥
ॐ अग्निर्ज्योतिः। ज्योतिरग्निः। स्वाहा।
ॐ वायुस्ते प्राणो रक्षतु। आकाशः सर्वतोरक्षतु।
