Slokam-27. (Realisation of self and ultimate truth)

=================================================


Slokam :

"Japo jalpah shilpam sakalam api mudra-virachana

Gatih pradaksinya-kramanam asanady'ahuti-vidhih;

Pranamah samvesah sukham akilam atmarpana-drsa

Saparya-paryayas tava bhavatu yan me vilasitam."

----------------------------------------------------------------


Translation :

Japah - muttered prayers

jalpah - speech

shilpam - manual tasks

sakalam api - and all

mudra-virachana - the symbolic arrangement of fingers in worship

Gatih- the gait

pradaksinya-kramanam - the steps of circambulation of the deity

asanady' - food etc.

ahuti-vidhih; - the method of offering oblations

Pranamah - salutation

samvesah - sleep

sukham akilam - all that is facile

atmarpana-drsa - from the point of view of offering the self

Saparya-paryayas - synonymous with worship

tava bhavatu - let it be to you

yan me vilasitam."  - that which is manifested in me

---------------------------------------------------------------


Commentary :

Let speech be muttered prayers, and all manual tasks the symbolic arrangement of fingers in worship, let gait be the steps of circumambulation of the deity, let food etc. be the method of offering oblations, let sleep be salutation, let all that is facilely manifested in me be synonymous with worship to you from the point of view of offering the self (in worship).


(The devotee offers all bodily functions to Sakti. Slokam- 27 : The devotee offers his mind to Siva).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Conclusion :

Let the mutterings that I do, With the sacrifice in my soul.

Become chanting of your name, Let all my movements become thine Mudhras, Let my travel become perambulations around thee, Let the act of eating and drinking become fire sacrifice to thee, Let my act of sleeping becomes salutations to you , And let all actions of pleasure of mine, Become parts of thine worship.

End.

5. Mutual attraction between male and female:   Haris tvam aradhya pranata-jana-saubhagya-jananim Pura nari bhutva Pura-ripum api ksobham anayat; Smaro'pi tvam natva rati-nayana-lehyena vapusha Muninam apyantah prabhavati hi mohaya mahatam.        You who grant all the good things,  To those who bow at your feet,  Was worshipped by the Lord Vishnu,  Who took the pretty lovable feminine form,  And could move the mind of he who burnt the cities,  And make him fall in love with him.  And the God of love , Manmatha,  Took the form which is like nectar,  Drunk by the eyes by Rathi his wife,  After venerating you,  Was able to create passion ,  Even in the mind of Sages the great.
