सं वो मनांसि सं व्रता सम् आकूतीर् नमामसि । अमी ये विव्रता स्थन तान् वः सं नमयामसि

saṃ vo manāṃsi saṃ vratā sam ākūtīr namāmasi | amī ye vivratā sthana tān vaḥ saṃ namayāmasi

Your minds together, your vows together, your intentions together we bend; those of you yonder who are of divergent vows, those of you we bend together.
