subham = best
asti = he is/she is/it is OR be present, to have
sarvadagatam = last all the time, last at all times

I dont know how you'd put that together, but there are the English versions of the words.

Here it is in Sanskrit script :

subham = सुभम्
asti = अस्ति
sarvadaa = सर्वदा
gatam = गतम

I hope this helped at least a little.

Good luck!

hi.
thanks very much for answers.

The mantra should mean something like: may all living entities be happy
according to book where i found it.

so i correct the ,suham asti, to ,subham astu,= best wishes

but i didn't found anywhere ,sarvadagatam , so your answer was big help to me.

thanks one more time.
