8 SUPPORT-SUPPORTED (contd)

 

1215: She is Immanent in All

 

The Virgin with Her Lover commingling stood

She stood commingling in all Life and Thought

She stood commingling in all Learning and Wisdom

She stood commingling as Time Eternal.

 

 

1216: She is Pervasive Everywhere

 

She is Eternal Time embodied;

She pervades all thought and love;

She united in Jiva inseparably;

She is Malini (Uma); Makuli (Kundalini)

Mantra Chandika

(That blows away the troubles of Her devotees like a tornado)

She is Protectress,

She with Protector indivisible stands.

 

 

1217: She is Siva's Half

 

Parasakti is the Half of Him,

Who sports golden matted locks,

Who peels the elephant

And dances in triumph;

One their heart,

Ten the hands

Five the bewitching faces

Three the eyes on face each.

 

 

1218: She Stood Beyond Tattvas Thirty-Six

 

The Jiva and Tattvas four times nine

Are there;

Among them are the active group of Five (Senses);

In the body so constituted

She stands as Beginning and End,

Praised by Brahma and the twice-nine Ganas.

 

 

1219: She Created Kala Beings

 

In the Beginning

Fifty-one the Kala Beings created

She stood as their life and soul;

She stood in the Chakra

Of fifty-one letters inscribed;

And He the Lord stood there

By the Jewelled One's side.

 

 

1220: She Dwells in Adharas

 

Two the Centers where the Primal Lord is,

One the Jewelled One

The other the Adharas six;

As the mind the Adharas six reaches

There She in each is with Her presence

Thus She, of the flowing tresses,

In sweetness stood.

 

 

1221: The Adharas Get Enlivened

 

She stood there for me to witness

The seven Centers within me

Were uplifted and enlivened;

The ten breaths within me

As one Prana breath became;

And there She stood,

Chanting (Aum) and awareness imparting.

 

 

1222: Sakti Blesses

 

The Mantra Aum that Jnana imparts within,

Is the way of union in God,

Thus does Siva (contriver) and Sakti (consort of the contriver)

Together in amity arise;

She, the Beloved of Siva, (Sivakami) blesses you.

 

 

1223: Sakti Appears in Eye-Brow Center

 

She is Fire, the Primal Being and Isa

She is Spheres Three,

The Wind and the rest of elements;

She fortifies Jiva,

And renders him youthful,

Flower bedecked She stands

In Jiva's Eye-brow Center.

 

 

1224: She is Paraparai

 

She that stands in Eye-brow center is Manonmani,

She one with Fifty Letters becomes;

She is Para Parai and Parai too;

She is of the Acts Five--

Creation, Preservation, Dissolution, Obfuscation and Redemption.

 

 

1225: Her Blessing Leads to Union in Siva

 

She is vibrant Mohini,

She is amiable Yogini,

They who reach to Her

Stand at Her Feet adoring,

Unite in Siva that in their life is;

Para Siva, too, they ascend to become.

 

 

1226: Meditate on Aum in Cranium Top

 

At the far end of Cranium top

She abides, Ananda Mohini, the Golden Lady;

Meditate on Her in Silentness chanting Aum,

That way lies life's Redemption.

 

 

1227: She Appears as Wisdom Subtle

 

She gave birth to Faiths several,

She is Manonmani, Mangali the Auspicious,

Rare is She for any to know,

To them that seek Her

United in word and thought,

She as Wisdom Subtle appears.

 

 

1228: Jnana Way is True Way

 

She is Wisdom Subtle

Of those with intellect subtle,

Behind it is Lord's Wisdom

That is Jnana;

That Way is the Holy Way,

For those who seek Siva-State,

The Way of Sanmarga (Jnana) is Way True.

 

 

1229: Sakti is Mistress of Sanmarga

 

The (Jnana) Way becomes Sanmarga (Goodly) Way

Drives away all evil ways,

From that goodly Way,

All goodly deeds arises

Of that Sanmarga,

Sakti indeed the Mistress is.

 

 

1230: Source--Knowledge of Mukti Finite

 

None except Sakti, Siva and (I) Jiva know

The Source of Mukti Finite;

When you meditate constant on Sakti

That as Aum ripens,

That the Way sure

To enter the Center aloft Sahasrara.

 

 

1231: Seek Sakti and Conquer Fate

 

Think not of this and that

And waste not your lives;

Those who reach to the Goodly Lady

Of flower bedecked tresses

In the Moon's sphere whence ambrosia flows

And there pray,

Well may they decreed Fate conquer.

 

 

1232: She is Conqueror Supreme

 

Well may they decreed Fate conquer,

Well may they Karmaic Pasa conquer,

Well may they desire-ridden Senses conquer,

Well may all these know

The Lady that conquers all.

 

 

1233: Sakti and Siva are in Letters Fifty-One

 

In letters Fifty and One

Sakti and Siva as one stand;

Thus was it through Time interminable;

That the State how

The Lady of flower laden tresses and Her Lord

Of yore have been,

Verily, verily is this true.

 

 

1234: Jnana Through Letters Fifty-One

 

When Sakti and Siva united

All creation, without seed, arose;

And thus was it with the Fifty-one Letter-Beings,

Acquiring Jnana, Jivas Perfection attained.
