I didn’t have time to review all comments so forgive me if this has been raised before.

I am wondering about the bit of the proposed translation that says ‘Please expel any darkness from our hearts’

I cannot correlate this to any term within the full list of direct Sanskrit translations that are listed below. Could you please explain the reason for introducing the concept of ‘our hearts’ and ‘darkness’ into it? I’d like to understand it.

Thanks very much

Rafael

It’s like spreading blessings to the world.
