This blessing mantra is most popular at all weddings and worship rituals in our Hindu life.
But most of us do not know the full meaning of what it says. We simply understand that it is a blessing with some good wishes for your prolonged life.
I am producing this sloka along with its full meanings in the below lines.
It is actually a sloka of two lines. But, mostly, we are accustomed to using only the second line of it during most of those blessing ceremonies.
