Vandana (The Salutation) Icchhami Khamasano, Vandium, javanijjae
Nisihiae matthaena Vandami Om Agf yafinam, kriyahinem, mantrahinam cha yatkrutam Tatsarvam Kripaya devāha Kshamayantu parmeshwarahā
Avahanam na jänāmi, na janāmi visarjanam
Poojā vidhim na jānāmi, prasced parameshwar! (Meaning - O revered sir! With all my might and pure body, I intend to ask for forgiveness with my head lowered at your feet. O supreme Lords! May you kindly pardon all my such actions which might be devoid of permission of the scriptures), rites and mantras. O supreme Lord! I know neither the ceremony of calling you, nor the ceremony of biding farewell. I know not even the rites of worship, (still) may you be pleased with me.
