बहिर् अन्तश् च भूतानाम् अचरं चरम् एव च । सूक्ष्मत्वात् तद् अविज्ञेयं दूरस्थं चान्तिके च तत्
Both within and without all beings, unmoving and yet moving; due to its subtlety, it is unknowable, far away and yet near.
सर्वत्र चन्द्रार्कमयं सर्वत्रैव धरामयम् । सर्वत्र पर्वतमयं सर्वत्राब्धिमयं तथा
Everywhere composed of moon and sun, everywhere composed of earth, everywhere composed of mountains, and likewise everywhere composed of oceans.
सर्वत्र सारगुरुकं सर्वत्रैव नभोमयम् । सर्वत्र संसृतिमयं सर्वत्रैव जगन्मयम्
Everywhere is the essence, the weight, everywhere is the expanse of space; everywhere is the flow of transmigration, everywhere is the universe itself.
सर्वत्रैव च मोक्षात्म सर्वत्रैवाद्यचिन्मयम् । सर्वत्र सर्वार्थमयं सर्वतस् सर्ववर्जितम्
Everywhere is the nature of liberation, everywhere is the primal consciousness; everywhere is the essence of all meanings, and everywhere is that which is free from all.
घटे वटे पटे कुड्ये शकटे वानरे नरे । धाम्नि व्योम्नि तराव् अद्राव् अनिले सलिले ऽनले
In the pot, in the banyan tree, in the cloth, in the wall, in the cart, in the monkey, in the man; in the abode, in space, in the star, in the mountain, in the wind, in water, in fire—
नानाचारविकाराणि विविधावृत्तिमन्ति च । परमाण्वंशमात्रे ऽपि त्रिजगन्ति ददर्श सः
He saw, even in the smallest atom, the three worlds with their various customs, transformations, and manifold activities.
मरिचस्यान्तरे तैक्ष्ण्यं शून्यत्वम् इव वाङ्ग खे । त्रिजगत् सत्य् असति च विद्यते चिन्मयात्मनि
Within a ray of light, as sharpness; as emptiness in the sky or in speech—so, in the consciousness-self, the three worlds exist as both real and unreal.
इत्य् एवं भावयन् मुक्तभावया शुद्धसंविदा । शक्रẖ क्रमेण तेनैव स निर्वाणम् अवाप्तवान्
Thus, contemplating in this way with the pure awareness of a liberated state, Indra gradually attained nirvana by that very means.
तस्याभवद् यश् शक्रस्य पुत्रḫ परपुरञ्जयः । सो ऽपि क्रमेण तेनैव तथैव ध्यानवान् अभूत्
To that Indra was born a son, Parapurañjaya; he too, in the same manner, became absorbed in meditation over time.
ध्यानेन सर्वम् एकत्र पश्यंश् चिरम् उदारधीः । ददर्शेमम् असौ सर्गम् अस्मदीयं महामतिः
With noble intellect, seeing everything as one through meditation for a long time, that great-minded one beheld this very creation of ours.
ततो ऽस्मिन् विचरन् सर्गे शक्रान्ते शक्रतां गतः । चकार जगतां राज्यं वृत्तान्तशतशोभितम्
Then, moving about in this creation, at the end of Indra’s reign, he attained the station of Indra and ruled over the worlds, adorned by hundreds of events.
विद्याधरकुलाधीश इहाद्यैव स देवराट् । तस्येन्द्रस्य कुलोत्पन्न इति विद्धि यथास्थितम्
Today, here, that king of the gods is the lord of the Vidyadhara clan; know that he was born in the lineage of that Indra, just as it is.
ततो हृदयबीजस्थप्राङ्मुखाभ्यासयोगतः । बिसजालविलासादिवृत्तान्तम् अनुभूतवान्
Then, through the practice of turning the mind toward the seed at the heart, he experienced events like the play of lotus fibers.
यथैष शक्रẖ कथितस् त्रसरेणूदरास्पदः । बिसवालास्पदश् चैतत्कुलजẖ कान्तिमान् अथ
Just as this Indra, who was described, had his abode within a speck of dust, so too this radiant one, born in that lineage, had his abode in a lotus fiber.
तथा शतसहस्राणि तत्रतश् चान्यतश् च खे । तादृशव्यवहाराणि समतीतानि सन्ति च
In the same way, hundreds of thousands of such activities have taken place and still exist here and elsewhere in the sky.
वहतीयम् अविच्छिन्ना चिरायैवं तरङ्गिणी । तात दृश्यसरित् प्रौढा मूढा रूढेव तत्पदे
This mighty river of appearances, my dear, flows on unbroken for a long time, like a powerful, deluded stream established in that state.
इति मायेयम् आदीर्घा प्रसृतोपशमोन्मुखी । सत्यावलोकमात्रातिविलयैकविलासिनी
Thus, this long expanse of illusion spreads forth, inclined toward cessation, and delights in dissolving at the mere sight of truth.
यतẖ कुतश्चिन् मायेयं यत्र क्वचन वानघ । यथा कथञ्चित् सम्पन्नमात्रैव परिदृश्यते
O sinless one, this illusion, arising from somewhere or other and appearing in various ways, is seen only as long as it has just come into being.
अहम्भावचमत्कारमात्राद् वृष्टिर् इवाम्बुदात् । जायते मिहिकेवाशु प्रेक्षामात्रविनाशिनी
The sense of 'I' arises merely from the marvel of self-awareness, like rain from a cloud, and, like dew, it swiftly vanishes at the mere glance of discernment.
मैनां पताभिमतदर्शन पश्य दृश्यमुक्तं स्वभावम् अवभासनमात्रतत्त्वम् । सर्वार्थशून्यम् अत एव च शून्यरूपम् एकं खमात्रम् इव मात्र विकल्पम् एहि
O Mind, behold your desired vision: see the nature of what is seen, which is nothing but mere appearance, empty of all substance, and thus of an empty form—one, like pure space, consisting only of conceptualization.
यत्राहन्त्वं जगत् तत्र पूर्वम् आगत्य तिष्ठति । पराण्वन्तर् अपीन्द्रस्य त्रसरेणूदरे यथा
Wherever the sense of 'I' exists, there the world first appears and stands, just as the subtle presence of Indra pervades even the smallest particle of dust.
भ्रमस्य जागतस्यास्य जातस्याकाशवर्णवत् । अहम्भावो ऽभिमन्त्रात्मा मूलम् आद्यम् उदाहृतम्
In this world of illusion, which has arisen like the color of space, the sense of 'I', whose essence is identification, is declared to be the root and the first cause.
वासनारससंसिक्ताद् अहम्बीजकणाद् अयम् । ब्रह्माद्रौ व्योमविपिने जायते त्रिजगद्द्रुमः
From the seed of 'I', moistened by the sap of latent tendencies, the tree of the three worlds grows in the forest of space, from Brahma down to the mountains.
तारकापुष्पनिकरो विनीलाचलपल्लवः । सरित्सारसिरापूरो वासनासारसत्फलः
Its stars are clusters of flowers, its blue mountains are tender shoots, its rivers and lakes are its fullness, and its fruit is the essence of latent impressions.
अहन्त्वसलिलस्येदं जगत् स्पन्द उदाहृतः । चिच्चमत्करणे स्वादु वासनाविसरद्रसः
The vibration of this world is said to be the ripple of the water of 'I'; in the delight of consciousness, the flavor of latent tendencies spreads forth.
तारकाशीकरासारो नभोऽनन्तनिखातवान् । भावाभावमहावर्तो नानागिरितरङ्गकः
The essence of starlight is its dew, deeply embedded in infinite space; the great whirlpool of being and non-being has waves of many mountains.
त्रिलोकीविलिखल्लेखो विलोलालोकफेनिलः । ब्रह्माण्डबुद्बुदोद्भेदẖ कवाटापीडपीवरः
The three worlds are but a fleeting trace, like the wavering foam seen by the eye; the universe is a swelling bubble, its door pressed shut.
भूपीठदृढदिण्डीरपिण्डश् चिद्घनमण्डवान् । चित्राजवञ्जवीभावमज्जनोन्मज्जनात्मकः
The earth is a solid drum, the body a dense mass of consciousness; it rises and falls in strange, swift forms, ever submerging and emerging.
जरामरणमोहादिवीचीचयचमत्कृतिः । उत्पन्नध्वंसदेहादिबिन्दुवृन्दैकमन्दिरः
The marvel of waves such as old age, death, and delusion; the body and its destruction arise and pass away, all centered in a single point.
अहन्त्वपवनस्पन्दो जगद् इत्य् अवगम्यताम् । अहन्त्वचन्द्रसौगन्ध्यं जगद् इत्य् एव बुध्यताम्
Let it be understood: the vibration of the wind called 'I-ness' is what is known as the world; just as the fragrance of the moon is 'I-ness,' so too is the world recognized.
