8 SUPPORT-SUPPORTED (contd)

 

1175: Worship of Vidya Chakra

 

Mount Parasakti

In Vidya Chakra,

And for seven and twenty days,

Chant Rudra mantra again and again,

The Eight Saktis will there appear,

And the white hued Three-eyed Parasakti too,

With mace, and Her Mudra of yore.

 

 

1176: She is Pervasive All

 

She of Mudras triple, and Jnana perfect,

She is the Tattvas, and the not-Tattvas

She is pervasive-all,

She is Paraparai that ParaParan holds

She is Sakti and Ananda Sakti too,

She indeed is of fragrance intoxicating.

 

 

1177: Universe is Her Abode

 

She is unto fragrant tender vine,

She is virgin with budding breasts

She is radiant kum-kum hued red,

She holds Elephant-goad and noose

Know that universe entire is that Virgin's abode.

 

 

1178: Sakti is Mother, Daughter and Spouse

 

She is Manonmani beyond word and thought,

She is the Lady that has ghosts and Ganas for Her host,

For Hara who all knowledge surpasses,

She is Mother, Daughter and Spouse at once.

 

 

1179: She is Cause and Caused

 

She stands as Spouse,

She stands as Tattvas,

She is the Cause

And the Caused at once,

She is the Ancient

That is enveloped by Bindu perfect,

She possesses the directions ten of this world.

 

 

1180: She is Eternal

 

Ten faces She has, our Parasakti,

She revealed the four Vedas with the six Angas,

She as One pervaded the Adharas six

She as Eternal stood,

Our Lovely bejewelled Lady,

Know you this.

 

 

1181: She is Inseparate From Siva

 

She is virgin of arched eye-brows,

She is Awesome One,

In seven worlds She shone,

She is Arya Devi, holy

She is of breasts ambrosial,

She is Mistress of Over-Soul (Siva),

She knows separateness none

From Her Lord.

 

 

1182: She is Jnana in Jiva

 

She is the Great Lady inseparate stood

She is the lovely vine in Muladhara unites,

With senses centered, and in union absorbed

She in Jnana merging stood

In the Jiva within.

 

 

1183: She Drew Me into Divine Rapture

 

Deep in the core of my heart She stood,

And there dispelled the falsity of senses five,

And in me in union joined,

And into the rapture of tapasvin way

Entranced, drew me;

She, Lady of boundless Bounty.

 

 

1184: Bhoga Maha Sakti Confers Grace From Within

 

The Bounteous Lady, Bhoga Maha Sakti

Her Grace confers;

The sweetness of that Grace,

She from within grants,

They know this not,

The Cosmic Daughter in amity stood in me;

In the Center, where Cranium Flower is,

She in sweetness stood.

 

 

1185: She Entered in Union Wondrous and Abiding

 

The Lady invaded my heart

And there resided

In union perfect intense,

And in wonder abiding,

And in that Cranium Center She was,

That, indeed, is union true.

 

 

1186: Adore Her and Vanquish Fate

 

This and that--thus your desire runs

Get rid of it;

Adore Her

And through Sushumna upward look

Well may you even Fate conquer,

She of the Flower in Sahasrara

In the Spheres Three,

Of Sun, Moon and Fire.

 

 

1187: She Ascends the Three Spheres

 

Three the spheres the Mohini ascends to

At top She appears

In Sphere of Sun of Kalas twelve

With Kalas fourteen She is Mamaya;

And in Moon's Sphere

The Bright One finite appears.

 

 

1188: Nada Arises in Moon's Sphere and Reaches the Heart Center

 

Unto the rays of the Sun

The Nada from Moon Sphere arises,

From there it travels to the root of tongue,

And thence to throat the light goes,

And then to region of heart

Whence arises the articulate sound,

For all this,

The source is the Moon Sphere

(Where Sakti is.)

 

 

1189: She Abides in Moon's Sphere, Changeless

 

That is beginning and end of where She is

--The Kalas twice-eight in the Moon Sphere--

Changes indefinite it none has;

It is of infinite beauty

Reached by Centered Mind,

It is a Center that is fragrant dense

There was She born,

And there in divinity abides.

 

 

1190: There She Abides

 

There She abided, the bejewelled One

There She abided in Center Finite

There She abided as Holy Way

There She abided as Bliss Infinite,

There She abided

All worlds praising her,

And yearning for Her;

There She abided, the Goodly Lady.

 

 

1191: In Siva-Sakti Union Arose the Five Gods

 

The Lady and Her Handsome Lover

Together embracing

Looked inward and out;

The Maya and the Five Sons

With their Saktis arising

Commenced their tasks respective.

 

 

1192: Kundalini Subsides in Sakti

 

With rituals many, they tapas perform

Let them meditate on Her within their body vessel,

The Kundalini light within

Ascending through Sushumna cavity

Will in Her Love subside.

 

 

1193: Piercing Chakras, Primal Mantra Arises

 

She dwells in flowers of Six Adharas

Make them unfold,

And the Primal Mantra in radiance arises,

Precious by far than pearl it is.

 

 

1194: Sakti's Attributes

 

Of pearly white radiance is Her visage,

Three the eyes She has in face each,

She is Sakti, Sakiri, Sahali, Jatadhari

Ten Her hands;

She is the bejewelled Lady

To Paraparan belongs,

Vithaki She is,

In my heart She stood.
