सिद्धान्तशिखामणि (शिवयोगी रेणुकाचार्य - वीरशैव षट्स्थल दर्शन एवं शक्तिविशिष्टाद्वैत महाग्रन्थ)

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
धर्म एव समस्तानां यतः संसिद्धिकारकम्।
निस्पृहोऽपि महायोगी धर्ममार्गं च न त्यजेत्।।६४।।
Since the code of pious duties is the cause for all
accomplishments, even the great Yogin, although he is
without desire, should not give up the path of Dharma.(64)
ज्ञानामृतेन तृप्तोऽपि योगी धर्मं न संत्यजेत्।
आचारं महतां दृष्ट्वा प्रवर्तन्ते हि लौकिकाः।।६५।।
Although contented with the ambrosia of knowledge,
the Yogin should not relinquish religious practices
(Dharma), for, it is by the example of the pious practices of
the great that the ordinary persons act.(65)
सदाचारप्रियः शम्भुः सदाचारेण पूज्यते।
सदाचारं विना तस्य प्रसादो नैव जायते।।६६।।
Śiva is fond of virtuous practices. He is worshipped by
virtuous practices. Without pious practices His favour
cannot be obtained. (66)
भाव एवास्य सर्वेषां भावाचारः प्रकीर्तितः।
भावो मानसचेष्टात्मा परिपूर्णः शिवाश्रयः।।६७।।
His (Śivayogin's) mental actions with Śivabhāva (faith
in Śiva) are said to be “Bhāvācāra” (Precepts of faith) for
all. “Bhāva” is mental action, marked with perfection and
rested in Śiva.(67)
भावनाविहितं कर्म पावनादपि पावनम्।
तस्माद् भावनया युक्तं परधर्मं समाचरेत्।।६८।।
The Karman guided by Bhāvā is the holiest among the
holy. Hence one should practise the pious observances of
the Parayogin always endowed with Bhāvanā. (68)
भावेन हि मनःशुद्धिर्भावशुद्धिश्च कर्मणा।
इति सञ्चिन्त्य मनसा योगी भावं न सन्त्यजेत्।।६९।।
Mind becomes pure through devotional feeling; the
devotional feeling becomes pure by deeds of worship.
Having thought like this, the Yogin should not give up Bhāva.
(69)
शिवभावनया सर्वं नित्यनैमित्तिकादिकम्।
कुर्वन्नपि महायोगी गुणदोषैर्न बाध्यते।।७०।।
Even performing actions of the daily as well as of the
occasional type, the great Yogin is not affected by the merit
or the demerit.(70)
अन्तः प्रकाशमानस्य संवित्सूर्यस्य सन्ततम्।
भावेन यदुपस्थानं तत्सन्ध्यावन्दनं विदुः।।७१।।
The rendering of service (worship) with pure feeling to
the sun in the form of consciousness which is incessantly
shining inside, is regarded as “Sandhyāvandana”.(71)
आत्मज्योतिषि सर्वेषां विषयाणां समर्पणम्।
अन्तर्मुखेन भावेन होमकर्मेति गीयते।।७२।।
The offering of all the objects of senses into the fire of
consciousness through their conceptions turned inwards, is
called the “Homa-karma” (offering of oblations). (72)
भावयेत् सर्वकर्माणि नित्यनैमित्तिकानि च।
शिवप्रीतिकराण्येव सङ्गराहित्यसिद्धये।।७३।।
In order to attain the state of absence of all
attachments, the Yogin should assume all the actions, daily
as well as occasional, as those that are pleasing to Śiva. (73)
शिवे निवेश्य सकलं कार्याकार्यं विवेकतः।
वर्तते यो महाभागः स सङ्गरहितो भवेत्।।७४।।
