Vunde gurunam caranaravinde

nihsreyase jangalikayamane

english translation: i worship the gurus' lotus feet,
awakening the happiness of the self revealed,
beyond comparison, working like the jungle physician
to pacify loss of consciousness from the poison of existence.
in the form of a man up to the shoulders,
holding a conch, discus and sword,
thousand headed, white
i bow respectfully
peace
