Yoga System of Patanjali

About this book

May he, who, having abandoned his primal form, exercises his power to show kindness to the world in many ways-he with the beautiful hood and many mouths, possessed of deadly poison and yet abolishing the mass of hindrances-he the source of all knowledge, and whose girdle of attendant snakes produces continual pleasure,-may he, the divine Lord of Serpents, protect you, with his white stainless body-he, the giver of concentration (yoga), and himself concentrated in concentration.
