INVOCATION TO PATANJALI
"Patanjali" (detail) by Suzanne Y. Sigüenza
Copyright 2002, SiriusArts
Yogena cittasya padena vacam
Malam sharirasya cha vaidyakena
Yopa karot am pravaram muninam
Patanjali pranjalir anato smi
Abahu-purusakaram
Shanka-chrakrasi-dharinam
Sahasra-shirasam shvetam
Pranamami Patanjalim
Hari OM
Translation:
I humbly bow to the sage Patanjali
Who taught the science of Yoga to purify the mind;
Grammar to purify speech;
And Medicine for the purification of the body.
Who has assumed the form of a man in his upper body
With a thousand heads of white light
Who holds a conch shell (divine sound);
A wheel (discus of energy representing Time);
And a sword (discrimination).
Again I humbly prostrate before the sage Patanjali.
