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
