Opening Invocation + Translation   
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

I prostrate before the sage Patanjali
Who has thousands of radiant white heads
And who has, as far as his arms, assumed the form of a man
Holding a conch, a wheel, and a sword

Closing Invocation + Translation
May all be well with mankind.
May the leaders of the earth protect in every way by keeping to the right path.

May there be goodness for those who know the earth to be sacred.
May all the worlds be happy.
