ABAHU PURUSHA KARAM
SHANKACHAKRASI DHARINAM
SAHASRA SHIRASHAM SHVETAM
PRANAMAMI PATANJALIM
The soul shines like an emerald on the head of the serpent Anantha,
who has one thousand heads with three unlimited circles around it.
O, King of serpents, I pay respect to you.
Manifesting as a man with ornaments of a conch and a wheel,
You have on e thousand snow white heads.
I surrender to you Patanjali.
To guru:
OM AGYANA TIMIRANDHASYA
GYANANGYANA SHALAKAYA
CAKSHUR UNMILITAM YENA
TATSMAI SHREE GURAVE NAMAHA
Yogavisharada Sri BNS Iyengar namo namaha
I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge.
I offer respectful obeisances to him.
To Yogavisharada Shree BNS Iyengar.
