]ma àawRna [Kshama prarthana]

Introduction:
Traditionally Veda recitation starts with Ganapathi Prarthana and ends with a Kshama
Prarthana. While chanting the Veda if any word or the intonation is mis‐spelt, one incurs sin. This
prayer is chanted as redemption from all the sins and also for offering the fruits of chanting,
to the Lord.
