Aum Jagatpitre Namaha
(औं जगतपित्रे नमः - Om, I worship the Father of the world and the universe.)

               In youth, the venomous snakes of sound and sight,
               Of taste and touch and smell,
               Fastened on my vitals and slew my discrimination.
              Alas! My heart, bereft of the thought of Śiva
              Swelled in arrogance and pride!
              Therefore, O Śiva!
              O Mahādeva! O Shambho!
              Forgive me, I pray, my transgressions.

               In my old age, my senses have lost the power of proper judgment and action.
             My body is weak and senile from afflictions,
               But even now, my mind, instead of meditating on Śiva
               Runs after vain desire and hollow discussions.
               Therefore, O Śiva! O Mahādeva! O Shambho!
               Forgive me, I pray, my transgressions.

               I bow to Him who bestows on the sages direct knowledge of ultimate Truth.
               I bow to the teacher of the three worlds,
               Dakshinamurthy (or Dakṣiṇāmūrti), the Lord Himself,
               Who dispels the misery of birth and death.
