Svasti
Vachanam
***********************
" In Krishna Yajus, there is topic called SWASTI
VAACHANAM comprising of 4 Anuvaakams.
These Anuvaakams appear in Thaithireeya Samhitha at following places:
1. 4th Kandam 6th Prasnam 4th Anuvaakam - " Aasusisano Vrushabhona
Yugmo...."
2. 4th Kandam 6th Prasnam 6th Anuvaakam - :"Jeemoothasyeva
Bhavathi......"
3. 4th Kandam 7th Prasnam 14th Anuvaakam - "Mamaagne
Varcho................."
4. 4th Kandam 7th Prasnam 15th Anuvaakam - "Agnermanve
Prathamasya....."
These Anuvaakams are recited during Utsava Parayanam, accompanying the
Acharyas and such other occasions.
Below are some of the small Panchathis which might be used at the time of
inauguration of a programme:
For an auspicious function signifying the day as Sudhinam, one may use
the very popular Anuvaakam from Chamakam - "Sanchame
Mayaschame...........Sudhinamcha me" 4th Kandam 7th Prasnam 3rd Anuvaakam
If the function relates to a collective effort by people, etc., one
may use "Saangrahanyeshtya Yajathe..........Yadhasvamedha Samrudhyai"
Thaithireeya Brahmanam 3rd Ashtakam 8th Prasnam 1st Anuvaakam
If the function is something to do with Knowledge etc. one may use
"Samgnanam Vignanam Pragnanam........." Thaithireeya Brahmanam 3rd Ashtakam 8th
Prasnam 1st Anuvakam
There are many other Manthrams like
"Hiranya Paathram Madho Poornam Dhadhathi...." - Brahmanam 1st Kandam 3rd
Prasnam 3rd Anuvakam
"Brahma Vaadhino Vadhanthi....."Brahmanam 3rd Ashtakam 9th Prasnam 3rd
Anuvakam
I have also heard that Vidvat Sadas being inaugurated with Pancha Santhi
Manthrams."
Thank You Sriman I.V.K.Chary
