Mantra 1

ॐ केनेषितं पतति प्रेषितं मनः केन प्राणः प्रथमः प्रैति युक्तः ।केनेषितां वाचमिमां वदन्ति चक्षुः श्रोत्रं क उ देवो युनक्ति ॥ १ ॥

In plain words

Directed by whom does the mind go toward its objects? Harnessed by whom does the foremost life-breath move? Impelled by whom do people utter this speech? What radiant power joins sight and hearing to their functions?
