Tirumantiram
English translation of the Tamil Spiritual Classic by Saint Tirumular
TANTRA Four Verses 899 - 913 of 1418
899: The Two Became Several
The Seven Thousand mantras became Fifty
And then into the Seven with endings diverse,
Thus of the Seven Thousand mantras chanted,
That are beyond thought,
Have as vital the Seven and Two in the ultimate.
900: All Mantras Contained in Two-Letter Mantra
Seven Thousand mantras there exist;
But none, of this potent divine;
This the mantra that is Siva's Holy Form;
And all mantra is in this contained.
901: Letters A and U are Tattva Dance
He is unto Himself in His Dance;
He stands as A and U;
He is the One for Mayaic Dance of Tattvas;
He dances the Dance, peerless here below.
902: The Dance Transforms Jiva Into Siva
The Dance in Letters Two
It is the Dance joyous;
It is the Dance of dissolution;
It is the Dance that leads to bliss;
It is the Dance that is Siva Linga
It is the alchemy that transforms
The coppery Jiva into golden Siva.
903: Sivaya Nama Purifies and Transforms Jiva
Chant "Sivaya Nama;"
Copper turns into gold;
The Chit Para there exists,
Turns copper into gold
Chant "Srim" and "Krim;"
Copper turns into gold;
The Holy Temple alchemises
Copper into gold.
904: How Tiru Ambala Chakra is Formed
Fashion Tiruvambala Chakra thus;
Draw six lines each, vertical and horizontal,
Thus form squares twenty and five,
And in each inscribing Letters Five
Meditate continuous.
905: Chant Sivaya Nama and Behold Dance
This the way to chant:
Sivaya Nama, Sivaya Nama;
If you chant that way,
No more birth will be;
With Lord's Grace,
You shall behold the Eternal Dance;
And copper (that is Jiva) turns into gold (that is Siva).
906: Chant Sivaya Nama in Silence
This mantra is golden;
Chant it not loud,
Just say it;
Your body glows red,
If you take it in slow,
As you breath in,
Your body becomes gold;
And in time,
Shall you behold the Golden Feet of Lord.
907: Chant Sivaya Nama and Behold Golden Feet
You shall behold the Golden Feet
You shall have children noble;
In the name of that Golden Feet I say,
The copper that is Jiva,
Will become gold that is Siva;
And as you behold the Golden Feet,
You too shall His Form assume;
Center the mantra in your thoughts,
And witness the goodly Dance of Golden Feet.
908: Chant Sivaya Nama and Attain Siddhis
You may easy transmigrate into any body;
The goodly Sakti will your companion be;
If you chant the mantra,
The fiery snake of Pasa will leave you;
That mantra is the secret of the Holy Dance,
Chant it unceasing.
909: Chant Sivaya Nama and Enjoy Bliss of Siva
It is the Sukshma (Subtle) mantra;
Chant it eight thousand times;
You shall see the (Sushumna) Path Subtle,
You may enjoy the bliss of Siva
That is subtlest of all.
910: Sivaya Nama are of the Life-Vowels Five and Seminal Sounds Five
One the Supreme Bliss,
One the Supreme Bliss,
Thus chant the mantra
You shall have Bliss,
Bliss has its source in Letters Five;
A-I-U-E and Aum the life vowels they are;
They become the Five Letter mantra
And joy that is within joy;
Bliss lies in the seed-letters Five;
Hum-Hrim-Ham-Ksam-Am, are they.
911: Two Letters Become Five Letters
The Two Letter mantra is Body of Lord
Chant it inarticulate;
As the Two suffuse your body,
You stand transformed;
The Two Letters that are Lord's Corpus
Become Five Letters that is Jiva;
U-A-I-E-O
The Two Letters that are Lord's Corpus
Become the Five Letters that is Siva Dance
I-O-U-A-E.
912: Dance Vowels Become Five Letter Mantra
The Dance-Letters Si Va Ya become Namasivaya
The Dance-Letters I, U, A, E and O(m) become Sivaya Nama
The Dance-Letters I, U, A, E and O(m) become Si Va Ya Nama
The Dance-Letters I, U, A, E and O(m) become the stellar mantra Nama Sivaya*
913: The Dance of Ruby
He danced as One, alone
He danced as Two, with Sakti
He danced as several, all life in;
He danced in Three, Sun, Moon and Fire;
He danced in Seven, the worlds that are;
He danced on one Foot;
He danced in Saktis Nine;
He danced in arena that is Space;
He danced the Dance of Ruby.
