क्व सृष्टिः क्व च संहारः क्व साध्यं क्व च साधनं। क्व साधकः क्व सिद्धिर्वा स्वस्वरूपेऽहमद्वये
Where is creation, where dissolution, where is the attainable, and where the means? Where is the practitioner, and where attainment, in my own nondual nature?
क्व प्रमाता प्रमाणं वा क्व प्रमेयं क्व च प्रमा। क्व किंचित् क्व न किंचिद् वा सर्वदा विमलस्य मे
Where is the knower, where the means of knowledge, where the knowable, and where knowledge itself? Where is something, or where is nothing, for me who am always pure?
क्व विक्षेपः क्व चैकाग्र्यं क्व निर्बोधः क्व मूढता। क्व हर्षः क्व विषादो वा सर्वदा निष्क्रियस्य मे
Where is distraction, where concentration, where ignorance, and where dullness? Where is joy, or where is sorrow, for me who am always inactive?
क्व चैष व्यवहारो वा क्व च सा परमार्थता। क्व सुखं क्व च वा दुखं निर्विमर्शस्य मे सदा
Where is this worldly conduct, and where is that which is ultimate reality? Where is happiness, and where is suffering, for me who am always without deliberation?
क्व माया क्व च संसारः क्व प्रीतिर्विरतिः क्व वा। क्व जीवः क्व च तद्ब्रह्म सर्वदा विमलस्य मे
Where is illusion, where the cycle of existence, where is attachment or detachment? Where is the individual soul, and where that Brahman, for me who am always pure?
क्व प्रवृत्तिर्निर्वृत्तिर्वा क्व मुक्तिः क्व च बन्धनं। कूटस्थनिर्विभागस्य स्वस्थस्य मम सर्वदा
Where is activity or cessation, where is liberation, and where bondage, for me who am ever unchanging, indivisible, and established in myself?
क्वोपदेशः क्व वा शास्त्रं क्व शिष्यः क्व च वा गुरुः। क्व चास्ति पुरुषार्थो वा निरुपाधेः शिवस्य मे
Where is instruction, where scripture, where is the disciple, and where the teacher? Where is any human aim, for me who am Shiva, without attributes?
क्व चास्ति क्व च वा नास्ति क्वास्ति चैकं क्व च द्वयं। बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन किंचिन्नोत्तिष्ठते मम
Where is existence, and where non-existence? Where is the one, and where the dual? Why say much here? Nothing arises for me.
