TANTRA Four  Verses  1045 - 1060 of 1418

 

 

5 SAKTI-BHEDA--TIRIPURAI CHAKRA 

 

1045: The Inner Meaning of Six-Pointed Chakra

 

Mamaya, Maya, Baindava, Vaikari,

Pranava (AUM), the Inner Light (Ajapa)

Thus are Mantras in clusters six,

Where Sakti resides;

There and beyond them

Is Tiripurai.

 

 

1046: Manifestations of Tiripurai

 

Tiripurai, Sundari, Andhari,

Kum-Kum, Pari Parai, Narani,

The dark hued Easi, Manonmani

Thus of forms diverse and hues many,

One Sakti manifests several.

 

 

1047: Blessings of Tiripurai

 

In the Three Cities--(Triangle)--of themselves arose,

Of three forms, the One She is;

Of color gold, red, and white She is,

Knowledge, enjoyment and Mukti she grants.

 

 

1048: Tiripurai Grants Grace and Jnana

 

Tiripurai confers Nada, Nadanta states

She as Para Bindu expands,

And to the cosmic Universes gives rise,

She is Parai, Abhirami, Agochari

She grants Her love of Grace,

And Jnana as well.

 

 

1049: Tiripurai's Form

 

On Her Feet She wears anklets,

She adorns red silk dress,

Her breasts are in corsets contained,

She sports arrows of flowers,

And bow of sugarcane,

And mighty goad-noose strings;

On Her lovely head She wears the diadem

On Her ears She wears Kundalas

Of bluish radiant gems.

 

 

1050: Tiripurai as Chandika

 

Her ears sport Kundalas;

Her brows are shaped like bow that kills

Of ruddy hue is Her Form magnificient,

Necklace of Rudraksha beads, garland of flowers and glowing Crown,

Where the crescent moon beams forth

Thus adorned, She, the Chandika,

Stands supporting directions four.

 

 

1051: Tiripurai is Seated on Lotus

 

Tiripurai who thus stood is Puradhani,

She is Mohini whose beauty wanes not

On the crown of her tresses is Damsel Ganga,

Her eyes perceive Jnana true,

Karidani who attracts in directions four,

She is the Pure, seated on circle of lotus pure.

 

 

1052: Tiripurai is Atom Within Atom

 

On Her fulsome breasts,

She wears garland fragrant,

She is Source of Bliss;

She is Substance Primal,

She is Maya,

She is Uma,

She is Sakti;

She is Maha Parai;

She is all these,

And She is atom within atom;

She is Self-manifest Form divine,

She is Jnana embodied.

 

 

1053: Nothing Except Her

 

None the Celestials that know Her not,

None the tapas rare that is not for Her,

Except Her, Five Gods nothing perform,

Except Her, I know not,

How to reach City Salvation.

 

 

1054: What the Wise Say of Her

 

They who know say, Parasakti is Bliss;

They who know say, She is Formless,

They who know say, all action from Her desire flows;

They who know say, Param is in Her.

 

 

1055: Tiripurai is Everywhere

 

Where Lord is, there His consort Mahadevi is,

Where there is fleshy body, there She is as Life protective;

Where there is space, there She is;

And beyond too;

She is everywhere,

Lordly over things all.

 

 

1056: Tiripurai is Power That Sustains

 

Parasakti, Maha Sakti, She is;

In ways countless She is Power that supports all,

She is Sakti pervasive,

She is Sakti that protects through timeless aeons,

She is Supreme Pleasure that all blessings confers,

This you know not.

 

 

1057: She is Support for Devotees' Jnana

 

From Her emanates all enjoyments,

She is of curly tresses that Grace grants,

She is Para Sakti that shares Siva's Form,

She stands as support

For tender Jnana Vine,

That Her devotees daily in their hearts grow.

 

 

1058: Tiripurai Hold Dear in Heart

 

She is support of life

She is Lady of bouncing breasts,

She adorns fragrant flowers on Her tresses,

She is the One that Celestials seek,

She is the nymph of red coral hue

In faith intense, I hold Her, dear in my heart.

 

 

1059: Paraparai With Ten Faces Creates and Moves All

 

The Parai, Primal Paraparai, with faces ten

All things created, all life diverse;

She moves my mind, intellect, will and thought

She is Sakti, and Mistress of Jnana Divine.

 

 

1060: Tiripurai is Mistress of World

 

She is the Mistress of Worlds,

She rules over my heart,

She performs tapas continuous,

She is lovely as peacock,

She is Virgin, all knowledge-conquered,

In my heart, She stands filled.
