Ashtanga Mantras

Opening Mantra

vande gurūnām caranāra vinde sandarśita

svātma sukhāvabodhe

nihśreyase jāngalikāyamāne samsāra

hālāhala mohaśantyai

ābāhu purusākāram śankacakrāsi dhārinam

sahasra śirasam śvetam pranamāmi patañjalim

Translation

I bow to the lotus feet of the Gurus

The awakening happiness of one’s own self revealed,

Beyond better, acting like the jungle physician,

Pacifying delusion, the poison of Samsara.

Taking the form of a man to the shoulders,

Holding a conch, a discus, and a sword,

One thousand heads white,

To Patanjali, I salute.
