• Geeta Iyengar’s Translation#

  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, and disc and a sword, who is crowned by a thousand headed cobra. Oh incarnation of Adisesa my humble salutations to thee.

• A more literal translation#

  yogena cittasya padena vācāṃ
  With yoga [the impurities] of the citta, with grammar the speech
  malaṃ śarīrasya ca vaidyakena
  And impurities of the body with medicine
  yo’pākarottaṃ pravaraṃ munīnāṃ
  He who removed these, the greatest of sages
  patañjaliṃ prāñjalirānato’smi
  To Patanjali with folded hands I bow

  ābāhu puruṣākāraṃ
  From the arms up to the head he has human form
  śaṅkhacakrāsi dhāriṇam
  He carries the conch (sankha), disc (cakra) and sword (asi)
  sahasra śirasaṃ śvetaṃ
  A thousand white heads [of the Ādiśeṣa]
  praṇamāmi patañjalim
  I pray to Patanjali
