Invocation to Patanjali
Yogena cittasya padena vacam
Malamasrirasya ca vaidyakena
Yoparottam pravaram muninam
Patanjalim pranjalirana tosmi
Ababu purushakaram
sankhacakrasiharinam
Sahasrasirasam svetam
Shrimate Anataya Nagarajaya
Namo Namah
To the noblest of sages, Patanjali.
Who gave Yoga for serenity of mind,
Grammar for purity of speech,
and Medicine for perfection of the body, I bow.
I prostrate myself before Patanjali
Whose Upper body has a human form,
Whose arms hold a conch and a disc,
Who is crowned by a thousand-headed cobra,
O incarnation of Adisesa, my salutations to thee.
