ॐ चतुर्मुखाय विद्महे
हंसवाहनाय धीमहि
तन्नो ब्रह्मा प्रचोदयात्॥
oṁ caturmukhāya vidmahe
haṁsavāhanāya dhīmahi
tanno brahmā pracodayāt
We meditate on the four-faced Brahmā, who rides a swan (haṁsa).
May that Brahmā inspire and guide our intellect.
सवर्णं सुकृतिं ब्रह्माणं चतुर्मुखं चतुर्बुजं।
वेदवेदांगसंपन्नं वेदगर्भं नमाम्यहम्॥
savarnaṁ sukṛtiṁ brahmāṇaṁ caturmukhaṁ caturbhujaṁ |
veda-vedāṅga-sampannaṁ vedagarbhaṁ namāmyaham ||
bow to Lord Brahmā, the pure, virtuous one with four faces and four arms, who is filled with the knowledge of the Vedas and Vedāṅgas, and who carries the essence of the Vedas within him.
ॐ ब्रह्मणे नमः।
oṁ brahmaṇe namaḥ
Om, salutations to Brahmā, the Creator.
ॐ नमो रजो जुशे सृष्टौ
स्थितौ सत्त्वमयाय च।
तमोमयाय संहर्त्रे
विश्वरूपाय वेधसे।
ॐ ब्रह्मणे नमः॥
oṁ namo rajo juṣe sṛṣṭau
sthithau sattva-mayāya ca |
tamo-mayāya saṁhartre
viśva-rūpāya vedhase |
oṁ brahmaṇe namaḥ ||
Om — I bow in reverence to the one who delights in rajas for creation,
Who is composed of sattva for sustaining the universe,
Who takes on tamas for its dissolution,
Who assumes the universal form (Viśva-rūpa) and is the Creator (Vedhas).
Salutations to Brahmā!
This mantra reflects the non-dual, unified view of the cosmic cycle — creation, maintenance, and destruction — not as acts of separate deities, but as expressions of one universal intelligence.
Though usually assigned to Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva respectively, here Brahmā is honored as embodying all three, emphasizing the unity of divine functions. It is also a subtle pointer toward Brahman — the ultimate reality that manifests through the guṇas to sustain creation.
