OM
1st Chant: Source: Yoga Taravalli by Adi Shankaracharya
I worship the guru’s lotus feet
awakening the happiness of the self revealed beyond comparison, acting like the jungle physician to pacify delusion from the poison of existence
Translation from Yoga Mala by
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
2nd Chant: Source: Traditional
Translation:
I invoke the sage Patanjali, who has thousands of radiant white heads . He assumes the form of a man until the arms, which hold a conch shell, a chakra(or wheel) and a sword.
