Patañjali Invocation Mantra

योगेन चित्तस्य पदेन वाचां
मलम् शरीरस्य च वैद्यकेन ।
योऽपाकरोत्तम् प्रवरं मुनीनां
पतञ्जलिं प्राञ्जलिरानतोऽस्मि ॥

yogena cittasya padena vācāṁ
malam śarīrasya ca vaidyakena |
yo'pākarottaṁ pravaraṁ munīnāṁ
patañjaliṁ prāñjalir ānato'smi ||

I respectfully bow with folded hands to Sage Patañjali,
who purified the mind through Yoga,
the speech through grammar,
and the body through medicine —
the greatest of sages.

• Mind: Patañjali offered the system of Yoga to purify the mind and achieve self-mastery.
• Speech: Through Pāṇini’s grammar tradition, Patañjali contributed a major commentary (Mahābhāṣya) that refined Sanskrit language and expression.
• Body: He is also linked with Āyurveda (traditional Indian medicine), showing his mastery in healing the body.

Thus, Patañjali is revered as a triple benefactor — uplifting human beings at all three levels:

• Mental (Yoga),
• Verbal (Grammar),
• Physical (Medicine).
