From the Veda Kalpataru Hindu Resource Center ( http://vedakalpataru.com/?page_id=172 ) a Hindu travel prayer invoking the names of powerful wise kings, bringing strength to the traveler.

Vainyaṁ pṛthum haihayamarjunaṁ ca
Śākuntaleyaṁ bharataṁ nalaṁ ca
Etān nṛpān yaḥ smarati prayāṇe
Tasyārtha siddhiḥ punarāgamaśca

“Accomplishment and safe return will happen to him who remembers during journey the names of these kings – Prthu the son of Vainya, Arjuna (kaarthaveerya) of Haihaya, Bharata son of Shakuntala and Nala”
