    This prayer is dedicated to Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras. It praises Patanjali for teaching the path to self-realization and happiness, and for having the ability to remove the poison of ignorance that fuels the cycle of rebirth. The prayer describes Patanjali as having a human form below the shoulders and holding symbolic objects, with the upper half of his body having thousands of radiant heads, referring to his incarnation as Adisesa, the cosmic serpent.

    English Translation

    I pray at the lotus feet of the supreme guru who teaches

    the good knowledge, showing the way to knowing

    the self-awakening great happiness; who is the doctor

    of the jungle, able to remove the poison of the ignorance

    of conditioned existence.

    To Patanjali, an incarnation of Adisesa, white in colour

    with 1000 radiant heads, human in form below the

    shoulders holding a sword, a wheel of fire, and a conch,

    to him, I prostrate.
