Tirumantiram

English translation of the Tamil Spiritual Classic by Saint Tirumular

 

TANTRA THREE  Verses  681 - 700 of 883

 

681: Experiences in Prapti

 

No going; No coming;

No death; No aging

No delay in seeing Light of Breath (Nada)

Nothing desired in particular,

Thus it is with Siddhas

Who attained this Siddhi.

 

 

682: Prakamya a Year After Prapti

 

When Prapti is attained

Parasakti resides palpably within;

And all Tattvas flee

When he is for a year thus,

He attains the power to transmigrate into alien bodies.

 

 

683: Salvation Easy After Prakamya

 

They know not how the Being within

Becomes the Light Radiant;

That Light is already within in Muladhara;

With it they can see the Light of Nada above;

Them who thus seek

The Light Above leads to Liberation effortless.

 

 

684: Isatva a Year After Prakamya

 

A year rolls by after the Siddha attains Prakamya

And he perseveres in his adoration

Then he visions Sada Siva Sakti and Her hosts of Bhutas

And attains Isatva.

 

 

685: In Isatva Yogi Becomes Moon

 

At that stage,

The Siddha becomes the rays of the moon

He becomes the moon's kalas in his merge

He himself the moon becomes.

 

 

686: Powers Isatva Confers

 

He acquires the power to create

He acquires the power to preserve

He shall himself be Lord of destruction

He and Isa inextricably one become.

 

 

687: After One Year of Isatva Yogi Attains Power to Perceive God in Vasitva

 

If within the cool kala of the moon

The Siddha contains the elements five

In a year shall he attain

The power rare to perceive the True One.

 

 

688: Vasitva Confers Immenence

 

That power rare to perceive the True One

Is the divine Siddhi that is Vasitva

In beings all that come within his reach

He immanent becomes like God Himself.

 

 

689: In Vasitva the Yogi Visions Chit-Sakti

 

In the days the Siddha stands thus in Vasitva

Radiant as the Sun,

If he attains the rare vision of te True Being,

Golden becomes his body

Dead his sense organs,

And he visions the goodly Sakti

That lke a Tender Vine appears.

 

 

690: Kamarutatva (Kamavasayitha)

 

After attaining Vasitva Siddhi

The Siddha perserveres in the knowledge of Sakti,

And of Siva who Her body shares;

And then a year thereafter

He attains the powers to visit worlds all,

That hang from the golden stalk of the Cosmic Flower;

Sitting inert like a flag of stone

Attains Siddhi Kamarutattva (Kamavasayitva).

 

 

691: What Kamarutatva Leads to

 

Having attained Kamaru Siddhi

You will receive the power to pervade

As unto the flower's fragrance in Space all

Divine Fragrance yours shall be;

Transformed unto Maya Sakti,

You shall be the Lord of Light we adore.

 

 

692: Visions in Kamarutatva

 

Having visioned the Divine Light

He abides in it as in mother's home;

The myriad worlds having visited,

He sees the Supreme light of Siva

Who has His home amidst ghosts and ghouls.

 

 

693: When the Eight Siddhis are Attained

 

He who has mastered the Siddhis eight high.

Will be the Lord of globe entire,

Gleaming shall be his garland of victory

And His breath shall turn to peerless light.

 

 

694: Sakti Pervades Prana After Siddhis are Attained

 

The Way Prana mingles in Jiva

Is through Sakti of the Tender Vine

Prana pervades the five hundred then the ten.

And then the three nadis

And Sakti pervades Prana entire.

 

 

695: Nectar Flows When Breath Pervades Body

 

Inside the head ambrosia flows like a river

In nadi channels a thousand three hundred and five in number

The adharas are the Way to the thousand petalled Sahasrara;

The twin breaths Idakala and Pingala shows the Way.

 

 

696: From Ajna Where Sadasiva Nayaki is, Prana Ascends to Sahasrara of Thousand Petalled Lotus

 

Above the twin-petalled Center

Is the Seat of Sadasiva Sakti;

As breath in double ascends further

There is the Sahasrara of thousand petalled lotus;

And on it are the Letters Fifty and One

That in time became the Letters Five.

 

 

697: Description of Sadasiva Nayaki

 

Five are Her awe-inspiring faces;

Ten Her weapons deadly;

Without the five-lettered mantra

No ascension is,

From the twin petalled Center to the thousand petalled;

The Five Letters in time the One Letter become (Aum).

 

 

698: How to Reach Tattva Nayaki

 

She is the One Being;

She is the Tattva Nayaki (Lady of the Tattvas)

When breath ascends united through Spinal Cavity

Then will that one breath reach the thousand petalled Sahasrara;

Think of Her,

A thousand year shalt thou live.

 

 

699: Prana Merges in Kalaicoursed upwards through Sushumna

 

Reaches the Kalai Nayaki in Sahasrara;

And there it merges with the letters Fifty and One

And then with the Letters Five

That the final end of Prana art.

 

 

700: Prana Reaches Tani Nayaki and Remains Exalted

 

The life breath that rose with the Tani Nayaki

Filled the nadis five hundred and thirty nine

(Before it upward coursed)

And remained in Sakti, total absorbed.
