Daśaśantayaḥ - 10 Śanti mantras (mantras for peace) from the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka.

Daśaśāntayaḥ

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Besides its epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes, the Mahabharata contains much philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or purusharthas. 
The Mahabharata is the longest epic poem in the world and many a times described as "longest poem ever written".Its longest version consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana.

Śrī Bāla-Mukundāṣṭakam 

karāravindēna padāravindam 
mukhāravindē viniveśayantam ।
vaṭasya patrasya puṭē śayānaṁ 
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥1॥

With His lotus-like hand who holds His lotus-like feet,
And brings it near His lotus-like face,
On a banyan’s leaf, He who reclines,
That Child Mukunda* I think of with all my mind.
*The giver of freedom


samhṛtya lōkān vaṭapatramadhyē 
śayānamādyantavihīnarūpam ।
sarvēśvaram sarvahitāvatāram 
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥2॥

After the dissolution of the Worlds, Who in the middle of a banyan leaf reclines,
Whose form is without a beginning or end,
The Lord of all, the incarnation of all good,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


indīvaraśyāmalakōmalāṅgam
indrādidēvārcitapādapadmam ।
santānakalpadrumamāśritānām 
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥3॥

Like the blue lotus, whose body is cerulean and tender,
Whose lotus feet, Indra and the Gods worship,
The wish-fulfilling tree that blesses with progeny those who pray for it,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


lambālakam lambitahārayaṣṭim
śṛṅgāralīlāṅkitadantapaṅktim ।
bimbādharam cāruviśālanētram 
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥4॥

Who has locks of His hair falling over His face, wears a long hanging chain,
Who has rows of nectar like teeth that shine with love,
Has reddish lips like the Bimba fruit, and who has elegant wide eyes,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


śikyē nidhāyādya payōdadhīni 
bahirgatāyām vrajanāyikāyām ।
bhuktvā yathēṣṭam kapaṭēna suptam
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥5॥

When the lead lady of Vraj (Yashoda) would go out,
After keeping milk, and curd in a pot,
He eats to His heart's content and pretends to be asleep,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


kaḷindajāntasthitakāḷiyasya 
phaṇāgraraṅgē naṭanapriyantam ।
tatpucchahastam śaradinduvaktram
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥6॥

From the rock in Kalindhi (River Yamuna), 
The One who desires of dancing on the hood of the snake Kaliya, 
Holding the tip of the tail of Kaliya in His hand, the One whose face is like the autumn moon,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


ulūkhalē baddhamudāraśauryam 
uttuṅgayugmārjuna bhaṅgalīlam ।
utphullapadmāyata cārunētram
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥7॥

He who is bound to the mortar, generous and heroic,
Who broke the twin Arjuna trees playfully,
Having enchanting eyes like a fully bloomed red lotus,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.


ālōkya māturmukhamādareṇa 
stanyam pibantam sarasīruhākṣam ।
saccinmayam dēvamanantarūpam
bālam mukundam manasā smarāmi ॥8॥

Who lovingly looks at His mother’s face,
When drinking milk from her, with eyes like the lotus flower,
Who is the unalloyed form of truth, and who is the God with limitless form,
That Child Mukunda I think of with all my mind.
