vande gurunam caranaravinde

sandarsita svatma sukhavabodhe

nihsreyase jangalikayamane

samsara halahala mohasantyai

​

abahu purusakaram

shankhacakrasi dharinam
sahasra sirasam svetam

pranamami patanjalim

​

I bow to the lotus feet of the Gurus

The awakening happiness of one's own Self revealed

Beyond better, acting like the Jungle physician,

Pacifying delusion, the poison of Samsara

​

Taking the form of a man to the shoulders,

Holding a conch, a discus, and a sword,

One thousand heads white,

To Patanjali, I salute

​
