May we both be protected.  May we both be nourished.  May we work together with great energy. May our intellect be sharpened (May our study be effective).  Let there be no Animosity between us.  

May there be freedom from three possible obstacles (the forces over which we have no control—Adhyaatmika - suffering from one's body and mind. Adhibhautika - suffering from other living entities. Adhidaivika - suffering from nature (demigods).

Salutations to our gurus.
