Translation

Sembah sujud kepada-Mu—yang menggembirakan para pemuja pratyāhāra (penarikan indera); yang bersemayam pada landasan teguh (pratiṣṭhāna) keadaan mantap; dan Engkau sendiri adalah dhāraṇā, peneguhan tumpuan. Wahai Tuhan, hormat kepada-Mu yang bersuka dalam dhāraṇā, wahai Pati yang menganugerahkan penguasaan minda untuk melepaskan paśu daripada pāśa.
