Jagadguru Swami Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s Immortal Creation.

Mantram-35.

Manas tvam vyoma tvam marud asi marut saarathir asi

Tvam aastvam bhoomis tvayi parinathayam na hi param;

Tvam eva svatmanam parinamayithum visva-vapusha

Chidanand'aakaram Shiva-yuvati-bhaavena bibhrushe.

Bhashyam (Vyakyanam ) :

Air you are, Fire you are,

Water you are, Earth you are,

And you are the universe, mother,

There is nothing except you in the world,

But to make believe your form as the universe,

You take the role of wife of Shiva,

And appear before us in the form of ethereal happiness.

You are mind, you are space, you are air, you are fire, 

you are water (and) you are earth. When you have transformed 

(thus), there is nothing else indeed. You yourself to transform 

your own self into the universe, bear the form of conciousness - 

bliss by intention, Oh wife of Siva! 

 

Note : This is the view of the Uttarakaulas : the 

absolute dominance of Sakti. 

(Sakti is the micro and macrocosmic universe. 

 Siva is all pervasive, within and  without.
