    sages,  Patanjali,  who  gave  yoga  for  serenity  and  sanctity  of  mind,  grammar  for  clarity  and  purity  of  speech,  and  
    medicine  for  perfection  of  health.  Let  us  prostrate  before  Patanjali,  an  incarnation  of  Adisesa,  whose  upper  body  
    has  a  human  form,  whose  arms  hold  a  conch  and  a  disc,  and  who  is  crowned  by  a  thousand-­‐headed  cobra.”
