asato ma sad gamaya
tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
mrtyor mamrtam gamaya

vidyam cavidyam ca yas
tad vedobhayam saha
avidyaya mrtyum tirtva
vidyayamrtam asnute

yasmin dyauh prthivi cantariksam
otam manah saha pranais ca sarvaih
tam evaikam janatha atmanam anya vacah
vimuncatha amrtasya esah setuh

indriyebhyah param mano
manasah sattvam uttamam
sattvad adhi mahan atma
mahato vyaktam uttamam

yada pancavatisthante
jnanani manasa saha
buddhis ca na vicestate
tam ahuh paramam gatim

bhidyate hrdayagranthis
chidyante sarvasamsayah
ksiyante casya karmani
tasmin drste paravare
