शान्तेन्द्रियोग्रग्राहाय क्षीणचित्तौर्ववह्नये । आनन्दाम्बुधये तुभ्यं मह्यम् आत्मन् नमो नमः
To you, my Self, the ocean of bliss, whose senses are pacified and whose inner fire of thought is spent, I bow again and again.
प्रफुल्तानन्दपद्माय शान्तचिन्तामहोर्मये । मह्यम् उन्मानसायात्मंस् तुभ्यम् अन्तर् नमो नमः
To you, my inner Self, whose lotus of bliss is in full bloom and whose great waves of thought are calm, I bow again and again.
संविदाभासपक्षाय पद्मकोटरवासिने । सर्वमानसहंसाय स्वात्मने ऽन्तर् नमो नमः
To you, my inner Self, who dwells in the heart-lotus, whose wings are the rays of consciousness, and who is the swan of all minds, I bow again and again.
कलाकलितरूपाय निष्कलायामितात्मने । सदोदितातिपूर्णात्मशशिने ते नमो नमः
To you, ever full moon of the Self, whose form is adorned with the arts yet is partless and boundless, always shining and completely perfect, I bow again and again.
सदोदिताय शीताय महाहृद्ध्वान्तहारिणे । सर्वगायाप्य् अदृश्याय चित्सूर्याय नमो नमः
To you, ever-risen, cool, destroyer of the great darkness of the heart, all-pervading, invisible, sun of consciousness, I bow again and again.
अस्नेहस्नेहदीप्राय वर्त्यतिक्रान्तवर्तिने । स्वभावाधारधीराय चिद्दीपाय नमो नमः
Salutations again and again to the lamp of consciousness, which is like a flame without oil, whose wick has transcended the wick, whose steadfastness rests in its own nature.
मननानलसन्तप्तं शीतेन मनसा मनः । छिन्नम् अन्तर् मया तप्तम् अयसेव बलाद् अयः
My mind, scorched by the fire of thought, has been cooled by the mind itself; within, I have cut and tempered it, as iron is forcibly tempered by iron.
इन्द्रियैर् इन्द्रियं छित्त्वा छित्त्वा च मनसा मनः । अहङ्कृतिम् अहङ्कृत्या छित्त्वा शेषो जयाम्य् अहम्
Having cut off the senses with the senses, and the mind with the mind, having severed egoism with egoism, I remain, victorious, as the residue.
भावेन भावम् आमृद्य च्छित्त्वा तृष्णाम् अतृष्णया । निष्पिष्य प्रज्ञयाप्रज्ञां ज्ञे ऽज्ञस् संयोजितो मया
Having subdued one state with another, and cut off craving with non-craving, having crushed ignorance with wisdom, I have united knowledge and non-knowledge within myself.
मनसा मनसि च्छिन्ने निरहङ्कारतां गते । भावेन गलिते भावे स्वस्थस् तिष्ठामि केवलः
When the mind is cut off by the mind and egoism is gone, when one state dissolves into another, I stand alone, established in my own nature.
निर्भावं निरहङ्कारम् अमनस्कम् अनीहितम् । केवलस्पन्दशुद्धात्म यन्त्रं तिष्ठति मे वपुः
My body remains as a machine, devoid of states, devoid of egoism, without mind, without intention, its essence purified by the sole vibration.
हेलानुकल्पितानन्तविश्वैकव्यवसायिनी । परमोपशमोपेता जातेयं मम निर्वृतिः
This supreme peace, my liberation, has arisen—spontaneously conceived, engaged in the single resolve of the infinite universe, endowed with the highest tranquility.
प्रशान्तमोहवेतालो गताहङ्कारराक्षसः । कदाशारूपिकामुक्तो जातो ऽस्मि विगतज्वरः
I have become free from the demon of egoism, the goblin of delusion pacified; released from the form of hope, I am born, free from fever.
तृष्णारज्जुगणं छित्त्वा मच्छरीरकपञ्जरात् । न जाने क्व गतोड्डीय दुरहङ्कृतिपक्षिणी
Having severed the cords of craving, the bird of difficult ego has flown from the cage of my body; I do not know where it has gone.
उद्धूलिते घनाज्ञानकुलाये कायपादपात् । न जाने गत उड्डीय क्वाहम्भावविहङ्गमः
When the nest of dense ignorance was scattered from the tree of the body, I do not know where the bird of 'I'-ness has flown.
दुराशादीर्घदौरात्म्या धूसरा भोगभस्मना । भयभोगिहता दिष्ट्या वयस्या वासना मृता
By fortune, the companion called 'tendency' has died, destroyed by the ashes of enjoyment, faded by the long misfortune of vain hope, and struck by the fear of pleasure.
एतावन्तम् अहं कालं को ऽभूवं चित्तम् ईदृशम् । येनाहम् एव मिथ्यैव दृढाहङ्कारतां गतः
For so long, what was I? What was this mind, by which I, through mere illusion, attained such firm egoism?
अद्याहम् अस्मि जातो ऽयम् अहम् अद्य महामतिः । अहङ्कारमहाभ्रेण यः कृष्णेनालम् उज्झितः
Today I am born; today I am endowed with great wisdom, for I am utterly freed from the vast dark cloud of ego.
दृष्टो ऽयम् आत्मा भगवान् अन्तश् चाधिगतो मया । आलब्धश् चानुभूतो ऽङ्गे सानुभूतिर् नियोजितः
This self, the blessed one, has been seen and realized within by me; it has been obtained, experienced in the body, and established with awareness.
गतास्पदं गतमननं गतैषणं तिरस्कृतं निपुणम् अहङ्कृतिभ्रमे । निरीहितं व्यपगतरागरञ्जनं विकौतुकं प्रशमम् इदं गतं मनः
The mind has reached peace: it is without a base, without thought, without desire, skillfully freed from the illusion of ego, devoid of longing, cleansed of the stain of passion, and free from curiosity.
दुरुत्तरास् समविषमा महापदस् सुदुस्सहाः प्रभवनदीर्घदोषदाः । गताः क्षयं समधिगतो महेश्वरश् चिदव्ययो व्यपगतचित्तम् अन्तरे
The great obstacles, difficult to cross and endure, giving rise to long-lasting faults, have perished; the supreme Lord, imperishable consciousness, has been attained within, with the mind dissolved.
आत्मन् सर्वपदातीत चिरात् संस्मृतिम् आगतः । दिष्ट्या लब्धो ऽसि भगवन् नमस् ते ऽस्तु चिदात्मने
O Self, transcending all conditions, you have returned to remembrance after a long time; by good fortune you are found, O revered one, salutations to you, the consciousness-self.
अभिवन्द्यावलोक्यायम् अलम् आलिङ्ग्यसे मया । को ऽन्यस् स्याद् भगवन् बन्धुस् त्वदृते भुवनत्रये
Having bowed and looked upon you, it is enough—I embrace you; who else, O revered one, would be a kin in the three worlds apart from you?
हंसि पासि ददासि त्वं स्तौषि यासि विवल्गसि । अयं प्राप्तो ऽसि दृष्टो ऽसि किं करोषि क्व गच्छसि
You kill, you protect, you give, you praise, you go, you rejoice; now you have arrived, you are seen—what are you doing, where are you going?
स्वसत्तापूरिताशेषविश्व विश्वजनीन हे । सर्वत्र लक्ष्यसे नित्यम् अधुना क्व पलायसे
O origin of all beings, who fills the entire universe with your own essence, you are always perceived everywhere—now, where are you fleeing?
आवयोर् अन्तरं भूरिजन्मव्यवहितान्तरम् । अदूरम् अद्य सम्पन्नं दिष्ट्या दृष्टो ऽसि बान्धव
The distance between us, separated by many births, is now overcome; by good fortune you are seen today, O kinsman.
नमस् ते कृतकृत्याय कर्त्रे हर्त्रे नमो ऽस्तु ते । नमस् संसारनृत्याय नित्याय विमलात्मने
Salutations to you, who has accomplished all tasks, to the creator and destroyer; salutations to you, who dances the dance of worldly existence, eternal and pure in essence.
नमश् चक्राब्जहस्ताय नमश् चन्द्रार्धधारिणे । नमो विबुधनाथाय नमस् ते पद्मजन्मने
Salutations to you, who holds the discus and lotus in your hands; salutations to you, who bears the crescent moon; salutations to you, lord of the wise; salutations to you, born from the lotus.
वाच्यवाचकदृष्ट्यैव भेदो यो ऽयम् इहावयोः । असत्या कल्पनैवैषा वीचिवीच्यम्भसोर् इव
The distinction between us, seen as speaker and spoken, is merely an unreal imagination, like the difference between waves and the water of the ocean.
त्वम् एवानन्तयानन्तवस्तुवैचित्र्यरूपया । भावाभावविलासिन्या नित्ययेह विजृम्भसे
You alone manifest here eternally, in the form of the endless, wondrous diversity of infinite reality, playing as both existence and non-existence.
