Noon Prayer

 🍽 Before Meals (Śakti Dān)

यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः ।

भुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात् ॥

yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva-kilbiṣaiḥ ।

bhuñjate te tvaghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty-ātma-kāraṇāt ॥

Those who eat food offered to God are freed of sins; those who cook only for themselves eat only sin.

यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् ।

यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥

yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat ।

yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam ॥

Whatever you do, eat, offer, or give, whatever austerity you perform—do it as an offering to Me.

अहं वैश्वानरो भूत्वा प्राणिनां देहमाश्रितः ।

प्राणापानसमायुक्तः पचाम्यन्नं चतुर्विधम् ॥

ahaṁ vaiśvānaro bhūtvā prāṇināṁ deham āśritaḥ ।

prāṇāpāna-samāyuktaḥ pacāmy annaṁ catur-vidham ॥

I dwell in beings as digestive fire; joined with prāṇa and apāna, I digest the four types of food.
