Ajai Alai

A-jai A-lai A-bhai A-bai A-bhu A-ju A-nas A-kas

"Invincible, indestructible, fearless, unchanging — a litany of the divine attributes"

Full Translation

Ajai Alai is a cascade of divine attributes: invincible (ajai), indestructible (alai), fearless (abhai), unchanging (abai), unformed (abhu), unborn (aju), imperishable (anas), ethereal (akas), and onward. Each pair of syllables names a quality of the infinite, and chanting the full sequence is like walking a ladder of divine qualities into one's own being.
