Please, Lord of Yoga, give me yoga
Do not separate yourself from your devotees.

श्रीदत्तो जयतीह दत्तमनिशं ध्यायामि दत्तेन मे
हृच्छुद्धिर्विहिता ततोऽस्तु सततं दत्ताय तुभ्यं नमः ।
दत्तान्नास्ति परायणं श्रुतिमतं दत्तस्य दासोऽस्म्यहं
श्रीदत्ते परभक्तिरस्तु मम भो दत्त प्रसीदेश्वर ॥ ११० ॥

śrīdatto jayatīha dattamaniśaṃ dhyāyāmi dattena me
hṛcchuddhirvihitā tato’stu satataṃ dattāya tubhyaṃ namaḥ .
dattānnāsti parāyaṇaṃ śrutimataṃ dattasya dāso’smyaham .
śrīdatte parabhaktirastu mama bho datta prasīdeśvara .. 110..

Meaning: Sri Datta triumphs here, given, I meditate always on what has been given to me
May the heart be purified, and may it always be given to You. I offer my obeisances to You.
There is no other refuge for Datta, as the Vedas say, and I am the servant of Datta.
O Śrī Datta, please be merciful to me. O Datta, please be merciful to me.
