वन्दे गुरूणां चरणारविन्दे सन्दर्शितस्वात्मसुखावबोधे ।जनस्य ये जाङ्गलिकायमाने संसारहालाहलमोहशान्त्यै ॥ १ ॥
In plain words
I bow at the lotus feet of my teachers — the feet that showed me the awakening to the bliss of my own Self; the feet that work on a person the way a snake-doctor works, drawing out the stupor of saṃsāra's killing poison until it is still.
Close to the Sanskrit
I bow to the two lotus-feet of the gurus, by which the awakening to the bliss of one's own Self has been revealed — which two, for a person, act as a snake-doctor, for the quieting of the delusion caused by the deadly poison that is saṃsāra.
