कुमाऊं व गढ़वाल में प्रचलित राइ मंत्रने का मंत्र

ॐ नमो आदेस,

राई रुपी तेरी क्या क्या पूजा छै,

मेरी पूजा कुखडी मंद की धार ,

रातो लाणो, पिंगळो खाणों,

सफेद चंदन गली नली को बाण उखेला ,

जिकुड़ी को बाण उखेला,

सिर छड़ी पेट पड़ी ,

आँखों को मांदो

पेट को डाँडो, उखेल करी नि लाइ

ता माता यशोदा पिता उग्रसेन की दुवाई ,

फोर मंत्र इश्वरो वाचा:
