OPENING DHYĀNA ŚLOKA
ॐ योगेन चित्तस्य पदेन वाचां ।
मलं शरीरस्य च वैद्यकेन ॥
योऽपाकरोत्तमं प्रवरं मुनीनां ।
पतञ्जलिं प्रांजलिरानतोऽस्मि ॥
आबाहु पुरुशाकारं
शंन्खचक्रासि धारिणम् ।
सहस्र शिर्समं श्वेतमं
प्रणमामि पतञ्जलिम् ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Om, yogena cittasya padena vācāṃ
malaṃ śarīrasya ca vaidyakena |
yo’pākarottaṃ pravaraṃ munīnāṃ
patañjaliṃ prāñjalirānato’smi ||
ābāhu puruṣākāraṃ
śaṅkhacakrāsi dhāriṇam |
sahasra śirasaṃ śvetaṃ
praṇamāmi patañjalim ||
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
Meaning : To the noblest of sages, Patanjali, who gave us yoga for serenity of mind, grammar for purity of speech and medicine for the perfection of the body, I salute.
I salute before Patanjali whose upper body has a human form, whose arms hold a conch, a disc and a sword, who is crowned by a thousand headed cobra. Oh incarnation of Adisesha my humble salutations to thee.
