"May the Ahavanīyādyagnis, perform their great padanyasa in the four directions which are our paths of travel. Accept with love the oblations given by us, and grant us the things that we need. May this Yajña which we have undertaken and oblations which are given by us, be directed to Brahma, who is our supreme purpose (to attain)."
From : Atharva Vēda and the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa
Information :
The Brahma Sūktam is found both in the Atharva Vēda and the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa. This text deals with the glory of the Supreme Being. The Brahma Sūktam is used during the famous ritual Udakaśānti. The Udakaśānti is very prevalent and well known to many. It is performed before Upanayana where Varuṇa is invoked in the waters and later the same water is poured on the people who are getting their Upanaya done, this is the same for all the Samskāras. Some even do daily Pārāyaṇa of this Mantra, but normally it is used mainly in the rituals.
