Hello to everybody..  :)

I am from Europe, Czech Republic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic) and I would like to ask somebody for help. I need exact form of mantra in sanskrit language (devanagari script). I don't know right form in English, but it's something like this:

subham astu sarvadagatam  ???

(there is a page with this topic, but I really need absolutely correct form of this mantra -
http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/language/sanskrit-translation-190448.html)

Please, can somebody help me and give me (if it's possible) some direct link to this mantra in original devanagari script?

I am ataching two images but I am afraid it's wrong - from students of sanskrit in Czech Republic..  :D

thanks very much for everybody..  ;)

edit:
The mantra should mean something like: may all living entities be happy

Dear friend,

First of all welcome to this online sai mandir.

The english form which you gave was 'subham astu sarvadagatam' but after seeing the attachment and translating the hindi words to english, the exact english form is 'subham astu sarvjagtam'. I did a search which those words but couldn't find any. Will let you know once I get anything related. Baba bless you and guide. om sai ram.

Thank you very much, adwaita ;)

That english form isn't exactly correct, there are several version on internet.
For example here:

Now they all sat together like friends, eating barley bread with yak cheese crumbled over top. A baby boy in trousers and apron crawled underfoot, while the piercing odor of stale yak cheese hung around them like a miasma. Sang Yum had blessed the tent and the baby, uttered magic words over every pony, and finished with a Sanscrit mantra or two: "Subham astu sarvajagatum!" and "Sarva mangalam!" pronounced resoundingly while the tent-wife sighed with pleasure. It was as if the Dalai Lama himself had come to honor her threshold.

It's just phonetic form of pronunciation of original version in hindi.
Don't you know this mantra? It's one of the most known mantras - like "Om Mani Padme Hum" and.. Do you know anybody, who could know it and help..?

Is there any way how can I give you (help increase) karma..?  :)

Thank you very much!  :)
I can't find and understand these little differencies between single words and their combinations which creates whole mantra.
For example - what does mean that sign at the end of mantra?
शुभमस्तु सर्व जगताम

which version of this mantra is correct? both? (see attached picture - first two mantras are the same version, from two different sources - third is different version, from v2birit)

The last two letters in the first word शुभमस्तु (स ्तु) are a little different from the last letter (?) in the first word of another version of mantra. I can't find this letter. Is it some kind of combination of these two letters?

Can I use both version? Are there correct?

thanks again.. ;)

The letters may not display correctly on your computer, if INDIC language support is not enabled. The second one in Orange is the perfectly Correct image. You need not look anywhere else. On my computer what i typed & what is in the orange image appear the same.

Also the | or || signs which appear at the beginning or end of the mantra are nothing but delimiters (seperators), just like fullstops in english, which seperate one sentence from other, in sanskrit
