May there be peace in the heavens (dyauḥ), peace in the skies (antarikṣaṃ) and peace on earth (pṛthivī). May the waters (āpaḥ) be peaceful.
May the grasses and herbs (oṣadhayaḥ) bring peace to all creatures and may the plants (vanaspatayaḥ) themselves also be at peace.
May the beneficent beings (viśvedevāḥ) bring us peace and may the way of all creation (brahma) bring peace through the world. May all things be peaceful, and may that peace itself bring further peace. May we also bring peace to all. May real peace blossom through us.
Om Peace Peace Peace.
