Hiṁsā na Kartavyā
हिंस न कर्तव्या
To Do No Harm
Peace be to earth and to airy spaces! Peace be to heaven, peace to the waters, peace to the plants and peace to the trees! May all the Gods grant to me peace! By this invocation of peace may peace be diffused! By this invocation of peace may peace bring peace! With this peace the dreadful I now appease, with this peace the cruel I now appease. With this peace all evil I now appease, so that peace may prevail, happiness prevail! May everything for us be peaceful!§
Atharva Veda 19.9.14. VE, P. 306§
