Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)
॥ श्री भोजन मन्त्रः ॥
॥ भोजन पूर्व मन्त्र ॥
॥ ब्रह्मार्पणम् ॥
ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्म हविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम्।
ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना॥
॥ अर्थ ॥
अर्पण भी ब्रह्म है, हवि (आहुति) भी ब्रह्म है,
ब्रह्मरूपी अग्नि में ब्रह्म द्वारा हवन किया गया है।
जो ब्रह्मकर्म में समाहित है, उसे ब्रह्म ही प्राप्त होता है।
॥ अन्नपूर्णा स्तुति ॥
अन्नपूर्णे सदापूर्णे शङ्करप्राणवल्लभे।
ज्ञानवैराग्यसिद्ध्यर्थं भिक्षां देहि च पार्वति॥
माता च पार्वती देवी पिता देवो महेश्वरः।
बान्धवाः शिवभक्ताश्च स्वदेशो भुवनत्रयम्॥
॥ भोजन प्रार्थना ॥
हरिर्दाता हरिर्भोक्ता हरिरन्नं प्रजापतिः।
हरिः सर्वशरीरस्थो भुङ्क्ते भोजयते हरिः॥
॥ अन्न ब्रह्म स्तुति ॥
ॐ अन्नं ब्रह्मेति व्यजानात्।
अन्नाद्ध्येव खल्विमानि भूतानि जायन्ते।
अन्नेन जातानि जीवन्ति।
अन्नं प्रयन्त्यभिसंविशन्तीति॥
॥ भोजन पश्चात् मन्त्र ॥
अगस्त्यं वह्निसमं च कृष्णमाद्यं गजाननम्।
स्मरेज्जलपिबेत्पश्चात् अन्नं विषविनाशनम्॥
ॐ अन्नपतेऽन्नस्य नो देह्यनमीवस्य शुष्मिणः।
प्रप्रदातारं तारिष ऊर्जं नो धेहि द्विपदे चतुष्पदे॥
॥ इति श्री भोजन मन्त्रः सम्पूर्णः ॥
