कृष्णो रक्षतु मां चराचरगुरु: कृष्णं नमस्ये सदा
कृष्णेनैव सुरक्षितोऽहमसकृत् कृष्णाय दत्तं मन: ।
कृष्णादेव समुद्भवो मम गुरो: कृष्णस्य दासोऽस्म्यहं
कृष्णे भक्तिरचञ्चलास्तु भगवन् हे कृष्ण तुभ्यं नम: ॥

kṛṣṇo rakṣatu māṃ carācara-guru:
kṛṣṇaṃ namasye sadā

kṛṣṇāya dattaṃ mana: ।
kṛṣṇād-eva samudbhavo mama guro:
kṛṣṇasya dāso’smyahaṃ
kṛṣṇe bhaktir-acañcalāstu bhagavan
he kṛṣṇa tubhyaṃ nama: ।।

Let Krishna, the Preceptor of the sentient and insentient beings, protect me. I prostrate before Krishna always. By Krishna have I been redeemed and sustained everytime. My mind is given over to Krishna. My Teacher’s origin is from Krishna alone. I am the loyal servant of Krishna. May my devotion to Krishna be unswerving. O Lord, O Krishna, I prostrate before Thee.

सर्वभूतात्मभूतस्थं सर्वाधारं सनातनं
सर्वकारणकर्तारं निदानं प्रकृते: परम् ।
निरामयं निराभासं निरवद्यं निरञ्जनं
मनसा शिरसा नित्यं प्रणमामि रघूत्तमम् ॥

sarvabhūtātma-bhūtasthaṃ sarvādhāraṃ sanātanaṃ
sarva-kāraṇa-kartāraṃ nidānaṃ prakṛte: param ।
nirāmayaṃ nirābhāsaṃ niravadyaṃ nirañjanaṃ
manasā śirasā nityaṃ praṇamāmi raghūttamam ।।
Sanatkumāra Samhitā

I always prostrate with my mind and head in front of the best of Raghus who abides in all beings as the Self of all, who is the support for all and is eternal; who is the Master of all causes and the supreme abode of Nature, who is guileless, free of false appearances, uncondemnable and blemishless.
