Svasti Mantram - Let us Perform Prapatti to Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara


And Shreemati Padmavati-Devi, of course! Back to "Shree RangaNatha Mahimai" in SADAGOPAN.ORG edition. 
For those, who don't know Sanskrit - स्वस्ति (svasti) means
"welfare, prosperity, luck" and from this word the famous word स्वस्तिक (svastika) is derived. 

So, The Svasti Mantra of "Shree Atharva-Veda" is:

मधुमतीरोषधीर्द्याव आपो मधुमन्त्रो भवत्वन्तरिक्षम् । 

क्षेत्रस्य पतिर्मधुमान्त्रो अस्त्वरिष्यन्तो अन्वेनं चरेम । ।

madhumatIroShadhIrdyAva Apo madhumantro bhavatvantarikSham | 

kShetrasya patirmadhumAntro astvariShyanto anvenaM charema | |

"Shree Atharva-Veda", 20.143.8

May the Oushadhis (plants and medicinal herbs) be sweet and efficacious to us! 

May the Heavens, the waters and the mid-regions be all sweet, healthful and invigorating for us! 

May the producer of food be sweet, friendly and helpful to us! 

Let us follow our Lord and engage in acts that please Him and stay away from acts that displease Him, perform Prapatthi and be free from the disease of SamsAram and chase away all of our troubles! 

With this crescendo of a prayer, Atharva Vedam comes to a close.
