ambā tvāmanusandadhāmi bhagavadgītā bhavedveśinim

Translation

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, which Bhagavan Narayana Himself spoke to Arjuna, and which the ancient sage Vedavyasa wrote in the midst of the Mahabharata, and which flows with that nectar that becomes Advaita—O Goddess of eighteen chapters, O Mother, I remember you who destroy the obstacles of speech.

pārtho vatsaḥ sudhīrbhoktā dugdhaṃ gītāmṛtaṃ mahat

Translation

The Pandavas crossed the impenetrable rock of Bhishma and Drona on both banks, the water of Jayadratha, the black rock of Gandhara, the crocodile of Shalya, the current of Kripa, the tide of Karna, the terrible sharks of Ashvatthama and Vikarna, and the whirlpool of Duryodhana—only by the grace of Bhagavan, the divine boatman.

loke sajjanaśatpadairaharahaḥ pepiyāmānaṃ mudā

bhūyadbharatapaṃkajaṃ kalimalapradhvamasi naḥ śreyase

Translation

The lotus flower which is the Mahabharata, may it fill our impurities with the pure nectar which is the words of Vyasa, the son of sage Parashara; the fragrance is that of the Gita; the lily petals are the various narratives, the well-told stories of Bhagavan Krishna; the bees which are the beings of the world come and drink the honey every day.
