And Lo! within the lotus of my heart,

They with Him united stood. 994: Six Letters Aum are the Six Faiths and Savitri Mantra
The Six Letters are the Six religions,
The Six Letters multiplied by four,

Have no more the birth-travail. 995: Umapathi Chakra

Camphor, eagle wood fragrant and the rest
Mix in water of rose and make a paste
Then put it on (Chakra) and worship. 1005: Offer Oblations

Spread incense of fragrant wood
And lighted camphor in directions all,
Forget your worldly worries, and meditate,
You shall attain rapturous Mukti true. 1006: Results of Worship
Worshipping thus, there is nothing that you cannot attain,
Worshipping thus, you shall come by Indra's wealth
Worshipping thus, you shall attain miraculous Siddhi powers,
Worshipping thus, you shall attain Mukti. 1007: Constant Worship in Mansion of Mind
Even when other men's wives approach them,
They touch them not,
They have mastered passions all,
Their mind is preoccupied perpetually
With offer of oblation diverse,
They worship prostrating low,
Constant chanting Mantra
Thus in the Mansion of Mind they abide. 1008: Kriya is Not Sought by Bhaktas, Yogis and Jnanis
They who have been received by Lord in His Grace
Seek not Kriya Way;
They who desire not to accumulate Karma,
Seek not to perform Kriyas;
They who are Siva Yogins great
They too seek not Kriyas;
They who are in loving devotion surpassing stand
They too seek not Kriyas. 1009: Seek God the Jnana Way
They know not to reach Him by Jnana Divine;
They seek Him by ways of senses, in vain;
If within you, you constant seek Him in right way,
You shall indeed be in Nadanta. 1010: Jnana Dispels Heart's Darkness
Light and Darkness together are in heart;
So does it seek Grace and Ignorance at once;
The knowledge within of Jiva is bereft of Light;
Except those who have Divine Jnana attained,
The rest despair of dispelling Darkness. 1011: Jnana Alone Leads to Union in God
Yourself Himself becoming,
And Himself yourself becoming
And with two none,
And as one Siva Becoming;
(When thus it is),
Those who went the way of Kriya
If they take to Jnana,
They with Siva one become;
They who seek Kriya,
May but Devas be. 1012: Where Om and Other Letters Rise
"Om" rises from under navel
"Va" rises from throat stretched,
"Na" has its seat in forehead,
Bindu and Nada are still above placed. 1013: Be Rid of Na and Ma
Jiva has "Na" and "Ma" for its seats
Siva has "Si" and "Va" that leads you to Him
Be rid of "Na" and "Ma"
And seek Primal One;
He will be yours at once;
The State of Mauna leads to Siva Becoming
That to reach is Liberation True. 1014: Visions in the Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh and Twelth Centers
Yoga its consummation reaches
In Nectar's flow in Center Seventh;
In the Eighth is revealed the Jnana Light;
Then beyond in the Eleventh
In Paraparam the Supreme;
Then beyond, beyond is Void,
The Dvadasanda Space Infinite.

The head and face will glow in a halo of light,
On the hand, Fire will appear if so they will
The glowing body trembling and shaking

Thus said Sakti Divine. 1022: Sakti Affirms Sacredness of Sacrificial Fire
"Goodly" She said, Our Lady of esteem high;
"That the Word" (Five letter), said She,
Who radiant from head to foot in tenderness stood;
They who do not ask of Her,
Though learned unto roots of learning,
Yet are in confusion distracted. 1023: With Fire in Pit Kundalini Fire Also Shot Forth
The sacrificial pit takes the shape of

Within the sacrificial pit, that is Muladhara,
Arises the Vedic Fire that is Kundalini,
When controlled breath through Sushumna in unison flows,
The two petals in Ajna Center open;
Then with trembling hands
Folded into one they rise;
They who thus worship and vision,
Are verily Celestials of Light Divine. 1028: Lord is Light Divine

Three His feet, Seven His hands,
Two His faces, six His eyes,
Seven His tongues, four His horns
Thus does He rise from the Sacrificial Fire Pit
He the one that no end knows. 1031: But He is Endless
For the Endless One, none the Space there is;
For the Endless One, none there to take measure;
For the Endless One, none the words adequate to describe;
Know the Endless One, O! you! "Ya" (Jiva)! 1032: Sacrificial Fire Outside Kindles Kundalini Fire Inside
Decagonal, octagonal, hexagonal and square
Thus are sacrificial pits shaped,

Five His Faces
Five times Five the Tattvas He measures,
There is Sacrificial Fire Pit open,
That is of sides five;
And so it behooves,
For subtle Kundalini Fire to reach
The Lord that is in Divine Fire--Five-fold (Panchagni)
That verily is to attain Mukti. 1035: Seek Him Through Inner Fire
He is Mukti; He is Light goodly,
In the thoughts of fully learned
He is the Light fulsome;
They who seek Him, desires severed,
Through Light within
Reach the goal
And remain blemishless, ever after. 1036: Unite in Him Through Kundalini Fire

The nose shaped as letter "Ma"
The face as red lotus bloom,
The third eye in Forehead
Thus is Lord,
From Sacrificial Fire Pit arises;
Seek that Holy One within your head. 1039: As Sacrificial Fire Blazed High
Within the Fire the Holy One arose cherubic;
In middle He youthful blossomed;
As the Sacrificial Fire blazed thus,
The sphere of forehead (Ajna Center) broadened and deepened,
And there He was,
His Sakti tender as a vine. 1040: Sacrificial Fire Pervaded Macrocosm; Kundalini Fire Pervaded Microcosm
The Sacrificial Fire Pit spread
Unto Kundalini Fire across Chakras Six
And in two-petalled center (Ajna) ended;
The sacred Fire engulfed worlds seven entire,
From top to bottom unintermittent,
Those who witnessed it,
Have indeed gained all riches great. 1041: Hold Sacrificial Fire As Guru
The Fire that blazeth as riches great
Hold it as Guru Great to reach your goal,
When that Jnana dawns,
The regal powers over world
In earnest seek Jiva. 1042: Tender Kundalini Fire and Live Long7The Fire that rises and spreads everywhere
They seek not in truth and know not;
Those who have tendered it within their body,
Live long, long,
For ten million aeons, as it were. 1043: Kundalini Fire is Parallel to Sacrificial Fire
As in the nine sacrificial pits that transcend Time,
The Yogi in his Nadis raises the fire in Centers nine;
Even as the Seed of Birth trembled in fear of it,
So did the universe vast,
At the mighty yogic achievement. 1044: Shapes of Nine Sacrificial Pits
Of four sides unto Sadhanas four, (Chariya, Kriya, Yoga and Jnana)
Of three sides unto shape of fire,
Of semicircular shape unto the bent bow,
Of circular shape like a bore,
Of six sides unto Adharas within,
Of eight sides like earth's cardinal directions,
Of heart shape unto leaf of Peepul tree,
Of five sides unto letters of Siva Mantra,
Of oval shaped unto the the golden bowl
Thus of yore are shaped,
The nine Sacrificial Fire Pits,
Where you seek Lord Supreme.

The Lady of lovely tresses
Of arched eye-brows,
Her eyes are unto blue water-lily
She is ambrosial Bliss-Beauty (Ananda Sundari)
She does reveal Supreme Siva to us. 1101: How She Redeems
Having revealed Siva,
She spoke to me of blessings that follow,
She made my thoughts doubt-free
She infused joy in me,
She made the divine light shine in me,
And redeemed me too. 1102: She Assumes Manifold Forms

On the cool heights of head within stands. 1103: Adore Her and Be Liberated
She the Goodly Lady
The Supreme Mistress of tapas all,

Who by Her Glance of Grace
Dispells Mayaic darkness,
Gently stand and adore Her;
Having adored Her

She of shoulders slender as bamboo,
She of tresses laden with fragrant blossoms,
She adorns crescent moon for a jewel,
She of matted locks pure,
She holds the trident

In my heart constant stood. 1105: She Cleanses the Heart
She is Virgin
In Muladhara seated,
She is Mistress peerless,
She is Lady Supreme,
She beckoned me apart
She separated my impurities
She loved my heart,
And there She entered. 1106: She Slumbers in the Heart
From among the Nadis three,
In central Sushumna,
In threadlike slenderness,
She as Virgin Kundalini stood;
She is summum bonum of virtues all;
On Her feet She wears golden anklet,
That in rythmic music sings;
Thus She entered my heart,
And there slumbers. 1107: She Made Me Slumber No More
As I was steeped in slumber divine,
She, Manonmani, came,
And by Her be-bangled arms drew me close,
And into my mouth transferred,
Her luminous spittle of Grace
And said, "No more shall you slumber, my son."
This, the miracle She performed. 1108: She Contained Desires
She taught me the miracle,
She quelled the terrors of my heart,
She fostered love divine in me,
In the Sushumna that bathes the Moon in full light
She contained my desires and said,
"Fear not." 1109: She Consoles in Soft Speech
Of sweet speech is She;
By rare tapas reached She can be;
Of maiden innocent speech is She;

Attired in fine dresses is She;
Those who seek Her Holy Feet
Saying "You are our Refuge,"
She the Goddess
In soft speech consoles. 1110: She is Awesome

She the Virgin in my heart dwells;
In endearment eternal,
She sports in my heart;
And reaches my head;
And there she shines
With Her Kalas radiant. 1112: She Sought Siva in Mount Meru Within
He who wears the crescent moon on His head,
He who has the Third Eye in His Forehead,
In Him, She, the full-breasted Lady
In union abides,
Looking toward Him,
Who at the crest of Mount Meru within is;
The Flowery Vine, too, there stood. 1113: She United in Siva in Cranium Cavity
She dwells, the Lady Sweet, in my heart
She then entered the four-finger prana* of breath retained
And She joined Siva in union divine
And performed penance rare,
She, the Ancient One. 1114: She is Transcendental End
She is the Beginning,
She is the Beginningless,
She is the Cause
She is the Causeless

She is the Not-light
She is the Bliss that is Beauty Divine,
She is the Lady Supreme
She is Samadhi, the transcendental End
She is Manonmani, the Jewel of the Inmost Mind
She in my sentience entered,
And in my heart abided. 1115: She Dispelled Thoughts of Celestial Status
She abided there,
The bejewelled Lady in my heart,
She in endearment stood there,
Saying "Nama Siva"
She dispelled from me
All thoughts of rank and status
Brahma and the rest enjoy,
She destroyed in me
All speech from ignorance arises. 1116: She Grants Mukti to Tried Devotees
Prattling in ignorance,
They spent their lives away,
Alas! these poor men!
She, Primal One, grants Mukti
To all those
Who in constant devotion seek;
She has eyes three unto fish-shaped,
She has lips red
That warble words sweet,
Her face is compassion full,
That in Grace reveals before me. 1117: She Stands in Mind, Heart and Intellect
In my mind, in my heart, in my intellect
In all three She stood;
She stood in my head, beyond the uluva* center,
She stood within the Bounteous Lord,
She stood as Thought,
Behind Mamaya's concealed Light,
She the Virgin that all created.
*070i.e. in the Sahasrara 1118: The Virgin Bore the Five Gods
She the Virgin Eternal,
And Virgin She ceased to be not
When She made love,
And bore Children Five;
And among them is Siva too
Who Books of Truth composed!
Oh, this Maya!
Dark, dark indeed it is! 1119: Truth is Bliss

Thus She assured me. 1122: She Severs Karma
She is kindred of Jiva
She resides in the Jiva's spinal Sushumna,

She is Spouse of Lord
Whom all praise high,
She is comely one, dear to Siva
She whom I adore,
Severed my Karmas hard. 1123: She is Beginningless
She is light that shines
In those who severed their Karmas hard,
She is Truth of all those who reach Her,
She is Lady that took me into Her vassalage,
The Lord is Her Spouse
Yet Beginningless is She. 1124: She is of Kalas Twelve
She is the Beginning, She is the Beginningless
She is the Cause, She is the Uncaused
She taught Vedas to Vedic Sages.
She is abiding Light Divine,
She is the Self-Manifest Light
She that became Half of Siva's Form,
She, of Kalas twelve, Para Parai.

7 PURNA SAKTI

1125: I Measured All
I measured the limits of space,
Its beginning and end;
I measured the men and women
In spaces everywhere;
I measured the Primal Lord
Of spaces Vast;
I measured His Grace in devotion
And knew all. 1126: Meditate on Muladhara
They know this not;
That Sakti Primordial espoused Siva
And together Perfection are;
She bestows Her Grace
On Her devotees;
She, the Virgin Eternal;
Meditate on Her in Muladhara, where She is
Success indeed shall be
Your yogic feat in breath control. 1127: Indriya, Jiva, Siva and Sakti--All United
The massive elephants five (Indriyas)
The mahout with the goad (Jiva)
The Lord of many splendoured crown (Siva)
Who in the fragrant (Blossom) appears, (Sahasrara)
And the Lady who with Him is in rapturous union,
All in one love-union for ever merged. 1128: How United
In the rapture of that union
My Father enters in love subtle;
In Misery's broth of harassing Pasa,
My Mother Para Sakti
To the very marrow enters. 1129: Siva and Sakti are the Real Father and Mother
Cease talking of "my mother", "my father"
In possessive way of this world;
Your Mother and the timeless Father
Are there in union;
As your unerring guide for you Here-after;
Nandi verily stood,
As Mother and Father in one. 1130: Lady of Jnana Decides Life-Span
On the lovely lotus
That blossoms in cool waters
Is the Four-Headed God;
The years vouchsafed by Him here below
Are no more than a hundred;
The Lady of Jnana seated on blossom appeared;
She is the Mistress of Words, abiding in the tongue
Now it is Her command (how long you live). 1131: When Egoity Disappears
Untroubled by Anava ways,
Inward looking,
Steadying the wavering mind,
Centering it on high,
Thus when they realize praiseworthy Para
They and He for ever one become. 1132: She Illumines the Moon Within

Know you, where that Fawn dances! 1133: When Grace Dawns Jnana Arises
In the five senses of Mayaic knowledge,
When Grace of Sakti of True Knowledge enters,

Where neither night nor day is,
She of fragrant tresses is;
Seek Her;
And in silentness with Grace slumber,
You shall for ever youthful be
Transcending time and age. 1135: Beyond Bindu and Nada, She is
Youthful forever you shall be;

And reach the Mukti State Finale,
She, the Tatparai,
All Grace confers. 1136: Parasakti Evolutes into Jnana and Ichcha
Parasakti, who with pervasive Para stood,
Becomes Jnana Sakti and Ichcha Sakti;
And when Kriya Sakti arrives, (from Bindu)
The Dancer immanent becomes in them all. 1137: Siva Was One With Sakti in Primal Act of Creation
As flower and its fragrance
Siva and Sakti stood form resembling
This they know not;
When together they stirred the Primordial Bindu
For creation to commence,
He in Thought was one with Her
Thus it was, My Father stood. 1138: Sakti Devoluted into Bindu and Nada
Siva-Sakti who in Thought,
Thus commenced devolution
As Bindu and Nada expanded;

Thus is Her Form Divine. 1139: Sakti is in Siva and in Jiva
She is in Siva contained,
She is of ambrosial milk breasted,
She is in Jivas,
Yet they know not the way to Her;
Into them that hold Her in their hearts,
She welled up from within
And unto a bright lamp shed Her light. 1140: The Yogis See Lord
The Lord is my master,
He is Rudra, Fire and Light
He mounts the Bull in splendour surpassing;
Ye who have not seen Him,
Away, from Here!
The Sadhakas have seen Him
He is the support of their heart. 1141: She is on the Flower of Cosmos and Flower of Heart
On the petals of six Adharas is She seated;
On the petals of the Flower of Cosmos,
Of Worlds two hundred and eighteen above is She seated;
She is the Blessed One that is seated on the Flower of Heart
She is the bejewelled one that is on
Earth (Muladhara) below. 1142: Worlds Move in Sakti's Way
The bejewelled one is where Parama is;
She is the Light that shines high
As pennon resplendent,
She is dazzling unto the lightning in the sky,
And all worlds in Sakti's Way whirl. 1143: Sakti is Kundalini Within
In the nine centers within,
That Flower walked,
As nine Saktis were they there;
Kundalini Light through Central passage arose,
And into the Lotus in Sahasrara spread. 1144: Lotuses of Sakti
That Lotus in folds several is Primal Sakti's abode;
The Lotus that lifts soul is in the heart;
When the Lotus in Muladhara is roused,
The Lotus in Sahasrara blossoms. 1145: Sakti Pervades All Adharas
The Spark that arose in triangular Chakra (Muladhara)
Flew and spread in the rest of Adhara Chakras;
And piercing Sahasrara shone bright;
Thus She pervaded in Chakras all. 1146: As Prana Reaches Sakti in Ajna Ambrosial Flows
There She was with faces ten (in Ajna)
And in all directions the breath spread,
And sought the pearly-white light of Her face,
And then flowed ambrosial waters
From Her downward looking face. 1147: Sakti Daily Prays to Lord
Her glances are unto arrows sharp,
She is the Lady Supreme

The great Goddess, the Sakti;

The One Lord of Worlds all,
She creates million, million universes vast
In Her Thought;
She is draped in Cosmic Light,
She beautifies all,
Her I stood adoring. 1150: She Drives Away Death
"Hail, to You"--thus I pray
She is the Mistress of Worlds all,

Of passions dispelled;

She drives away fearsome death. 1151: She Uproots Karmas
She is of hands bedecked in jewellery,
She is Fountain of Bliss Divine,
She is Beautiful,
She is Tiripurai of Loveliness Perfect,
She is Mount Kailas
That all Karma destroys
She for ever uproots Karmas
Of Her devotees;
She is the Primal One. 1152: She Dispels Illusory Fame
She is damsel of sweet music,
She is tender vine of Void Limitless,
She is of fame infinite,
She is fruit-laden green vine
She drove away Maya
That transitory fame gives,
She of abiding fame,
In my heart entered. 1153: She Created All Life
Eternal existent is our Lord;
When at the beginning the worlds were created,
She Our Para Sakti followed Him,
Through "Heaven and earth"
And breathed life into creation all;
That verily was Sakti's Work. 1154: 2Siva and Sakti Together Grant Grace and Liberation
"This" and "That", they say, is God,
They Know Him not, the True One
They know not,
Who ultimate liberation grants,
They know not
Lady Great of honeyed-flower bedecked tresses,
That Grace confers;
Of muddled thinking they are.

8 SUPPORT-SUPPORTED

Kundalini in the four petalled Muladhara
Into Six and ninety Tattvas blossomed
The Adharas four above have petals forty four in all;

Yet beyond (twine) Lotus blossom is Sakti seated;
Herself unto a tender petal
Supports them all. 1156: Sakti is Support-All

All arived to praise Her;
Thus She was, the Yoga Sakti, seated. 1199: Yoga True Path to Mukti
Sakti is the Lady of Sadhaka (Yogi)

Unto a beaten dog,
They scream and wail. 1200: On Whom She Confers Her Grace
