कृष्णद्वैपायनं व्यासं सर्वभूतहिते रतम् ।वेदाब्जभास्करं वन्दे शमादिनिलयं मुनिम् ॥ २ ॥
In plain words
I bow to the sage Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa—the sun that wakes the lotus of the Vedas, the very home of inner peace, and a soul wholly dedicated to the welfare of every living being.
Close to the Sanskrit
I bow to Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, who is devoted to the welfare of all beings, who is the sun for the lotus of the Vedas, who is the abode of tranquility and other virtues, and who is a sage.
