NIRVAN SATAKAM




NIRVANSATAKAM
(Six Stanzas of Nirvana by Adi Sankaracharya))

OM MANOBUDDHA AHANKARA CHITTANI NAHANG, NA CHA SROTRA JIBHYA NA CHA GHRANA NETRE
NA CHA VHYOM BHUMIRNA TEJO NA VAYU, SCHIDANDARUPA SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

Om. I am neither the mind, intelligence, ego, nor chitta (the seat of memory),Neither the ears nor the tongue, nor the senses of smell and sight; neither ether nor air, nor fire nor water nor earth; I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

NA CHA PRANA SANGHYO NA VAI PANCHA VAYURNA VA SAPTA DHATURNA VA PANCHAKOSHAH
NA VAKPANI PADANG NA CHOUPASTHAPAYU SCHIDA NANDA RUPA SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

I am neither the prana nor the five vital breaths. Neither the seven elements of the body, nor its five sheathes,Not hands nor feet nor tongue, nor either organs of action; I am eternal Bliss and Awareness - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

NA ME DWESHARAGO NA ME LOBHOMOHA, MADO NEIVA ME NEIVA MATSCHARGA BHAVA
NA DHARMO NA CHARTHANG NA KAMO NA MOKSHA SCIDANANDA RUPAH SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

Neither greed not delusion, loathing nor liking have I; Nothing of pride or ego, of dharma or Libertion; Neither desire of the mind nor object for its desiring: I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness – I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

NA PUNYANG NA PAPANG NA SAUKHANG NA DUKHANG NA MANTRO NA TIRTHANG NA VEDA NA YAGYA
AHANG BHOJANANG NAIVA BHAJYANG NA BHOKTA SCHIDANANDA RUPAH SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

Nothing of pleasure and pain, of virtue and vice do I know; Of mantra of sacred place, of Vedas of sacrifice; Neither am I the eater, the food or the act of eating; I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

NA MRITUYARNA SANKA NA ME JATI BHEDAH PITA NAIVA MEIN NEIVA MATA NA JANMA
NA BANDHURNA MITRANG GURUR NAIVA SISHYA SCHIDANANDA RUPAH SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

Death or fear I have none, nor any distinction of caste; Neither father nor mother, nor even birth, have I; Neither friend nor comrade, neither disciple nor guru: I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

AHANG NIRVIKALPO NIRAKARA RUPAH VIBHUTVACCA SARVATRA SARVENDRIYANAM
NA VASANGATANG NAIVA MUKTIRNA MEYA SCHIDANANDA RUPAH SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM.

I have no form or fancy: the all pervading am I ; everywhere I exist, and yet I am beyond the senses; neither salvation am I, nor anything to be known: I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness… I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
