Chant this mantra while tying Rakshabandhan
Yen Baddho Bali: King Danavendro Mahabala.
Ten tvampi badhnami raksha ma chal ma chal..
In the literal meaning of this mantra, the sister says while tying the Rakshasutra that I tie you with the same thread with which the great mighty King Bali was tied. O Rakshasa (Rakhi) you remain firm. Never deviate from your resolve to protect yourself. With this wish, sister ties Rakhi on her brother’s wrist.
