May we sing your praise, live our allotted span of life in perfect health and strength. May Indra (who is) extolled in the scriptures, Pushan, the all-knowing, Tarkshya who saves from all harm, and Brhaspati who protects our spiritual lustre, vouchsafe prosperity in our study of the scriptures and the practice of the truths contained therein. Om peace, peace, peace.<ref>[https://vedantastudents.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/01-Muktikopanishad.pdf Muktikopanishad]</ref>
