shrinaathaadi gurur trayam ganapatim
pitha trayam bhairavam
siddha ughm batuka trayam pada yugam
duti kramam mandalam
viran dvyasta catuska sasti navakam
viraavali pañcakam
shriman maalini mantra raaja sahitam
vande guror mandalam

I bow to the Guru's assemblage, which is composed
of the three preceding Guru's (whose titles) begin
with Shrinatha, Ganapati, three seats of (Shakti),
(eight) Bhairavas, the group of (nine traditional)
Siddhas, three Batukas, two feet (representing
Shiva and Shakti), the sequence of (ten) Dutis,
(three) Mandalas, ten Viras, sixty-four (established
Siddhas), nine (Mudras), the line of five Viras (with
special functions), together with the revered Malini
(the letters of the alphabet) and the Mantraraja.

abhyastaih sakalaih sudir gham anilair
vyaadhi pradair dushkaraih
pranaayaama shatair aneka karanair
duhkhaatmakair durjayaih
yasminn abhyudite vinashyati bali
vaayuh svayam tat kshanaat
praptum tat sahajam svabhaavam anisham
sevadhvam ekam gurum

(What is use of) practicing for so long all those
hundreds of windy Pranayamas, which are difficult
and bring diseases, and the many yogic exercises,
which are painful and difficult to master. Constantly
serve only one Guru to attain that spontaneous
and natural state. When it arises, the powerful
Prana immediately stills of its own accord.
