[Advaita-l] svasti vs. svastiH

[V Subrahmanian]

There appears to be two forms of 'svasti' as indicated by Praveen ji:

This is the Shanti mantra for Prashnopanishat.  It starts with 'भद्रं
कर्णेभिः....'

ॐ स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो वृद्धश्रवाः। स्वस्ति नः पूषा विश्ववेदाः।

स्वस्ति नस्तार्क्ष्यो अरिष्टनेमिः। स्वस्ति नो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु ||

*Here there is no visarga after svasti.*

*In the following, which is the shanti mantra chanted before and after
Purusha Suktam, there is visarga:*

ॐ। तच्छं योरावृणीमहे। गातुं यज्ञाय। गातुं यज्ञपतये। दैवी *स्वस्तिरस्तु नः।
स्वस्तिर्मानुषेभ्यः।* ऊर्ध्वं जिगातु भेषजम्। शं नो अस्तु द्विपदे। शं
चतुष्पदे। ॐ शान्तिश्शान्तिश्शान्तिः॥ —तैत्तिरीयारण्यके १.९.७

Om Tat Sat
