गलिततिमिरमाल: शुभ्रतेज:प्रकाशो
धवलकमलशोभो ज्ञानपुञ्जाट्टहास:।
यमिजनहृदिगम्यो निष्कलं ध्यायमान:
प्रणतमवतु मां स: मानसो राजहंस:॥From whom all gloom and darkness have dispersed;
That radiant Light, white, beautiful
As bloom of lotus white is beautiful;
Whose laughter loud sheds knowledge luminous;
Who, by undivided meditation,
Is realised in the self-controlled heart:
May that Lordly Swan of the limpid lake
Of my mind, guard me, prostrate before Him!Swami Vivekananda
