Jagadguru Swami Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s Immortal Creation.

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


Entering to another body :


"Sva-deh'odbhutabhir ghrnibhir animadyabhir abhito

Nishevye nitye tvamahamiti sada bhavayati yah;

Kim-ascharyam tasya tri-nayana-samrddhim trinayato

Maha-samvartagnir virchayati nirajana-vidhim."




animadyabhir  =  Anima (capacity for atomic reduction) and others (the eight superhuman powers or Siddhis, personified as godesses) 


abhito  = surrounded by 


Nishevye  =  Oh one worthy of adoration! (Sakti)  


nitye =  Oh eternal one! (Sakti) 


tvam-aham-iti  =  you as the self (the aphorisitic declaration  


sada  =  always 


bhavayati  =  meditates  


yah  =  he who


Kim-ascharyam  =  Oh how wonderful! 


tasya  =  to him 


tri-nayana-samrddhim  =  the wealth of absorption into the three eyed one (Siva)


trinayat  =   as equivalent to (but a piece of) straw


Maha-samvartagnir  =  the great fire of dissolution 


virchayati  =  performs 


nirajana-vidhim  =  the ceremony of waving lights (as an act of adoration to the deity)  


Summary :


It is not surprising to know, Oh mother, Who does not have birth and death, And who is most suitable to be served, That the destroying fire of the deluge, Shows prayerful harathi to the one.


Who considers you, (Who is of the form of rays, And is surrounded on all four sides, By the angels of power called Anima,) As his soul always, And who considers the wealth of the three eyed God, As worthless and as equal to dried grass.

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

Oh one worthy of adoration! Oh eternal one! he who constantly meditates on you, who is surrounded by the light rays of Anima and others generated from your own body, as the self, to him (the devotee) who considers the wealth of absorption into Siva as equivalent to (but) a piece of straw, the great fire of dissolution performs the ceremony of waving lights. Oh how wonderful!


The devotee of Sakti considers himself superior to Siva. The devotee of Siva considers himself inferior to the celestial devotees

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.
