OM
I bow to the Lotus feet of the plurality of Guru, wich awaken Insight into the happiness of pure Being, wich are the complete absorption into joy, the jungle physican, eliminating the  delusion caused by the poison of Samsara (conditioned exisence).
I prostrate before the sage Patanjali who has thousand of radiant, white heads (as the divine serpent, Ananta) and who has, as far as his arms, assumed a human form, holding a conch shell (divine sound) a wheel (a discus of light ortime) and a sword (discrimination).
To Him I prostrate
OM
