The Shami tree is worshipped with the recitation of the following prayer for success.
शमयते पापं शमी लोहितकण्टका । धारिण्यर्जुनबाणानां रामस्य प्रियवादिनी ।। करिष्यमाणयात्रायां यथाकाल सुखं मया । तत्र निर्विघ्नकर्री त्वं भव श्रीरामपूजिते ।।
Meaning : The Shami tree cleanses sins. Its thorns are reddish in colour. It is Lord Rama’s favourite tree and in such a tree Pandavas hid their arms. O Shami, Lord Rama has worshipped you. I now embark upon my journey to victory. May you make it pleasant and free from obstacles.
