kAncI kAmakOTi pITha - sri candraSEkhara saraswatI's prayer for peace/friendship and wishes for prosperity:

maitrIm bhajata, akhila hrit jaitrIm |
Atmavad Eva parAN api pashyata |
yuddham tyajata, spardhAm tyajata |
tyajata parEshu akrama-AkramaNam ||
jananI prithivI kAma-dukhArtE |
janako dEvah sakala dayALuh |
'dAmyata, datta, dayadhvam' janatA |
shrEyO bhUyAt sakala janAnAm ||
shrEyO bhUyAt sakala janAnAm ||
shrEyO bhUyAt sakala janAnAm ||

Let us celebrate (bhajata) friendships (maitrIm) that win (jaitrIm) everyone's (akhila) hearts (hrit) |
And look upon (pashyata) others (parAN api) as our own selves (Atmavad Eva) |
Let us give up (tyajata) acts of war (yuddham), competition (spardhAm), |
and countless/disordered (akrama) aggression (AkramaNam) ||

Our mother (jananI), Earth (prithivI) grants (duhArtE) all our wishes (kAma) |
And, God (dEvah), our father (janakO) is ever merciful (sakala dayALu) |
So, let us (janatA - the people) practice self-control (dAmyatA), mercy (dayadhvam), and charity (datta) |
AND, May each and everyone of us (sakala janAnAm) be blessed (bhUyAt) with auspicious prosperity (shrEyas) ||

May each and everyone of us (sakala janAnAm) be blessed (bhUyAt) with auspicious prosperity (shrEyas) in 2008, and all the years to come!

Thanks Arasi, although the translation is not all mine: All I did was to 'clean' it up a bit - so can't take credit for it!

Ravi, Sometimes, cleaning up a text can be more difficult than just translating! And you are a mannan (king) at it
