एवं दुरुत्तराद् अस्मात् संसारकुहराद् अहम् । उत्तारितो यया बुद्ध्या सा हि केनोपमीयते
By such wisdom, I have been lifted from this difficult and unfathomable pit of worldly existence—by what can that be compared?
अरुन्धती शची गौरी गायत्री श्रीस् सरस्वती । समस्ताः पेलवायन्ते तन्व्यास् सत्त्वगुणश्रिया
Arundhati, Shachi, Gauri, Gayatri, Shri, Sarasvati—all these seem slight beside the noble quality and virtue of this slender one.
धीश्रीकान्तिक्षमामैत्रीकरुणाद्यासु सुन्दरि । कान्तास्व् आकारकान्तासु प्रथमैवासि लक्ष्यसे
O beautiful one, among women who are adorned with wisdom, splendor, patience, friendship, and compassion, you are foremost in form and grace.
परेणाध्यवसायेन त्वयाहम् अवबोधितः । केन प्रत्युपकारेण तुलाम् एष्यन्ति मे गुणाः
By your supreme resolve, I have been awakened; by what reciprocal act could my virtues ever equal yours?
मोहाद् अनादिगहनाद् अनन्तविषमाद् अपि । पतिम् अध्यवसायिन्यस् तारयन्ति कुलस्त्रियः
Even from the deep, beginningless darkness of delusion, and from endless poison, noble women of the family, steadfast in resolve, rescue their husbands.
शास्त्रार्थगुरुमन्त्रादि न तथोत्तारणक्षमम् । यथैतास् स्नेहशालिन्यो भर्तॄणां कुलयोषितः
The meanings of scriptures, teachers, mantras, and the like are not as capable of deliverance as these affectionate women are for their husbands.
सखा भ्राता सुहृद् भृत्यो गुरुर् मन्त्रो धनं सुखम् । शास्त्रम् आयतनं दास्यस् सर्वं भर्तुः कुलस्त्रियः
A wife of noble lineage is for her husband a friend, brother, companion, servant, teacher, mantra, wealth, happiness, scripture, sanctuary, and everything.
सर्वदा सर्वयत्नेन पूजनीयाः कुलाङ्गनाः । लोकद्वयसुखं सम्यक् सर्वं तासु प्रतिष्ठितम्
Women of noble families should always be honored with every effort, for all the happiness of both worlds is truly established in them.
निरिच्छायाः प्रयातायाः पारं संसारवारिधेः । कथम् अस्योपकारस्य करिष्ये ते प्रतिक्रियाम्
How can I repay the help of one who, without desire, has crossed to the far shore of the ocean of worldly existence?
मन्ये कुलाङ्गनालोको लोके सर्वस् त्वयाधुना । नारीसौजन्यचर्चासु व्यपदेश्यो भविष्यति
I think that now, because of you, the reputation of noble women in the world will be spoken of in discussions of feminine virtue.
त्वां निर्मितवतो धातुर् गुणजालातिशायिनीम् । मन्ये प्रकुपिता नूनम् अरुन्धत्यादिकास् स्त्रियः
I believe that the women like Arundhati, who excel in all virtues, must surely be jealous of you, whom the Creator has fashioned surpassing all qualities.
सतीत्वरूपसौजन्यगुणरत्नसमुद्गिके । एहि मे त्वद्गुणोत्कस्य पुनर् आलिङ्गनं कुरु
O treasure chest of the jewels of chastity, beauty, virtue, and gentleness, come, embrace me again, for I am eager for your qualities.
इत्य् उक्त्वा मृगशावाक्षीं चूडालां स शिखिध्वजः । आलिलिङ्ग पुनर् गाढं नकुलो नकुलीम् इव
Having spoken thus to Cūḍālā, whose eyes were like those of a fawn, Śikhidhvaja embraced her tightly again, as a male mongoose embraces its mate.
देव शुष्कक्रियाजालपरे त्वय्य् आकुलात्मनि । तथाभूवं भृशम् अहं त्वदर्थं दुःखिता किल
O lord, while you were absorbed in dry rituals and your mind was agitated, I truly became deeply distressed for your sake.
तेन त्वदवबोधात्मा स्वार्थ एवोपपादितः । मया तद् अत्र किं देवः करोति मयि शंसनम्
Through that, your awakening to knowledge has indeed fulfilled its own purpose; so what does the lord accomplish by praising me in this matter?
त्वया यथा वरारोहे स्वार्थस् सम्पादितश् शुभः । तथेदानीं सतां सर्वास् साधयन्तु कुलस्त्रियः
Just as you, O beautiful one, have attained your noble purpose, so now may all virtuous women of noble families accomplish the same.
बुद्ध्यंशैकान्तविश्रान्तजगज्जालक देव हे । अद्य तं प्राक्तनं कच्चिन् मोहं समनुपश्यसि
O lord, support of the web of the world, resting solely in the fragment of intelligence—do you now perceive that former delusion?
इदं करोमि नेदं तु प्राप्नोमीदम् इतस् त्व् इति । अन्तर् हससि तां कच्चिद् आशापेलवतां धियः
Do you now inwardly laugh at those hopes of the mind, which used to think, 'I will do this, not that; I will obtain this, not that'—like the curses of wishful thinking?
तास् तुच्छतृष्णाकलनास् तास् सङ्कल्पकुकल्पनाः । त्वयि नाद्यावलोक्यन्ते देव व्योम्नीव पर्वताः
Those vain thirsts and false imaginations, those crooked fabrications of thought, are no longer seen in you today, O lord, just as mountains are not seen in the sky.
कस् त्वम् अद्याङ्गसम्पन्नः किंनिष्ठो ऽसि किम् ईहसे । कथं पश्यसि पाश्चात्यं देहावस्थाक्रमं प्रभो
Who are you now, endowed with all your faculties? Upon what do you stand? What do you seek? How do you view the subsequent stages of bodily existence, O master?
सुमनःपूर्णनीलाब्जमालासारविलोकने । यस्य त्वम् एव तज्ज्ञासि तद् एवाहम् उपस्थितः
Wherever you perceive the garland of blue lotuses filled with a tranquil mind, know that as myself, for I am present there.
निरीहो ऽस्मि निरंशो ऽस्मि नभस्स्वच्छो ऽस्मि निस्स्पृहः । शान्ताहमर्थरूपो ऽस्मि चिरायाहम् अहं स्थितः
I am without desire, without parts, clear as the sky, free from longing; I am peaceful, of the nature of meaning, and I have abided as myself for a long time.
तां दशाम् उपयातो ऽस्मि यतश् चण्पकवर्णिनि । प्रतिभान्ति महान्तो ऽपि शोच्या हरिजिनादयः
Having attained that state, O one of golden complexion, even the great ones like Indra and others, who are subject to sorrow, appear pitiable to me.
नकिञ्चिन्मात्रचिन्मात्रनिष्ठो ऽस्मि स्वस्थ आस्थितः । भ्रमेणालं विमुक्तो ऽस्मि संसारेणालिलोचने
I am established in pure consciousness alone, with nothing else, abiding in my own nature; I am completely free from delusion and from the world, O lotus-eyed one.
न तुष्टो ऽस्मि न खिन्नो ऽस्मि नायम् अस्मि न चेतरत् । न स्थूलो ऽस्मि न सूक्ष्मो ऽस्मि सर्वम् अस्मि च सुन्दरि
I am neither pleased nor distressed, I am not this nor anything else; I am neither gross nor subtle, yet I am all, O beautiful one.
तेजोबिम्बात् प्रयातेन भित्ताव् अपतितेन च । क्षयातिशयमुक्तेन प्रकाशेनास्मि वै समः
Like the light that, though projected from a luminous orb, does not fall upon a wall, and is untouched by increase or decrease, so am I, ever equal.
शान्तो ऽस्मि साम्यम् एवास्मि स्वच्छो ऽस्मि विगतामयः । परिनिर्वाण एवास्मि सद् अस्म्य् अतिसतीव्रते
I am peaceful, I am equanimity itself, I am pure, free from disease; I am verily supreme liberation, I am existence, firmly established in the highest vow.
यत् तद् अस्ति तद् एवास्मि वक्तुं शक्नोमि नेतरत् । तरङ्गतरलापाङ्गे गुरुस् त्वं मे नमो ऽस्तु ते
Whatever truly exists, that I am; I am able to say this and nothing else. O Guru, whose glance is as gentle as a trembling wave, I bow to you.
प्रसादेन विशालाक्ष्यास् तीर्णो ऽस्मि भवसागरात् । पुनर् मलं न गृह्णामि शतध्मातसुवर्णवत्
By the grace of the wide-eyed one, I have crossed the ocean of worldly existence; I will not take up impurity again, just as gold purified a hundred times does not become tainted.
स्वस्थश् शान्तो मृदुर् दान्तो वीतरागो निरंशधीः । सर्वातीतस् सर्वगश् च खम् इवायम् अहं स्थितः
I am tranquil, peaceful, gentle, restrained, free from passion, with a mind devoid of divisions; I have transcended all, I am all-pervading, and I remain like the sky.
