Mantra

न वै याचे राज्यं न च कनकमाणिक्यविभवं
     न याचेऽहं रम्यां सकलजनकाम्यां वरवधूम्।
सदा काले काले प्रमथपतिना गीतचरितो
     जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥७॥
परब्रह्मापीडः कुवलयदलोत्फुल्लनयनो
     निवासी नीलाद्रौ निहितचरणोऽनन्तशिरसि ।
रसानन्दो राधासरसवपुरालिङ्गनसुखो
     जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥६॥

I do not want Kingdom, nor wealth of Gold and precious stones.

I do not want a wife who is desirable to everybody.

Please manifest Thyself within my sight, O the Lord of the universe, whose sport is ever sung by Siva.

O Who is the Crown of Brahma, Whose eyes are like the pet-als of a full blown Lotus, Who resides under the Ocean, Whose feet rest on the head of Ananta, the King of the serpents, Who is full of love, Who is Blissful in the embrace of the loving body of Radha, please manifest Thyself within my sight O the Lord of the universe!

Srijagannathastotram 7, 6

Haragauryashtakam 8

सदा शिवानां परिभूषणायै सदाऽशिवानां परिभूषणाय ।
शिवान्वितायै च शिवान्विताय नमः शिवायै च नमः शिवाय ॥ ८ ॥

Ever She embellishes the good, Ever He embellishes the evil;She is one with Ishwara (Shiva), He is one with Ishwari (Shivā) I bow down to Ishwari (Shivā), and I bow down to Ishwara (Shiva).

Translated by Nolini Kanta Gupta
CWNKG, Vol. 8, p. 54

यं ब्रह्मा वरुणेन्द्ररुद्रमरुतः स्तुन्वन्ति दिव्यैः स्तवै-
वेदैः साङ्गपदक्रमोपनिषदैर्गायन्ति यं सामगाः।
ध्यानावस्थिततद्गतेन मनसा पश्यन्ति यं योगिनो
यस्यान्तं न विदुः सुरासुरगणा देवाय तस्मै नमः॥

Whom Brahma, Varuna, Indra and Vayu praise with celestial hymns; of whom the Samavedins sing with vedas, vedangas, padas, kramas and the upanishads; whom the yogins see in samadhi with one pointed concentration, whose limits neither the devas nor the asuras know, salutations to that God.

Srimadbhagatam - Bhagabat Pranam

ॐ वरद चरणयोस्ते वाक्यपुष्पोपहारम्
प्रमहसि पदे निस्वैगुण्ये श्रीअरविन्दाय नमः।

OM Giver of boons I offer at Thy feet songs of praises like a garland of flowers. Salutation to Sri Aurobindo, who is beyond the three modes of Nature and is the highest goal made of Light.

Shivamahimnah stotram 31, 30

ॐ श्रीअरविन्दाय नमः
वन्दे मीरां वन्दे मीरे ते चरणारविन्दम्।
शरणं शरणं शरणम्।

Om. Salutations to Sri Aurobindo
Salutations to Mira. Salutations to Thy lotus feet O Mira.
I take refuge, I take refuge, I take refuge.
