TANTRA NINE
TANTRA NINE
(Verses 2649-3047) 1 DARSHAN OF GURU MONASTERY 2649: Gurus Have Reached Lord's Feet
Smoke and sound
Oblations and sacrificial offering
In worship spread;
"All these are for my Lord;"
The Gurus who thus meditate,
Who have monasteries founded,
Have verily reached Feet of Lord.
2650: Lord is in the Body
None the habitation the Lord has
But the body-house of Jiva;
Or has the Lord any other home?
Let them find out;
Even after having found out
That Jiva's body is Siva's home
They say, "He (Lord) is outside." 2651: Great Way of Seeking
Having discovered the Great Way of seeking
The flower-decked feet of Siva I reached within;
Beyond seeking is He;
Greatness indeed is where He resides;
He stood as life of the revolving world. 2652: Revelation of Lord's Abode
I shall reveal where He is seated;
And where His mountain is;
I shall reveal where His retreat-cave is
And where that is located;
I shall reveal where His Adharas (triple) are;
And the forest where He is
All these eight I shall reveal
To denizens of world here below. 2653: Lord is in Guru's Monastery
The Guru-face is Lord's pedestal
The monastery is Lord's Holy Land;
The Holy Assembly of blemishless vision
Is Lord's abode;
The heart that performs the Sixteen worships inside
Is Lord's sacred throne;
The Adharas within
Are Lord's astral cave. 2654: Lord's Abode Inside the Body
The Adharas six are His pedestal inward
The Sakti pervasive is His Throne
The universal God within is Siva Himself;
Thus it is,
For these who inward reflect and know. 2655: Jnanis Seek Lord Within the Light of Manifestness
Mayas twine envelope the body of sheaths five
When their end they reach,
The Holy Light of itself appears;
Those who seek the Truth in that Manifestness (Svarupa)
Are the Jnanis, in Silentness Exceeding.
2 DARSHAN OF JNANA GURU
2656: When the Holy Guru Appears
When the Tattvas six and thirty subdued are,
Then shall the Holy Guru appear
For you to adore;
Siva-State too will on you be conferred;
And then will well up the Bliss Ineffable.
2657: Parasivam is Beyond the Three Turiyas
Beyond the Turiyas Three
Is the Light Resplendent;
It is the Parasiva that pervades all;
In that Land
That knows neither contraction nor expansion
Are the Feet of Guru Holy
That, beyond speech, is.
2658: What These Body Organs are for
To bear Nandi's Feet, I was gifted this head;
To praise Nandi Great, I was gifted this mouth;
To vision Nandi Eternal, I was gifted these eyes;
To think of Nandi afar, I was gifted this mind.
2659: At the Thought of Guru's Form Impurities Vanish
At the thought of Garuda's form
The serpent's poison leaves
Its terrors lose;
Unto it,
At the thought of Guru's form
The triple Malas leave instant;
The Jiva then Siva becomes.
2660: When Jiva Becomes Siva
None know where the Lord resides,
To those who seek where the Lord resides
The Lord within them resides;
When they the Lord see,
Jiva becomes Siva.
2661: God is in the Silentness of Perception Beyond Three Turiyas
To perceive the things that appear,
To perceive the things that appear not,
That is Knowledge Higher;
To perceive the things in ways different
As in waking, dreaming and rest of states,
-These three perceptions will there be not,
In the State the Three Turiyas transcended;
There Nandi stands firm, in Silentness Exalted.
2662: Sakti is in Ajna Center
In the Center between the eye-brows
Is the Sphere of the Moon;
There on the flower of petals two
Is Virgin Sakti seated;
Radiant as Crystal is Her Form;
(To vision Her)
Seek you the Guru
Who all bonds sundered.
2663: Siva is in Sahasrathala (North)
Into heart He entered,
For the seven Worlds to rejoice;
Into earth He entered
For the heavens to support;
Into rage He entered
For the eight directions to tremble;
Into wilderness He entered
His abode in North Mountain to be.
2664: Way of Seeking Within Leads to Supreme Attainment
Of five sheaths is the Jiva's body;
Unto a forest is that body
Where the Jiva-bird its abode has;
If the Jiva seeks the Way of Sixteen worships
Then is Jiva's Ten attainments are.
2665: Love Lord and Sever Pasas
Our Holy Nandi
Once He loves, separation Knows not;
Think of His Form
And within you He melts;
Enter into His Essence
And see Him in your heart;
For those who can do this,
The seminal Karmas slumbering die;
The Ego-Consciousness forever perishes.
2666: Lord can be Reached by Earnest Seeking
Reach you may
Our Holy One that is Truth Perfect;
Sunder Pasas strong and away cast them;
Seek Him firm and think constant within;
Reached then shall be
The Holy One that is Dharma.
2667: Think of Him and He Thinks of You
Think of Him,
And He thinks of those who think of Him;
Think of Him, the radiance that is,
Of the Flower that blooms in the Divine Fount within;
Smaller than the split grain may they be,
But if firm they hold Him,
Great they shall sure be.
2668: In Seeking be not Discouraged by Initial Failures
When you seek to reach the Lord
And have a miss,
Take it as the work of your evil Karma in the past,
And so persevere in your devotion fervent;
You shall at last reach the Primal Lord.
2669: How Lord Enters Within
Thinking of Lord
Their inconstancy lost;
Uniting in Lord
Their existence lost;
In their thoughts
Their ego lost;
Thus he entered
Showing the Way Illumined.
2670: Holy Guru Shows the Light in Eye-Brow Center
Unto a lustrous ray of red gem
On to a green stone set
Is the Holy Guru's Jnana precept;
That ray in the eye-brow Center is;
It is the Light within the Light Resplendent.
2671: God's Form
As mouth, eye, body and life
The Yoga-God is;
Beyond earth, water, fire, wind and sky
Void His Form is.
2672: His Love for Sakti and His Devotees
Praise Him as your Pati (Lord)
In all Worlds Parasiva's writ runns;
His one half to the Great Grace lends;
The other half to His devotees gave
For their goal to reach;
He who this world fashioned.
2673: By Grace He Can Be Seen
He is the Lord of Heavens,
By the vast spatial glades surrounded;
Except Him we know Param (supreme) none;
Of the Celestials, Vanavas and Dhanavas,
None have seen Him ever;
Only those who received His Grace
Have seen Him forever.
2674: Grace Gives Clear Vision
He made Jivas renounce
That they the Lord adore;
He made them praise Him in words meek;
That He the Nandi His Grace confers;
No more the other Gods we adore;
Our vision is clear now;
We became the Object
For other Jivas to seek and worship.
3 PRANAVA SAMADHI
2675: Articulate Pranava is Siva's Form; Inarticulate Pranava Sakti's Form
The Sthula (articulate) Pranava (Aum)
Is the mighty key-word to Bliss of Manifestness (Svarupa)
The Sukshma (inarticulate) Pranava
Is Sakti's Divine Manifestness (Svarupa)
The Mudra (Jnana) is the Cause of that Manifestness
The Pranava aloft is the Vedanta Highway.
2676: Greatness of Aum
Aum is the one Word Supreme;
Aum is the Form-Formless;
Aum is the Infinite Diversity;
Aum is Siddhi and Mukti radiant.
2677: In Aum Jiva, Para and Siva Merge
In Aum arose the elements five;
In Aum arose the creation entire;
In the atita (finite) of Aum
The three Jivas merged;
Aum is the Form
Of Jiva, Para and Siva in union.
2678: Aum is Bliss of Brahman, the Universe and the Adharas
That letter-cluster (Aum made up of letters A-U-M)
Is the Bliss of Brahman;
The Subtle One
As visible creation vast expands;
The Adharas, all, comprise its Form;
Thus is it Known to Jnanis of knowledge vast.
2679: Goodly Teaching of Sanmarga
My despairing thoughts
Are in confusion thrown;
The steady thoughts
Lead to vision clear of Light Divine;
The steadfast mind
Is the place, environs and devotion appropriate;
Goodly indeed is Upadesa (teaching) of Sanmarga (Jnana).
26803*6Ascending Order to Finite Goal Within
To vision the Sixteen-Petalled Center within is Sodasa
It is the Way of Sanmargis;
Beyond is the end of Nine centers,*
Still beyond is Pranava
Ascending further beyond is the End Finite,
Of Jnana (Knowledge) and Jneya (Known) in one.
4 LIGHT
2681: Know Light Within
Know the Light, your Form becomes Light;
Know the Hidden Form; you that Form become;
Know the Light's Form; you that Light become;
That Light within you to melt, He in love stands.
2682: That Light Dispels Soul's Darkness
Easy to enter the Universe of Eight;*
That spreading Light of immense vastness
Dispells the Primordial darkness entire;
In the Mystic Lotus within as day-light it spreads;
Dispelling contending Pasas,
Was my Lord there seated.
2683: The Light Within is the Source of All Light
The luminaries Fire, Sun and Moon
Their luminousness received by Grace of Divine Light;
The Light that gave that Light
Is a Mighty Light of Effulgence Immense;
That Light dispelling my darkness,
In me stood into oneness suffused.
2684: Lord's Form is Light
The Lord is the Effulgent Light,
Birth He has none;
The luminous sun and moon are His eyes;
The lustrous fire is His Fore-Head Eye;
Thus is His Resplendent Form of dazzling Light.
2685: That Light Engrosses the Light of the Five Elements
Below that Light Above
Is the wind, earth, fire, sky and water;
Rousing the Light (of Kundalini) within
You shall in the astral sphere be;
There indeed is the one Light
That engrosses the lights of elements five.
2686: The Light Within is the Blending of All Lights-Jnana, Siva and Pranava
That Light within
Is pure as light of lightning;
It is Light that is great and red;
It is the Light of Param
That beams Jnana;
It is the Light of Adharas six ascended,
It is the Light born of constant thought on Pure Word (Aum)
It is the Light that is blended of these lights all.
2687: The Little Light Within Points to the Effulgent Light
The Effulgent Light stands as a sparkling light concealed
That ever to the shining Lord points;
It is the light of the heart;
It is the rich light that within the body pulsates
Pervading all,
-Thus did the Lord as Light stand.
2688: Divine Light Devours Soul's Darkness
Luminous is that Light;
It is Light that devours Soul's darkness;
It is Light of those who adore Him in Jnana Light;
He devours the poison that with ambrosia arises
From the milky seas
And holds it in His throat ever;
Unto it, is His Light too.
2689: When the Lights of Siva and Sakti Blend in Jiva Light
As unto the Light of Lord
That in Him reposes;
Is the Light of His Sakti Grace,
When the three lights Sun, Moon and Fire
Within shines by Yoga Way,
The Lord, indeed, nears you,
As one Light in your inner Light.
2690: Lord's Light and Jiva's Light Merge Within
The Light within is but Jiva;
The Lord too who stood within was a gemly Light Effulgent;
Flashing as lightning in the astral sphere,
That Light with Sakti's Light and Jiva's Light into one merged.
2691: Dancing in the Darkness of Pasa, Siva Light Enters Ummara Sakti
The Lord that is Light Effulgent,
Entering the dark arena of Pasa
Dances as Light in that darkness;
As the Forehead-Eyed God thus dances,
He as Light Effulgent in Ummara Sakti merged.
2692: Siva's Light Becomes Sakti's Light of Grace
Those who thus went by the Secret Way of Yoga,
Reached Sakti of dark fragrant tresses;
Primal Parai She is;
One with Lord of Celestial's Light She is;
-The Light beyond the Pure Void;
That Light of Her forever dispelled Pasa's creeping darkness.
2693: Even Sceptics Can Reach that Light if they Seek in Devotion
"God there is; God there is none"
Thus the men of world diverse hold;
Will they who hold "Primal there is none,"
Ever reach Siva State?
Even they who say, "We saw not God"
If in devotion stand,
He as Light Effulgent in them is;
He the Light of Astral Sphere (Chidambaram) within.
2694: He Who Receives Siva's Light Becomes Jivan Mukta, Rid of Mayaic Darkness
The light Effulgent that glows afar
Is the Lord that spreads His beams as unto the Sun;
When He the Maya's darkness dispells,
Jiva in this body, a Jnani-Renunciate becomes (Jivan Mukta).
2695: Jiva Purified by Siva's Light Unites in Him
His Holy Form is of shimmering coral-hue;
He wears the holy ashes pure white;
He is crimson as pure gold and coral ripe;
He is the Primal Lord;
When I, dispelled of my darkness,
Shone as coral red,
He, the Dancing Lord,
In me in union stood.
2696: Jiva then Blossoms as Divine Flower
In the Heavens stood Lord;
The Celestials, too, stood there;
Yet they knew Him not,
And bewildered ever stand;
When Pasa's desires
And the odor of Karma Past
Together leave,
The Jiva as a Flower of Divine blossoms.
2697: Seek Himself as Yourself
Himself as Lord
In all things, He alone is;
Himself is Yourself
Thus you seek Him;
The very Heaven is He in this vast earth;
Sweet is He;
May you Him adore.
5 STHULA (ARTICULATE) PANCHAKSHARA
2698: Fifty Letters Become Five
The letters Fifty are Vedas all;
The letters Fifty are Agamas all;
When the secret of letters Fifty is known,
The Fifty letters, Five Letters Became.
2699: Fifty Letters Became Fifty-One
With the letter "A" intoned in commencement,
The letters Fifty, Fifty-One became;
With letter "U" intoned high with letter "A",
And with letter "M", it (A&U&M as AUM) ended;
And again with letter "N" rising,
It became Nandi's name "Aum Nama Sivaya."
2700: Seek the Seminal Mantra Nama Sivaya
In the sixteen letters commencing with "A"
(Of the Shodasa Flower within*)
Is the Parai (Sakti);
In the Unmani Sakti beginning with "U"
Is the light of Lord within;
The Mantra commencing with letter "Si" (Sivaya Nama)
Is Siva and Vedas all;
With letter "Na" commencing
That order reversed
Is Nama Sivaya;
That verily is the seminal Mantra;
That Mantra do seek.
2701: How Aum and the Five Letters are Distributed in the Six Centers
In the six Adharas (centers) within
Are distributed the Five Letters and Aum;
That comprise Aum Nama Sivaya (Na, Ma, Si, Va, Ya);
In the Muladhara is Na
In the Svadhishtana is Ma
In the Navel Center is Si
In the Heart Center is Va
In the Throat Center is Ya
In the Eye-brow Center is Aum.
2702: The Five Letters are the Life's Refuge
When the seven beams of Prana in fury rise,
When the four cognitive senses, their leave take,
And as Death's Hand stretched and seizes,
Life ebbs away;
Then shall the Five Letters above the Soul's refuge be.
2703: Chant Five Letters at Dawn and Dusk
When the Sun and the Moon rise,
They know not the mantra to chant and muse;
Well may they then chant full-mouthed
The Holy Mantra, Five-Lettered,
Wholesome,and praise the Lord;
-The Mantra that is so sacred to Sakti
Who with Siva stands.
2704: Chant Sivaya Nama in God-Love
Chant that mantra Sivaya Nama once,
Your heart welling up in God-Love;
Then will transparent ambrosia within you well up;
They who seek not that pure ambrosia to drink
Will be unto bubbles of a water-fall,
That know rest none from birth's whirl, ever.
2705: The Five Letters Will Close the Gateway to Birth
Take to the Way the Guru showed,
And blot out the reckoning of births;
To them who seek to close the birth's cyclic way
The Five-Letters alone show the Grace-Way.
2706: Blessings of the Five Lettered Mantra-of Siva's Feet and Form
When Karma's miseries harass you,
Chant the Five-Lettered Mantra
Of Nandi pervasive;
If you thus seek Him,
He, the Grace of His Holy Feet confers;
Your devotion shall lead you to Siva Form.
2707: Siva's Five Letter Mantra is the Final Refuge
Think of Him in your heart,
Praise Him as "My Lord"
When Death approaches you, say:
"Lord, You alone are my Refuge;"
Then will you receive
The Grace of Lord in Letters Five seated,
The Lord who resides
In the snow-clad mountain of North (Kailas).
2708: Letters Five Alone Can Dispel Darkness
Knowing not the greatness
Of our Lord's Letters Five,
Will they ever dispel their darkness?
Poor in spirit are they, (who think otherwise);
They will to the nether world consigned be
Surrounded by serpents of diverse species.
6 SUKSHMA (INARTICULATE) PANCHAKSHARA
2709: Sivayanama is Alchemic
In slighting terms they speak of our Lord;
With thoughts centering on the Light
And hearts melting in love
Let them chant His name;
With the alchemic pill of Sivaya Nama
He will turn thy body gold.
2710: Si-Va-Ya-Na-Ma Brings Union of Jiva With Siva-Sakti
The Letters Si Va Ya Na Ma denote
Siva, Sakti, Jiva, Mala and Maya respective;
Chant it, for the five Pasas-Mala to disappear;
When with Siva and Sakti, Jiva unites
(That is when you say Si Va Ya)
The harassing Pasas flee away.
2711: The Five Letters Denote the Five Relations in the Liberation Process
The Five-lettered name of Siva (Sivayanama)
Is Siva-Sakti (Grace);
Si for Siva, Va for Sakti, Ya for Jiva,
Na for Tirodayi and Ma for Maya (impure);
Thus the Five Letters, five relations denote;
As you chant with Si first (that is as Si Va Ya Na Ma)
You are of Karmas freed;
Births no more will be
You shall Para-Siva become.
2712: Siva-Jnana Comes of Si Va Ya
Rid of malas denoted by "Na" and "Ma"
And the primordial Anava too,
By the Grace of Siva-Sakti
Siva-Jnana pure will be;
Repeated chant Si Va Ya;
There verily is Truth of Mala-riddance.
2713: How Through Na Ma Si Va Ya Union in Jiva Occurs in Samadhi
Na Ma and the rest (Na Ma Si Va Ya)
Pervading Jiva in his five states of Consciousness
Waking, dreaming and the rest,
Stand forth as Tirodayi, the Sakti of Obfuscation (Verily)
And She in turn leads to the Pure Sakti that leads to Grace,
Then does Jiva reach the Final state of Turiya in Samadhi;
Thus meditating on Na Ma and the rest,
The Jiva unites in Siva.
2714: Chant Si Va Ya
The Sakti that Grace confers,
And the Lord with Her inseparate,
Together as Siva-Sakti roused Jiva to life;
When you contemplate on Si Va Ya;
Then the Maya within and the rest of Malas three are rid;
That Si Va Ya destroys the hard Karmas too.
2715: Chant Siva Siva and Receive Grace
They who chant not "Siva Siva,"
Are from ignorance freed not
Verily are they beings dumb;
Do say "Siva Siva"
Unintermittent and spontaneous,
In the depths of your heart;
They who thus chant
Are in Siva Jnana Pure;
Theirs shall be the Grace Divine.
2716: "Siva Siva" Leads to Siva State
They chant not "Siva Siva,"
Verily are they of evil Karma;
Chant "Siva Siva"
Your evil karmas per a Deva become;
Yours shall be the Siva-State too.
2717: Chant Na Ma Si Va and End Birth
Hold the letters, "Na Ma" in the tongue
Take the letters "Si Va" into your thought;
No more shall you be in existence entangled;
Your goal too shall be reached;
Ignorance will end,
And with it the whirl of births too.
7 ATI-SUKSHMA (SUPER SUBTLE) PANCHAKSHARA
2718: Bliss From Si Va Ya Siva Siva
Saying Si Va Ya Na Ma,
Center your thoughts,
All perils your vassals will be;
Let the words Si Va Ya Siva Siva
Fill your thoughts unceasing;
Conquering all perils,
Bliss there shall be.
2719: Five-Lettered Holy Word Leads to Samadhi
Penetrating the fiery Sphere of Sun
And passing beyond into the sphere of cloud-laden Meru
By the Adhara Way,
He (the yogi) there in Samadhi slumbers;
And then articulating the Holy Word
He sees the Lord
And is forever absorbed in His thought.
2720: Chant "Si" and Cross the River of Life
All that is spoken in Vedas, Vedangas and Agamas
Are in my Lord's One Letter contained
Freed of doubts,
If that One letter "Si" is consummated,
The boat of life reaches the lovely shore across.
2721: The Five Letters Unwrites Fate's Letters
Ripe they hang
The Letters Five
In Vedas ancient;
They know not the Way
To Slumber-in-Waking;
"Letters we know," they say
Witless are they;
They know not the Letter
That their Fate's Letter unwrites.

At the crest of Cosmos of galaxies vast (Paramandam)

At the crest of Cosmos

Permeating the Cosmos

There through the Cosmos vast
Does the Paran dance unceasing.
2735: He Dances in Sushumna and in Jnana that Arises in Yoga
In Yoga

There arises in rhythmic cadence
The drum-beat of Thom-Theem;

And there abides, never to leave ever after.

That we witnessed in rapture surpassing.
2787: Primal Dance

Thus say the holy ones;
None saw Him dance
That Primal Dance of yore;
When that Primal Dance they witness,
They dance indeed in the Grace
Of that Primal Sakti.

Redeeming the Celestials countless,

He danced in the luminous Lights Three,
He accepted me in His Grace.
2795: He is Tattvas and Their Goal
The Lord is the beginning of Vedas
He is beyond Nada Tattvas;
(Knowing this not,)
They sought the pleasures of this world
And in them revelled;

And their Lord too at once;
In that in separateness
He commingling stood.
2796: Dance of Bliss is Union in Siva

Witless are they;
None know the Dance of Bliss;
Having witnessed the Dance of Bliss,
The Jiva its separateness ends,
And in Divine Bliss unites.

-Thus to Jivas, gestures one hand in letter "Si;"
"Come unto me, Be united in me"

"Be in, Deva, fear not."

The hand that holds fire
Gestures the letter "Na;"
The foot on earth planted in dance
Gestures the letter "Ma;"
(Thus is the entire Five-Letter Mantra
"Si Va Ya Na Ma"

Fiery red smeared white it is;
They who see His Form
Reach the haven of Refuge.

Sakti in the Lord
Stands as Tat-Parai;

In the spreading light of space,
That swallows Immensity Vast,
My body-light merged;
Shattering Existence's land-marks, all.
2807: He as Light is Immanent in Brahma and Vishnu
In the delight of the maiden's union
Is the sparkling light of the Primal One;
Immanent in Brahma and Vishnu it was,
Yet they knew it not (and contending stood);
Then He revealed Himself to them
As Light Divine,
Flaming from earth to heaven.
2808: When Siva's Light is Reached
The Light Transcendental

In the Lights Three (within) that are mighty,
Then is Siva reached;
If His Feet there you leave not,
Long, long may you be.

As you breathe in the Yogic Way,

Spreading Her day-light brilliance,
And thus uplifted,
My thoughts in space within merged.
2811: Drink of Ambrosia in Space
Move close to Lord,

And there adore;
You may drink of Ambrosia Divine.

2813: Bliss in Sushupti and the Lord of Bliss in Turiya
In the conjunction of Mind is the Waking State,

With His hands He peeled the elephant hide,
In His hands He held the skull,
On His crest He adorned the crescent moon,

Beyond that I knew nothing;
Is He black or red?
I have not seen.
2815: Enter Within and Follow Guru's Way

Where Tattvas are, the Lord of Tattvas is;
Where Tattvas are not, the Lord of Tattvas is not;
When you know the truth of Tattva Jnana,
The Lord of Tattvas will there appear.
2818: Lord Stands in Astral Sphere of the Head
In the astral space that holds Jnana True,
Is the ambrosia that wells up from the fleshly body-mire;
With the spreading matted locks of lustrous golden hue,
With the haunting perfume of the ruddy (astral) flower, He stood.
2819: Brilliance of Lord's Light
Pearl, diamond, coral of three waters,
Gold of purest fineness and gems,
Into the brilliance of all these blended
Is the Light of Lord that in heaven is;
How else to describe that Divine Resplendence!
2820: Lord Himself Removed "I" and "He" Distinction

411 SATYA JNANANANDAM (SAT-CHIT-ANANDA)
2825: In the Seventh Void is Siva-Knowledge-Bliss
All voids as void
As all and nothing,
The three Voids below,
And the three Voids above,

And knowing not what this Void is like,
In that Supreme Bliss
Is the Tat-Para Jnanananda;
Siva-Knowledge-Bliss
In that He and I one become.
2826: Beyond Three Turiyas and the States They Lead to
In the Turiya First is Thom-Pada State,

There, the Holy Truth of Nandi, verily, is.
2827: The Fourth State of Bliss-A Blend of Six Attributes (Satya-Jnana-Ananda)
Peerless the Bliss that in Satya-Jnana is,
Incomparable is it to the light of pure gem's rays and the like;
Unto Lily Blue, Purity, Beauty, Color, Fragrance and Radiance
-These six, together blended, is
That Bliss-State of Satya-Jnana.
2828: Sakti is Sat, Para Jnana is Chit and Siva is Ananda
To speak of Sakti, Siva and Parajnana-Bliss
Thus are they:
Infinite high is Siva's Bliss (Ananda)
Manifestness (Svarupa) is Sakti (Sat);
Parajnana is that the Holy Guru to Jiva imparts (Chit);
-All three together are unto the Flower
Blended with Six attributes above (Sat-Chit-Ananda).
2829: Satya-Jnana-Bliss is Above the Three States
Unto the Blue Lily blossom that is blended
With Color, Purity, Beauty, Fragrance and Radiance,
It is,
When Jiva into Tat-Para blends;
Then is the State of Siva-Manifestness (Svarupa)
That is of the three States exalted,
And in Him arose Satya-Jnana-Ananda.
2830: Lord is in the Farthest Stretches of Thought
Think of Him as far as your thoughts stretch,
Adore Him in melting love,
Praise Him in songs melodious,
Well may you envelop Him in your heart;
Me too,
My Lord Nandi, His Grace extending,
Led to think of Him
To the farthest reaches of my thought.
2831: Sweetness of Satya-Jnana-Bliss
Milk, honey, juice of fruit
In ambrosial sweetness mixed;
Unto it is when the triple States of Turiya-is crossed,
And Jiva enters in Satya-Jnana-Ananda;
It is a sweetness that permeates
Every root of body's hair.
2832: Satya-Jnana-Ananda is Transcendental
Transcending spheres of immortal Celestials,
Transcending Cosmic Spaces,
Transcending sphere of Nada,
He stood, all by Himself-the Lord;
Sakti with coral lips, pearly teeth and dewy-cool speech,
And the unflickering Light of Parajnana
Following,
He stood (in Satya Jnana Ananda).
2833: How Jnanis Reach Satya-Jnana-Ananda
The Tattvas six times six
That in Eye-brow Center stand
In Waking State,
They left behind;
They rid themselves of Malas;
Were purified in Turiya that is Pure (Suddha);
Freed of the bondage condition (Pedda)
They became Siva;
Beyond that they ascended into
Satya-Jnana-Ananda (Truth-Knowledge-Bliss that is Sat-Chit-Ananda).
They, the Jnanis True.
2834: Svarupa (Manifestness) is in the Fourth Turiya State
Jiva having become Siva
And the triple Malas extinguished,
Ascending into the Triple Voids
In Desire and Not-desire ceased
Pass into the holy state of
Satya-Jnana-Ananda Bliss;
There in that farthest Turiya of Jiva,
The Self-illuminating Manifestness (Svarupa) is.
412 SVARUPA UDAYAM (DAWN OF MANIFESTNESS)
2835: Parsivam is Immanent in Svarupa State
The Holy Master, Parama Guru,
As Para constant pervades interminably all;
In that immanent state,
Extends His Self-illuminating Manifestness;
When Jiva the Final Turiya* State attains.
2836: Parasivam is Pervasive
In that primordial Flood of Waters
(At the time of Dissolution)
As Waters of the earth, the tempestuous Winds
The Fire, the Sky and Earth
He interminably extended in Space;
I know not how to limit Him
And thus adore Him.
2837: Parasiva is Immanent in All Gods
As thus He stood,
The Gods Brahma, Vishnu and others
Who wherever stood
Praise Him as Lord Supreme;
In them all He immanent stood, my peerless Lord,
And beyond them too, He stood,
He, the Lord of Worlds all.
2838: When Jnana Supreme is Attained
Knowing not the foot-prints of Faith's Way,
They the eight causal sins of greed, lust and others commit;
They are egoity possessed;
They who transcend these,
And Jnana attain,
Verily become Lord of Immortals in High Heavens.
2839: Svarupa Siva is of the Triple Turiyas and Beyond
The three gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra
Are of the Primal One;
Yet is He from them separate;
Unto it, the Lord stands
In the Turiyas triple-
Jiva, Para and Siva
(One and yet separate,)
Thus say the scriptures sacred.
2840: Unless Lord Himself Reveals as Guru, He is Beyond Reach
Form He has none,
Yet Form He assumes;
Birth He has none;
Yet is He the seed of all births;
Beyond Formlessness, too, He is,
The elusive Lord;
Unless Himself as Holy Guru reveals
None, Him reach.
2841: Meditation on God's Manifestness
They who meditate on His Svarupa,
See Him as the light within;
They who meditate on His Svarupa,
Will Timeless Eternity attain;
They who meditate on His Svarupa,
Will with Celestials be;
Yet who does seek His Svarupa true
In the world here below?
2842: Behold Transcendental Light (Param Jyoti)
As I clung to the Lord that is Transcendental Light,
The Transcendental Light in me entered and remained;
And as I sank and sank into the Transcendental Light,
I beheld the Transcendental Light,
Himself aloud proclaiming.
2843: Dawn of Svarupa Bliss in Satya-Jnana-Ananda
Manifestness, Form, Attributes and Past
-All absorbed,
Satya-Jnana-Ananda arises (Truth-Knowledge-Bliss)
With the six attributes blending; (flower, purity, beauty, color, fragrance and radiance)
Unto it, arises the Bliss of Holy Guru
Of self-illumined Manifestness,
In whom the Four* Saktis absorbed are.
2844: Acting on Adi Sakti Svarupa Siva is Aum
He is Bliss beyond speech
He is Silentness
He the Self-illumined Manifestness;
When He acts on Adi Sakti,
He becomes the letters A, U and M;
And thus as Aum defying description,
He shines as the Light within.
2845: He Stands Concealed in Kalas of Sakti
In the valleys within the cranium I stood,
Adoring Him in penance devout;
And there I discovered Him, the Thief,
With Sakti standing in Kalas concealed;
Discovering Him, I ended my birth's cycle.
2846: Knowledge of the Way of Becoming
I knew the Way of Becoming,
I knew the Way of Seeking the Rare One,
I knew the Way of Entrance to Him;
No more the egoity,
None other the locale
The Primal One I become,
He and I one will be.
13 FATE
2847: Understand Fate's Working; Jnanis are not Thwarted
What though you cut them, chop them,
And with chistle their heads hammer,
Or with cool sandal paste soften them?
All these are but by Fate, Nandi decreed,
Thus realizing they impassive remain,
They, the Holy Jnanis, that Truth perceived.
2848: The Past is Inexorable-Seek the Fair Land
Nothing there is,
Except by your past deeds come;
The heavens cannot decree otherwise;
And so by Muladhara Way
I sought the Lord within the head;
And what I did afore
Took me to the Fair Land of Bliss.
2489: Understanding Logic of Karmaic Law, I Sought Nandi
The sands the river deposits
Are by the river carried away;
To none else is that task apportioned;
(And so)
I sought Nandi
Of holy ashes and erect matted locks,
And with Him inseparate stood, devout intense.
2850: Seek Lord Always
What though the welkin thunders,
What though the seas rise and foam,
What though the fires spread and burn,
What though the tempests roar and blast,
Unconcerned I seek Lord
In devotion intense.
2851: Plough the Field of Jnana
What thought the elephant pursues,
What though the arrow pierces,
What though the wild tiger surrounds,
Deep I plough the field of Jnana
In the Other Land,
Lord has me allotted.
2852: Jnanis Are Unconcerned
If this body to harm comes
There is One to fashion another;
If a land to destruction goes,
There is another land for people to migrate;
If a house to pieces falls,
There is another house to dwell;
-Thus do their thoughts, unconcerned run,
Who Nandi's bounty know.
14 DARSHAN OF SIVA
2853: Siva Reveals in Doubt-Free Thought
Those whose thoughts inseparable in Siva merge,
In their thoughts, Siva reveals;
Those who can vision their thoughts doubt-free,
In their thoughts, Siva is.
2854: He is Subtle Beyond Thought and Speech-Seek and Find Him
Beyond speech and thought
Is hidden that Vedic Object;
Look at it;
It is an Object subtle by far;
It has no coming, nor going, no perishing;
All blessings are
For those who seek Lord true.
2855: The Unknowable Bestows Grace as Hara
As Paran, as Parparan and Beyond
As constant interminable Light Transcendental;
As Support Finite of all,
As One beyond knowledge of Self,
As Hara here below,
He, His Grace showers.
415 DARSHAN OF SIVA SVARUPA (MANIFESTNESS)
2856: Supreme Svarupa Bliss
Beyond Difference and Non-Difference
Is that inviolate Bliss;
In every hair root its ambrosial sweetness floods;
Beyond the initial Manifestness Three it is;
There indeed is the greatness vast of that Supreme Manifestness
That Vedas praise so high.
2857: He is the Fragrance in the Flower Within
He is Sentience, He is Life;
He is union, He is separation;
He is Continuity beyond thought;
He stands in the fragrance of flower within.
2858: Seek Him There Within
He who stands thus
Of Him you think;
Seek His Presence;
He ends the imperfections
Of those who seek Him;
He is the unwritten Veda immutable;
He is of Tapas great
He stands within the head;
For sure it is.
2859: He Blessed Me Saying, "You Know"
My thoughts woke up
In lightning flash within;
And as I woke up,
The self-illumined Lord, the peerless One,
Of Form golden-hued, Nandi of matted locks
Entered into me and said, "You know;"
And thus saying, in benignance
He cast His glance upon me.
2860: Brahma Turiya Beyond Triple Turiya
Satya-Jnana Bliss is He
It is Sivananda light
That surpasses Thought;
It is Pure Brahma Turiya;
It is Turiya beyond Turiya;
In it arises the Light Transcendental.
2861: Svarupa Siva Beyond Bliss of Satya-Jnana-Ananda
Paran He is not,
Nor the expanding Paraparan is He;
Nor the abiding Object Beyond;
Nor the Vibrant Light above it;
Nor the One who supports all;
He is they and not they;
Hara He is not
Beyond Bliss is He.
2862: Aim of Suddha State
Mukti, Siddhi and mature Jnana attained,
In devotion standing,
In Param standing,
In the mighty Sakti standing
They realize the Tattvas;
Then from that Suddha State
They passes to Sukhananda Bodha State.
2863: Ariya-Turiyatita Beyond; Turiyatita Beyond is Svarupa
Turiyatita is Void
That is beyond words;
When Ariya Turiyatita state still above is reached,
Jiva blossoms shimmering;
Neither folding, nor unfolding;
The Form too is altered;
How to describe it!
16 MUKTI BHEDA AND KARMA NIRVANA
(GRADATIONS OF LIBERATION)
2864: Progression of Soul's Journey to Five Muktis
Jiva reaches to (Jiva) Mukti first;
Then passes on to Param State;
And thence to Siva State;
In the Turiya practised therein,
Is the Primal Self-illumined Manifestness;
And having attained Svarupa,
Is reached the State of Nirvana.
(In Ariya Turiyatita State.)
2865: He is the Finite Goal
He is Param that is reached
By those who desire Him,
Leaving their own desire behind;
He is Lord of Fore-Head Eye
Whom the learned who have learned all,
Still learn about;
He is the Transcendental Light
Whom those who have bonds none
Surround;
He is the One,
Whom those who have reached,
Have ceased to prattle about.
17 SUNYA SAMBHASANA (DIALOGUE OF SYMBOLISM)
2866: Mystery of Lord's Play
Body the gambling board;
Five the dice;
Three the channels
Fifty-one the squares
Thus the Jivas play the game;
He who thus leads them to it,
The mystery of His play
I know not.
2867: Holy Way is Strewn With Thorns
The Holy Way is by thorny bushes covered
They know not how to remove it;
They who know how to remove it
Are they for whom my heart yearns.
2868: Kundalini Yoga
Six are the streets
In their junction are juicy palm trees four;
With ladder difficult to climb,
I ascended the palm's heights;
And there I saw the seas seven.
2869: Abnegation of Desires Leading to Liberation Through Yoga
I sowed the seed of brinjal
And the shoot of balsam-pear arose;
I dug up the dust;
And the pumpkin blossomed;
The gardner-gang prayed and ran;
Full well ripened the fruit of plantain.
2870: Sahasrara Center of Liberation
With the seed of Lord
There is a field
Where the Jiva ripens
That field they know not;
If the Grace of Blue-throated Lord there is,
Easy to enter that field
In Truth it is.
2871: Turiya State
A deep field there is one;
Waste fields two are there;
Another alien field with them lay mingled;
Those that plough the field of heart
For them the field fed with water,
Lay ripe in harvest rich.
2872: Kundalini Yoga
In the Triangular Field,
Are the Ploughs Three;
Yoke the bulls tight with rope;
Drive the ploughshare deep
They who held not their tongue,
Ploughed not in the Center
Closing their legs together,
They plough the waste in vain.
2873: Control of Breath
Two the picottahs, seven the wells;
The elder draws out, the younger waters;
If into fields the water flows not,
And into waste flows,
Verily is it unto the fowl
That the harlot rears.
2874: Tattvas-Lower and Higher
Twenty and four the cows that stray uncontrolled,
Other cows gentler are seven and five;
Well may the gentler ones a whole pot of milk give;
But Jiva has the straying uncontrolled ones alone.
2875: Yoga Way to Transcend Tattvas
Twenty and four the cows that are in calf;
Better far a pitcher of milk from cows that yield;
When you know how to milk the cows of breath (yoga)
The other cows near not.
2876*36Yogic Kecari Mudra For Liberation
In the upper storey of the house of smith
Was a bud-like mass, that unto copper (sheet) expanded;
He shaped it round, folding it in Truth
Thus the smith made it his own.
2877: Sublimate Bindu Within into Para Bindu
In the eroding seed bed
Of Sorrow's field,
Train the flowing water
And dam it tight;
Then plough with the goodly young bull,
And transplant the cucumber seedling;
That shall indeed into goodly seed ripe.
2878: Liberation only for Those who Strive
Strewing the seed,
And applying manure in baskets full,
And ploughing with yoked bulls,
And digging out the weeds,
Thus producing rice,
And cooking in vessels big,
Gently should they consume it;
This they do not;
How then do they the sweet rice crop harvest,
Lying indifferent?
2879: Attaining the Triple Turiya States
The seed for future ripened
The seed ripened over quite a stretch,
For those whom the seed ripened in stages three
The three spaces above, too, ripened.
2880: Do not Cultivate the Waste of Worldly Pleasures
Why they plough the waste, we know not,
They who plough the waste have design none,
They who plough the waste perish,
Unto the young weeds
That waste shoots.
2881: Yoga Leads to Grace
Within the shed where jackals howl,
Rouse your call;
The binding Pasas to Fire Consign;
Thus spend days continuous;
Then the goodly Lady appears
And there in the home, you shall be well.
2882: Experiences in the Mystic Sphere of Sahasrathala
On the mountain it rained,
The young deer leapt;
The rich ripe fruit from bunch above dropped;
Unto the metal on the smith's furnace,
It melted;
And over the heart, He made it flow.
2883: Control Senses
In Brahmin's home are Milk Cows Five
With none to herd them, they stray uncontrolled,
If a cowherd there is, and controlled they are,
The Five Cows will milk in abundance give.
2884: How to be Youthful
The five wild bulls of Jiva,
And the fierce lions thirty,
The two mangoes sweet,
The fradulent nine
And the mind within,
If yours they become, firm controlled,
The bull, old becomes not;
If not, they put fire to it.
2885: Immortality Through Yoga
The Truth of the Unwritten Book,
The Immaculate Virgin in clarity chanting,
The nectar of Flower, unopened until then,
Gushed forth;
As the Bee its fragrance drank,
Unborn it became.
2886: Sure Death, if Breath is not Controlled
The deceptive one that leaves,
The false seed that enters;
The Five who eat of the broth made
Of the ripe fruit of flourishing Jamun tree;
-All, all, went the burning roof's way.
2887: Body Perishes if Yoga is not Practiced
From the Bamboo Shoot arose a Margosa tree
Close on Margosa was a Palmyrah,
In that Palm is a Snake
Knowing not to drive that Snake and eat it,
The Margosa tree withered away.
2888: How the Body is
Ten the tigers big,
Ten and Five the elephants,
Five the learned
Ten the jesters,
Three that are upright
Six the physicians,
Five the lordly ones,
There they all stand.
2889: Control Breath
Two the bulls in this hamlet,
One the servant for the bulls two;
Control the bulls two, firm,
As one they will then be.
2890: The Perfect Ones Practice Yoga Daily
Level up Mind-Garden in equanimity
In devotion's net, plant the cotton tree
By salvation's rope enter the place of Three,
Daily do they ascend thus,
Who perfection filled are.
2891: The Six Evils Dwell Within and God's Warning to Them
The Owl, the Snake, the Parrot and the Cat,
The Mynah and the Quail
They, all, within dwell;
As the Owl nears the Mynah
The Mouse warns Mynah, screeching loud.
2892: Kundalini Yoga Alone Drives Away Triple Pasas
In the toddy measure* of foul smell
That a derisive laugh draws and (senses) to shambles sends,
He placed the white rats three;
If on the fire* placed, they run;
Else they remain;
Of flesh-born,
How will they ever go?
2893: Libertion Possible Only By Renunciation
They enter the Forest dense,
No more will they see the Sky above,
The Five Steeds together entered,
The Six Camels were closed up, entire;
If they leave the Forest dense,
The Three will near come.
2894: Worldly Desires Lead to Perdition
Food, raiment and phialled unguents,
Necklace, waistband and bangles lovely,
They who (as goal) saw,
Fly away
Unto a garment piece on a high rock laid,
Into the deep pit of six sins they fall
And there immersed are.
2895: Kundalini Removes Obstacles to Reach Sahasrathala
Beyond the Islet beyond to the Mountain on the Bank
They daily thrice journeyed,
To superintend the Field there,
She there is, who moves the Mountain obstacle within stands;
Her place we know not.
2896: Kundalini Unites in Siva
The Kite and Parrot together beat the drum loud
The Shapely Lady her wedding celebrated,
The Form of the holy Element she attained,
In that state, rapturous She remained.
2897: Goal of Jiva is to Seek Liberation
The mating Bird pecked at food
And approaching its partner fed it
Unto it easy is the Goal to reach
For those who eat of Ghee in the melting Fire within
And away the Darkness drive.
2898: Mystic Flower Within
Leaves none, bees none, Flower there is;
Top none, sheath none, root there is;
Bunch none, Flower to pluck there is;
Head none to wear;
The Branch that bent withers not.
2899: The Truly Great Vision the Lord in Cranial Cavity
Visioning the Banyan tree that stands Beyond,
They adore the holy Lord and in Him unite;
Those who transcend the Five Sorrows exceeding
Are the truly great;
Low at Lord's Feet they lie;
And there they remain.
2900: Conquer Senses and Reach Siva
In the Way of Loud Call of Jiva
Is a Forest that stretches two leagues far;
Inside stand Robber that ceases and binds,
If the White Guard chases the Black thieves
And away shout them loud
Then does Jiva the Roof of Safety reach.
2901: Sweet Ambrosia and Bitter Nux Vomica Within the Body
In the tank where bloomed Kotti and Lily
Are Neem and Nux Vomica, too;
They who eat not the Salad of Plantain sweet,
With candy and honey mixed,
Lo! hanker after the fruit of nux vomica.
2902: Sakti Grants Grace to Jiva
As He-Bee and She-Bee
The Lord is seated on the throne
The multi-hued umbrella aloft canopying,
The Lowly Bee, of Pasa embodied,
Drinks of (nectar), the She-Bee by Her glance grants;
That verily is rapture surpassing.
2903: Jivas Graze in the Backwood of Worldly Desires
What to do with those cows
In the backwoods of desires graze?
Take them beyond,
And lead them to Feet of Lord;
Discipline them in ways superior;
Thus manage the herd;
Until then, their thoughts turn not
From the backwoods of worldly pleasures.
2904: Lord in Sahasrathala
In the Water Above, the Lotus blossomed,
In the Water Below, the Lily arose
To those who can see light in the Cross-beam above
The Lord is unto a cool Watermelon,
That fruits even in regions low.
2905: Attaining Liberation in Sahasrathala
Six the Birds in the house of Five,
Hundred the birds at the top of Tree,
Having ascended the Seven Steps high,
You shall sure reach the Home.
2906: Light Dawns in Sahasrathala
Within the Bathing Well,
Where they water draw
The roundly Earth swells
And Water springs;
Bind your breath and with Rope-Work
And center your thoughts;
Well may the Light Divine dawn.
2907: Reach the Holy Temple of Sahasrathala
Seven the circling Seas, eight the Mountain ranges
In the depths of Space is Fire, Rain and Wind
And the Land expansive;
Visioning it, if you dwell in it
That verily a Holy Temple is.
2908: Body Invaded by Indriyas
Embracing in warmth and pregnancy developing,
They made this body and (the couple) left;
The body-pole thus erected;
The bewitching Birds of Deep well invaded;
This way was it made, through lives successive.
2909: Lord's Love is Supreme
Two there are, the wedding drum and the wedding Thali;
Stronger than the wedding drum and thali is the crow-bar;
Stronger than the drum, thali and crow-bar
Is the love that comes of Lord's Grace.
2910: Vision Siva and Attain Golden Form
They who saw the Fish, remain looking at the fish;
They who saw the Hare, are of the Three rid;
He who controlled the battle tumultuous,
See the Hidden Truth,
His form golden becomes.
29113*6Lord is Hidden Deep Within
In the Tank where Reeds flourished,
In Creepers spread and entwined filled,
The Lord is not unto the stork that on them gently walks
Deep into the Rocky Floor, He dives
For Jiva's redemption to grant.
2912: Yoga Way to Liberation
Of three leagues is the Garden below,
Of half a league is the Forest above,
Frontiers blurring the two routes intermingled;
They who can see the Frontiers clear
Can quick cross the backyard
And reach the Hamlet safe.
2913: No More Karmas if Yoga is Attained
When after Ploughing, Seed is cast,
And copious Rains fall,
And it soaks the Land,
No more will Karmas germinate;
Sure He comes,
The Lord of flourishing matted locks.
2914: Jiva Vanquishes Indriyas by Yoga
The Tiger that leaps twelve leagues crouches,
The Billows of the Hidden Sea soft spreads,
The nectar-sweet rapturous ambrosia wells up,
Thus did Jiva surround the Five that harassed.
2915: Jiva's Journey in Yoga Sea
He boarded a boat and launched into sea,
He traded well and flourished fast;
The goodly man,
To a She-devil gave his heart,
And in spirit lost droped;
To him as a rich fruit of nectar sweet
Is that Divine Water that flows.
2916: Yoga's Triumph
In the river of Leagues Three
Are Plantain Trees Three;
Ruddy fruits of triple Malas they bore;
They who are with the Lord exceeding,
Hoisted their Flag;
And seeking the Virgin through Central Sushumna,
Inhaled the Flower's fragrance, divine sweet.
2917: Yoga Vanquishes Tattvas
There is an Athi tree with root and top,
At the tip end high is the Bamboo triple crested,
With flag and army are evil spies five times five
Destroyed they shall be,
And the Sacred Conch in victory blow.
2918: Conquer Indriyas and Reach Iruvinai-Oppu and Nalapari Pakam
Pig and Snake, Cow and Monkey
Together were in the lowly Jackal herd;
Joining them not and debasing himself not,
When, in balance, deeds good and bad are equal weighed
The Jiva, tinier than crab's-eye berry,
Its ego's diminution saw.
2919: Freedom From Fetters
Unopened a Bud there is;
Freed from Fetters,
The bud soon blossoms, that you see
Give up desires, the Tattvas perish;
Unless they be from Fetters free,
They see not the Blossom.
2920: Uniqueness of Ambrosial Flow in Cranium
Green that Land, you no water flows,
None know it ever;
The Water that flows rain devoid
Stands not in Land untilled.
2921: Jiva Becomes Siva by Kundalini Yoga
When the Owl gets to the top of Kurunda tree
And realizes desire is the source of world
Then the Snake standing in the Center teaches (Jnana)
And Jiva, Siva becomes.
2922: Iruvinai Oppu Leads to Siva
The Plantain Tree and the Surai Creeper (pepper) together covered space;
The Surai creeper is stronger by far than the Plantain tree, they say;
Cutting down the Plantain tree and Surai creeper together,
The Plantain extending flourishes sure.
2923: Give up Worldly Pursuits and Practice Yoga
Digging not the Earth,
The upland Kurava sails seas
And catches fatty fish;
Let him give it up;
(Rather let him the Earth dig)
There is a way of a Rich Catch,
That is Wealth and Food for all.
2924: Reach Nada by Yoga and Attain Status of God
In the House of Goldsmith a Child flourishes,
A Conch of Call there is;
Blow it and call the Lord in Joy;
To the Potter and the Titled Minister alike
Are granted the high state;
That do you seek.
2925: Indriyas Obstruct the Yoga Journey
The Temple buffalo left the Shed,
It saw the Army and half-way turned;
The Chief held counsel with Minister,
The Citizens closed the Gates,
Five and Four.
2926: The Lord Drives in the Tattvas into the Infant Body
The eight constituents of Body Subtle
That ultimate leave,
The eight and ten Tattvas that sneak in,
With Purusha in them immersed,
The orifices nine,
The Kundalini that serpent-like coils,
The life breath twelve finger-measure (angula) long,
-If these, the Divine Charioteer drives not in,
Verily may the infant less than human be (say, pig).
2927: Pasa Disappears With Guru's Guidance
In the Lagoon that is Moss covered,
Gently walking, the Shy Heron feeds;
When the Marching Warrior's guidance got,
Pasa, to ground laid, fluttered away.
2928: Siva Draws Jiva Unto Himself
On the Peaked Mountain is a Summit High,
Beyond the Summit blows a Gusty Wind;
There blossomed a Flower that its fragrance spread
Within that Flower, a Bee its Nectar imbibed,
There the Lord unto Himself Jiva draws.
2929: Arouse Kundalini to Reach Cranium
Lute and Flute, their melody intermingling,
Siva marched ahead in Cranium within;
Even before the Bargain was struck,
The Land was up there for Him to possess.
2930: Reaching the Moon Sphere-A Mystic Secret
The trade with the One in Ambrosia
None know about,
But those who the Secret Cavern entered;
They know not,
When the Moon rises
No more darkness will be;
Some did reach there and remained ever,
They truly, are the holy beings devout.
2931: Dawn of Jnana in Sahasrathala
The Day dawned, a golden hue it took,
On the banks high, the Mastwood shed its golden pollen;
Thus it is where the Holy Lord abides;
That Sphere the Damsel reached and remained.
2932: Properly Guided Jiva Reaches the Finite State
The tribes of Indriyas to Jiva belong
Each at his gate with swords fight;
If constant guided,
Jiva takes the True Way to Frontier;
From that born none ever return;
From that very plane shall he transcend,
The Five-States-Beyond.
2933: Body No More Counts When Jiva-Siva Union is Effected
When in the Garden,
The Fruit of Mango, ripened, dropped,
What matters if Jackals outside howl?
When the Primal One was by Kundalini Fire reached,
The fleshly body that led to it,
Forever left.
2934: Dawn of Jnana Eternal Day-Light
"Dawn is it"-thus shrilled the Birds,
"Dawn is it"-thus, the flower-like Damsel
Separation fearing, bewailed;
With Her in eternal union the Lord joyed;
And for Jiva no more the dawn
No more the separation.
2935: When Pasas Leave Jiva Unites in Siva
A Boat there is in the River Ghat
The Five plant their feet and row;
Thus on the river route they trade;
If in the midst the Rudder wobbles,
That becomes This.
(No more the world trade.)
18 MAUNA SAMADHI (TRANSCENDENTAL SILENTNESS)
2936: Through Samadhi Being Within is Reached
They stood, they sat, they lay
-Thus their state can be described not;
Their thought is in Samadhi's Silentness;
There is a Being Hidden;
They who reach it (Samadhi),
Have reached Him indeed.
2937: Guru Alone Can Show the Way
He is beyond the Signs and Mudras
He is the Cause;
What avails describing Him in Books?
All those are unto excrescence growth on Sheep's neck;
-Unless the Guru himself leads you to Him.
2938: Know the Finite Truth
They that the Truth know, see worlds all,
They that the Truth know, have sorrows none,
When they that the Truth thus saw
They indeed have seen the Truth Finite.
2939: Siva and Sakti are in Samadhi Union
Even in my forgetfulness He stands,
He is Lord of Maya-Land,
He is of Compassion vast,
He ended my birth,
He is of qualities great;
Himself and His Holy Sakti
Sleep in sleepless union.
2940: Lord is Beyond Turiyatita
He is the Light Transcendental*
That shines beyond Turiyas Three,
In the Turiyatita that transcends them,
Beyond waking, dreaming sushupti states;
In that state, defying thought and speech.
2941: Attributes of Siva
Formless is He,
Bodyless is He,
Blemishless is He,
Richless is He,
Harmless is He,
Celestial of celestials is He,
Contentionless is He,
Bhoota-army possessed is He,
Attachmentless is He,
He entered my thoughts.
2942: Bliss of Devotees is Beyond Description
None have seen Him and known Him,
He, the Nandi, within the body is;
All, in directions eight,
Praise Him as Lord;
The unending bliss of His devotees many;
Surpasses universes vast
-How much they joyed Him, little do we know!
2943: Felicity of Union of Jiva and Siva
Tat-Para His is not,
Sadasiva He is not,
Formless is He,
Formed is He not,
Wondrous indeed unto felicity of sex-union enjoyed
Imagination baffling,
He in me in union stood.
2944: Divine Felicity Beyond Words
Thou fools who see with fleshly eyes
Know! To see with inner eye is bliss true;
How can mother tell the daughter
Of the felicity in the union with her husband?
In what terms will she that describe?
2945: Transcendental Union Beyond Word and Speech
As salt in water, in Lord I mixed,
Transcending Param and Paraparam states,
Beyond word and speech I in union merged;
"How was It?"-you ask
"It was It"-I say.
2946: Deceptive Ways of World
Lovely to look at is the fruit of nux-vomica,
Only those who eat know its taste (bitter)
When virgin matures and full woman becomes,
Only then will husband know her qualtities diverse.
2947: Jiva Light Merges in Siva Light
Nandi He was, in Street-Center (of Sahasrara),
Samadhi and other ways of union, of themselves went
Into the Light, within navel center rises,
By my Jnana, I merged.
2948: Merging into Void
Undistracted, I sit aloof and meditate,
Doubt-free, I follow the ancient Vedas,
I cross the awesome waste, this life is,
And beyond into the Void, that defies imagination,
I merge.
2949: The Celestials Seek Him Not
His Holy Feet bedecked in unfading blooms
The Celestials seek not;
To the Holy Way they take not;
To the radiance of the lovely lotus within,
They penetrate not,
They seek not to drink of the Divine Ambrosia.
2950: Lord's Gushing Love
When for purposeful union the lovers sit and talk
Of a sudden gushes their passion;
When the Lord of fragrant Konrai flower beholds
Those who determined sit to meet Him,
He His Grace unhesitating grants.
2951: Nature of Union in God
Myself perishing, my wealth perishing,
Body perishing and life perishing,
Heaven perishing and mind perishing,
My ego perishing
-This I knew not (is union in God).
2952: Merging into Finite Reality
Darkness and Space I transcended,
As substance into Substance I merged,
To the Feet of Lord in Grace abounding,
Firm as rock immovable
My thoughts entire went.
2953: Transcendental Awareness
Meditating in oneness, I visioned Paraparam,
Meditating in oneness, I realized Siva-State
Meditating in oneness, I experienced Awareness Transcendental
Meditating in oneness, I witnessed aeons upon aeons.
19 GREATNESS OF LIMITLESSNESS BEYOND
2954: State of Oneness in God
When you have, yourself, limitless become,
Who, in limit, are you to see?
When you have, yourself, He become,
Who are you to think of?
The Eyes that vanquished the God of Love,
Whom are they in longing to look for?
-Tell me, yourself, the real Truth.
2955: Thoughts Stand Still in the Beyond
You dumb ones!
They seek to speak,
Of the One beyond speech!
Can you ever reach the shores
Of the Shoreless Vast?
For them whose thoughts stand still,
Unto the waveless waters,
Unreserved He appears;
He of the matted locks.
2956: Maya Creates No Illusions There
Maya is but mind's work,
It creates the illusions;
When the mind's illusion disappears,
Nothing there left to worry about;
Death will not there be;
Chatter no more;
To seek the Self is Truth Divine.
20 GREATNESS OF THE REALIZED
2957: The Realized Souls Have No Possessions
Mala none; impurity none; pride and prejudice none;
Family none, excellences none; affluence none;
For them who in wisdom
Plant themselves in Nandi
-Firm in His love.
2958: They Become God
Ended the birth; sundered the bonds;
God and I one became;
No more for me the way of rebirth;
I have met Siva the Auspicious.
2959: They Want Nothing
Cane of sugar, rice of fineness, garments of richness
And water of green glades too,
Our Land possesses;
By the Grace of lovely Lady,
That is peacock shaped,
Nothing we want, nothing, indeed.
2960: They are Inseparable in God
None can intimidate me hereafter,
The Lord came and entered my thoughts,
There will I sport and wander in joy;
No more will I with anyone else be.
2961: How They Hastened to the City of God
I freed myself of fetters
The Creator bound me with,
I learned the way of reaching Siva;
I smote Karmas with the sharp sword of mind,
I stood ego lost;
And now I hasten toward the City of God.
2962: Sweetness of Namasivaya Fruit
One the God for worlds all,
One is He, the life of worlds all,
Lovely indeed is Namasivaya Fruit,
Sweet it is to them
Who of it tasted.
2963: Doubt-Free State of the God Realized
The Lord who wears moon and serpent on His matted hair,
He, the jewelled lamp
That accepted me in His service,
The Being Rare,
Neither beginning nor end has,
He entered my thoughts and made me doubt-free.
2964: Their Thought-Free State
Brahma and Vishnu, of yore,
Our Lord created;
And There He remains ever,
None know why;
If renouncing all,
Jiva There appears,
And empties its thoughts,
No more birth in carnal body will be.
2965: Siva-Sakti-Jiva Union
Unless the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother love me,
How shall the worldly father and worldly mother knoweth me?
The Father, Mother and I were together seated;
My Father and Mother, I adoring.
2966: Prowess of Redeemed State
The seas vast,
The mountain peaks high,
The denizens of the universe,
And those who hold their sway there,
The Primal Sakti,
And the people in directions eight
-All, all, came within my grasp;
Redeemed am I, high above all.
2967: He is the Totality
Himself as space and Celestials stands,
Himself as body, life and matter stands,
Himself as sea, hill and dale stands,
Himself-all worlds' Lord Supreme.
2968: Their Thought Power
If God of Death comes,
I shall smite him with Sword of Jnana,
If Siva comes,
I am sure to go with Him;
Long back had I sundered Karma,
To birth leads;
Who can stand against Thought,
Of intense devotion born?
2969: They are in Nada and Bindu
Their thoughts are Siva-filled;
They have destroyed Malas three
Suddha Siva they have become;
To Mala's bondage they return not;
Shouts, confusion and fights (of this world),
They indulge not in;
Immersed are they in Nada and Para Bindu.
2970: Long They Live
They who cognize
Neither remembering nor forgetting,
In their thoughts,
The Pure One,who uproots Karmas,
Stand;
Seeking the Pure One,
Who uproots Karmas
They who think of Him, long long live.
2971: Siva Appears as a Tapasvin
"O! Siva, my Great Lord"-thus I hailed Him;
And as a tapasvin the Holy Lord was before me;
He the Desired Lord, who accepted me in His service
Him I stood adoring, the Lord Eternal.
2972: Meek and Intense Prayer Leads to Siva
Him I adored, the Param, the Primal Lord,
Determined I stood, nothing else I seek;
In my body I held Him in union, the First One;
Meek in prayer I stood and I saw my Siva's Being.
2973: In the Presence of Siva
The Lord filled my thoughts,
His Feet I beseeched;
As I thus entered His Presence,
He ended my birth's whirl;
-He the Lord that has Thoughts none;
My Fate He fragmented,
My bonds He sundered.
2974: He Resolved My Contradictions
My contradictions He resolved;
Disease, age and life's reckoning He ended;
Thus He accepted me in His service,
He my Nandi;
My contradictions resolved,
My life's sorrows, I laid low;
And Siva, of Himself appeared.
2975: How Siva Entered in Me
Siva with His Celestial retinue entered in me;
He severed my bonds to births give rises;
He is my Father,
He the Primal Lord that in His service accepted me;
Into Grace my heart entered;
And there, imprisoned, remained.
2976: Bodily Pleasures Ceased to Interest
In this body of pleasures
Unto sugarcane and honey mixed,
Sprouted the Fragrance of Siva Bliss;
In eagerness my heart sought it
And I visioned the Void;
Then did the cane taste bitter
And honey sour.
2977: All My Doings Became Siva's
Having pursued the ways of Chariya and the rest,
And having received the Bounteous Being's Grace,
I stand praising Him ever;
All that I do,
I see as of Siva's doings;
With no more Karma left,
I crossed the sea of births.
2978: Egoity Died and Siva Appeared
Into the thousand petalled lotus (in Sahasrathala),
The Kundalini fire shot up fierce;
And as with the fat of my heart's love, I made it blaze,
She the Sakti appeared,
She the Jewel of worlds all;
The one, he died, my Egoity
And the One, He appeared, my Siva.
2979: Siva-Sakti in the Cranium Sphere
The Six streams (of Adharas)
Into one lake flow;
Thus in Way subtle
Into Siva-State penetrate;
There indeed is the Precious Truth,
Himself with Sakti stands,
-She of bouncing breasts and tender vine form.
2980: Intense Devotion
My heart melting, I moan and rave,
My bones melting, I adore day and night,
My gold, my Guru, my Lord, my God,
Him I eat, bite and chew.
2981: Mind Blossomed into Mukti
The mind blossomed and converged in tapas great;
The mind blossomed and converged in yoga breath;
The mind blossomed and converged for the Jiva;
When the mind blosso- beyond words to describe,
Then is Mukti Finale.
21 LAUDATION
2982: Lord is in Body Land
Mounting the Chariot of Mind
They seek the Divine Juggler;
Knowing not whether He went,
They bewail;
Wandering in lands and kingdoms far and near,
I saw Him in this fleeting Body-Land.
2983: Glorious Reward of Prayer
Who were they,
Unto mountain on kingly elephant sat,
And to sweet music accompanying, in procession went?
Of yore, they chanted the Primal Lord's name in fervor
And so attained the status exalted.
2984: I See not My Father
The Pearl of pearls,
The Lovely Sun rising at dawn,
The Lord whom all Celestials adore,
My Father;
I see not and rave;
A mad man, they think, I am.
2985: He Entered in Me
He entered in me,
He our Holy Lord,
He entered in me,
He the Lord of Jnana's Flower,
He entered in the hearts of His devotees,
Him I adore, who entered in me.
2986: He is Seen in the Mind-Mirror
He appears not in the glasses of the fleshly eye;
He is in the Lotus of the Heart;
He appears in the glass of Vedic Jnana;
He is in the mind-glass of the righteous that think of Him,
Him I saw in the glass of songs
Listening to that Divine Music,
I enraptured stand.
2987: Chant "Aum" Incessantly
Chant, the Lord's name, a thousand times,
A thousand blessings shall yours be;
They who chant the lovely "Aum" a thousand times,
Are rid of a thousand thousand passions, away.
2988: Ajapa
I praise, I laud
Jnana that is our Refuge;
I adore Holy Feet of Lord,
Constant in my thought;
I expound Siva Yoga;
Hearken you!
I chant the One Letter (Aum),
Dear to our Lord.
2989: Practise Yoga
In ways diverse, do seek Nandi;
Penetrating the Lotus within and going beyond,
You shall reach the Celestial world,
Having drunk of the nectar there, you shall return;
Sweet, sweet exceeding indeed, it is.
2990: Devotees More Rewarded Than Celestials
He came and stood before His devotees,
He the Rare Truth;
Even if the Celestials and their King Indra ask
What will they get, but the music of lovely damsels?
But that which devotees get is beyond all their heaven.
2991: Still Your Thoughts and Be Purified
Unto muddied water these men's minds are,
Unclear in vision,
They see not and say, "This is Lord;"
From the heart's lake within,
Draw a pitcherful,
And keep it in stillness apart;
When you thus purify it,
You shall become Siva.
2992: Yearn For Him
He of the Penance Pure;
Transparent as amla fruit
On palm of those who yearn for Him;
He the Pure One,
Whom Celestials seek in ways righteous;
Him, my Lord, I sought;
And thus ever remained.
2993: The Bounteous One
Thus remaining,
Limitless Jnana I attained;
No more wavering there is;
And as I reach the Holy One,
In the Land where Kundalini Fire burns,
The Bounteous One,
His choicest blessings gives.
2994: He Hides in the Heart
The Bounteous Lord,
The Monarch of Heavenly Kingdom
The Lord of matted locks,
That carried Ganga waters flowing,
The Primal One of Vedas,
Lest them devoid of faith see Him,
He hides in the heart within.
2995: Divine Knight-Errant That Severs Karmas
Unto me my God stretched His Flower-Feet in Grace
They, who adore Him daily in goodness, flourish;
He is the Divine Knight;
He severs my evil stars and Karmas,
Into His Sword of Jnana, my thoughts centered;
And no more cares I possess.
2996: Seek His Feet
Seek His Feet,
They are the Valhalla warriors reach;
Do reach His Feet,
They are the haven of blessed deeds;
Do attain His Feet,
They are the confluence of holy waters;
Thus it is,
For those who constant adore His Feet.
2997: Attain Jnana
In this world,
He pierced the overhanging Darkness of Ignorance;
Himself He has home none;
He is the Holy Preceptor of peerless grandeur;
I ate of the ripe fruit of His Jnana,
And I held on to the sweet Light within.
2998: Goal Ultima
That indeed is State Exalted,
That indeed is where Celestials have abode,
That indeed is where Ganga too flows,
Sacred it is;
It is the State that severs,
Roots of Karmic desires
That of yore come;
It is the Goal Ultima,
Devoutly to be sought for.
2999: How Lord is Seated
The Celestials stand above,
Below them are Tapasvins great;
Below them are humans, by sorrow harassed;
Thus is He seated;
And the bilva garland fresh from forest,
Festoons the fragrant matted locks,
He does for Jiva what is appropriate.
3000: He is in Five-Lettered Mantra
He quaffed poison from oceans arose,
He pervades worlds seven times two,
Birthless is He the Lord,
He is seated where the Lute, the Spring and Forest are,
He is the King that reigns
In Five-Lettered mantra, Eternal.
3001: He is Pervasive in All Elements
Unto Life is He,
Unto Earth is He,
Unto Wind, Sun, Fire and Moon is He,
Unto Water is He,
Unto recurring Dissolution and Creation is He,
He the Lord of Gods in cardinal directions eight,
He the Primal One.
3002: He Confers Blessings According to Degree of Jnana Attainment
In Fire and Sun He pervades,
In Wind He pervades,
In Moon He pervades,
Pervading all,
He gifts the Land True
To their Jnana according.
3003: He is the Object Mighty
Transcending all,
Yet immanent in each,
He stands;
For the world here below in Pasa bound
He is the Object Mighty;
Himself the Parapara Supreme,
For all worlds He gave;
That the Way His Greatness extends.
3004: His Cosmic Existence
His Crown is aloft pearl-like universes vast,
His Form engrosses seven worlds all,
His Feet descend deep unto nether world;
The ignorant know these not,
And delight not.
3005: Primal Lord is Everywhere-Above, Middle and Below
The Primal Lord is Our Lord,
He is the Light Resplendent of Spaces Vast,
He is the Lights Three-Sun, Moon and Fire;
The Primal Lord is beyond universes all,
He is below them and between them too.
3006: Lord Seeks Those Who Seek Him
Great is He, rising above macrocosm vast,
Subtle is He, within the fleshly body to births an heir,
As His devotees see the vision of His Holy Feet,
And walk toward Him,
He goes seeking them,
On their way.
3007: He Created All
All worlds by vast oceans girt
He, my Lord, filled pervasive;
In omniscience over-seeing all;
Of yore He created, all, entire,
And stood diffusing His golden hue,
In worlds everywhere.
3008: He Protects All
Through successive aeons several,
He stood as Paraparan Supreme;
All worlds He stood protecting
And this world too, as Paraparan Supreme;
This they know not;
He stood pervading the Jivas too,
Immanent in them and transcending them.
3009: He Pervades as Prana Breath
He is the Mighty God to adore,
None beside Him are;
He is the Sense, the Feel, the Sound, and Sound's End;
He is the Body, too, of Jiva,
As Prana breath,
He the Lord is immanent in all.
3010: All Emanate From Him Alone
If directions cardinal are all of Siva,
Why speak of someone else, O! you men!
All smoke from Fire emanates,
All creation from our Primal Lord arises.
3011: The Pervasive Siva is Here as Well
The infinite spaces of the Seven worlds
He filled in oneness, expanding limitless;
Yet is He not easy of reach;
Siva Himself into myriad Jivas pervaded
In this world as well, He our Lord.
3012: He is Transcendental and Immanent
Beyond the Kalas Three He stands,
Seek Him;
He is the Lord;
He is the Master of Tattvas,
Priceless is He;
Peerless is He;
Beyond Celestials all is He;
Ageless is He;
Yet is He within you,
You but seek Him.
3013: He Redeems Jiva in Love
He severed Pasas
Of this world Brahma created;
He severed belittling desires
Vishnu to Jiva gives;
He severed Karmas interminable,
In His infinite divinity;
Thus me, the lowly, He redeemed,
And in endearment exceeding held me to Him.
3014: He Spreads Like Flower's Fragrance
The Lord is the Light that moves directions eight;
He is the source of all Sound;
He is the eternal;
As on one land,
The nine universes He pervaded;
Unto the flower's fragrance,
He spread everywhere.
3015: He is Interminal Light Beyond Words
He is and He is not; my Lord;
Break your stony heart and there He is;
Ancient is He, Pure is He, Constant is He, Pure Gem is He;
He is Light beyond speech
Interminable is he.
3016: He is Bounteous
Within heart is He,
Without, too, He says, "I am;"
The inscrutable Lord;
Nandi of fragrant matted locks;
Those who adore Him constant
Their sea of birth He severs;
He, of Bounteous Magnificence.
3017: He Transforms Celestial Beings
The Devas and Danavas* conflicting
Alike adore Him and daily seek Him;
They yearn for Him,
Within their heart and without;
He transforms them into Beings different,
He, the Lamp of Divine Light.
3018: He is Endless Bliss
He appears not in heavenly space,
Yet Form He has;
He is not visible to naked eye,
Yet is He visible to inner eye;
He is the fruit of music;
He is the goodly One;
He is the fruit of all good deeds;
Endless Bliss is He,
He our Lord.
3019: None Knows Him Full Well
The Noble One is He,
A Sea of Joy beloved by all,
He is the Radiance of Pearl pure,
He is Dark-blue Throated,
Him they contemplate over time immeasurable,
The Siddhas holy and Celestials exalted,
Yet full well they know Him not.
3020: Adore Lord
Many are the hues, so is the Lord,
Many are the goodly deeds, so is the pleasure;
Many are the vile deeds, so are the iniquities
They see all these,
Yet they adore not the Lord.
3021: Lord is Benevolent Like Rain
Here He is, there He is, everywhere He is,
In all worlds He is, the Holy Lord;
In darkness He is, Light He is;
In sun He is, in moon He is, everywhere He is;
Benevolent is Lord,
Unto the rain that falls.
3022: He is Cosmic Awareness
He is Sentience, He is Gracious
Wisdom subtle is to know Our Lord;
He is embrace, He is union
In divine awareness,
He stood as Body Cosmic.
3023: His Supreme Might
By His Might He supports worlds seven,
By His Might He is sublter than atom,
By His Might He surpasses
The eight mountain ranges in directions eight,
By His Might, the oceans roar.
3024: Lord Appears in Prayer and Penance
My Lord is of infinite greatness,
Yet is He within the littleness of this fleshly body;
Beyond the ken of Celestials is He;
Yet in prayer and penance
He Himself shall appear to you.
3025: Fruit of Jnana
The shoot of tiny banyan seed,
As a mighty tree within foul body grew,
And rich ripe fruit it bore;
They who ate, forever remained to be;
The fools who did not,
Remained in body,
Tossed about from birth to birth.
22 THE ALL-PERVASIVE
3026: When Jiva Unites in Siva
Siva Bhoga there will be;
Unto it will be added a Light
That suffuses sentient knowledge;
The body by Mayaic experience harassed,
Will yours be, controlled full;
The Jiva's pervasiveness
Will everywhere spread.
3027: Omniscience and Omnipresence in Siva-Jiva Union
There is no one place where I can seek
That Object I have known;
Taking to the astral way,
There as Perfection, will it appear;
Seeking within the body,
There a Living Light will it be;
You then becomes omniscient and omnipresent.
3028: Seek Inner Light and Be One in Lord
In the sea-girt world filled with sorrows,
Seek Inner Light in life here led,
The Lord resides within this body,
May you meet Him ever,
On the waves of Seas High.
3029: His Infinite Compassion For Jiva
He is the Light within the Lights Three-
Sun, Moon and Fire;
He is their Body too
He the Lord of Celestials;
Yet leaving luminosities,
He follows Jivas in expanses vast
In compassion great;
He the One as several proliferates.
3030: Jiva Becomes a Flaming Light
Entangled in crusted Karma;
That with their birth came;
They in the end realized Him,
And golden became;
He is the Spark within the spark of light,
The Being Divine,
If you reach Him,
A flaming Light you shall be.
3031: He is the Spark of Jnana in Ajna
He is the Divine Spark
Inside desires stands;
He is the Divine Spark,
Into the Three Lights-Sun, Moon and Fire-waxes,
He is the Divine Spark,
In the Fore-head Center as our Thought seated,
The Tapasvins great, too, unto Him stand.
3032: His is the Voice that Voices All
He is the Lord,
He is all in directions ten,
He is the seven expansive sea-girt worlds too,
Thus pervading,
He is the Speaker that speaks all.
(Thus the Jiva Siva Becomes.)
3033: He Has No Entry, Exit and Stay
He is unto the Garuda Bird, that in an instant sees all;
He protects the seven worlds entire,
He removes my Karmas,
He, the Pure One, the Birthless One,
He has Going, Coming and Mingling none.
3034: He Pervades All Worlds Alike

The Bounteous One, all Jnana gives;
In the precious wisdom of Vedic sages
Diverse He stands,
Comprehending all.
3037: He is Light in the Eye of Jivas
He is Heavenly Being
He is beyond the worlds seven;
He is this earth too;
He is cool unto seven ocean waters
That this globe girdles;
He stands in Jivas united,
As Light in their eye.
3038: His Limitless Expansiveness
He stood as Brahma and Vishnu,
He stood as heaven and earth,
He stood stretching
To the farthest mountains and seas seven,
He stood as Ripe Rich Fruit too.
3039: He is Jiva and Master of Jiva
He is Lord of Worlds,
The Holy One, my Father,
He is Master Mahout,
Of Jivas all,
He is Jivas themselves too,
He is the Lord,
Whom all in endearment hold.
3040: He is the Spark of Life and Thought Within
He is Spark of Prana-breath within,
He is the Luminous Sun in firmament high,
He is the Breath of Wind that blows on land,
He is the Thought within all.
3041: He Effected Union With Jiva
In the orderly way of numerals and letters
The Lord created music and melody;
In His Glance, in His Thought, from within,
He effected rapturous union of Jiva and Siva,
Into one Family united.
3042: He is the Center of All
The cardinal directions eight,
The worlds above and worlds below,
In Him centering stood;
Thus, immanent in all, He pervaded all;
He of the flowing matted locks,
Bedecked with fragrant Konrai blooms.
3043: He is One and Many
The Lord is with creation all
None know His coming and going,
He is distant, He is near;
He is constant, He is Sankara,
He is the Primal Being;
Multiple He is, One He is,
He Our Primal Lord.
3044: He Knows All; But None Knows Him
He is Jiva's knowledge,
He is the Ancient One,
Yet none know how He is;
In the universes eight all,
He knows all,
-He the Nandi, Our Lord Primal.
3045: He is Deathless
Water, earth, sky, fire and wind,
The spark of light within the body,
-All these He is;
He is Paraparam, He is Siva, Our Lord,
He is the walking Jiva here below,
Deathless He is.
3046: Tirumular's Songs, Mantras and Instructions Have But One Import
The Three Times Thousand that Mula composed,
The Three Times Hundred Mantras that Mula chanted,
The Three Times Ten Instructions that Mula gave,
These Three that Mula said
Are all, all, of one import.
TANTRA NINE ENDS
