In addition to
pronounciation, you should also know
where to pause in Sanskrit chanting.
In 'na
karmanA na prajayA
dhanena' , the meaning is "
not by action , not by progeny , not by wealth
( can one be happy ) " . If you pause at the wrong place and
chant " dhane na " , instead of dhanena , the meaning changes to, "
happiness is attainable only by wealth " . Therefore, whether you know the
meaning or not, at least chant the mantra correctly.

Forgiveness

MEANING:
O Lord, Kindly forgive me for all
my wrong actions done knowingly or unknowingly, either through my organs of
action (hands, feet, speech) or through my organs of perception (tears, eyes)
or by my mind. Glory unto thee, O Lord, who is the ocean of Kindness .
