Oṃ

vande gurūṇāṃ caraṇāravinde

sandarśita svātma sukhāva bodhe

niḥ śreyase jāṅgalikāyamāne

saṃsāra hālāhala mohaśāṃtyai

ābāhu puruṣākāraṃ

śaṃkhacakrāsi dhāriṇam

sahasra śirasaṃ śvetaṃ

praṇamāmi patañjalim

Oṃ

Oṃ

svasti prajābhyaḥ paripālayantāṃ

nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṃ mahīśāḥ

gobrāhmaṇebhyaḥ śubhamastu nityaṃ

lokāssamastāḥ sukhino bhavantu

Oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
