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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
peaceful, is, indeed, “Jīvanmukta”. (67)
बोध्यमानः स गुरुणा परकायेन सर्वदा।
तच्छुश्रूषारतः शिष्यः शुश्रूषुरिति कीर्त्यते।।६८।।
Being instructed always by the Guru who is the
Parakāya (he who has the Supreme Śiva as his body), the
disciple is called Śuśrūṣu, as he is ever fond of hearing
(serving) the Guru. (68)
किं सत्यं किं नु वास्तवं क आत्मा कः परः
शिवः।
इति श्रवणसंसक्तो गुरोः शिष्यो विशिष्यते।।६९।।
What is the truth? What is the untruth? Who is
Ātman? Who is the Supreme Śiva? The disciple who is
interested in hearing the answers to the above questions, is
superior to all. (69)
श्रुत्वा श्रुत्वा गुरोर्वाक्यं शिवसाक्षात्क्रियावहम्।
उपशाम्यति यः स्वान्ते स मुक्तिपदमाप्नुयात्।।७०।।
He who, having heard repeatedly the words of the Guru
which lead to the realisation of Śiva, becomes calm inside,
can attain to the state of liberation. (70)
न बुध्यति गुरोर्वाक्यं विना शिष्यस्य मानसम्।
तेजो विना सहस्रांशोः कथं स्फुरति पङ्कजम्।।७१।।
Without the teaching of the Guru, the mind of the
disciple does not wake up. How can the lotus bloom without
the rays of the sun?(71)
सूर्यस्योदयमात्रेण सूर्यकान्तः प्रकाशते।
गुरोरालोकमात्रेण शिष्यो बोधेन भासते।।७२।।
Just by the rise of the sun, the “Sūryakānta” stone
begins to shine. Just by the Look of the Guru, the disciple is
brightened with knowlege. (72)
अद्वैतपरमानन्दप्रबोधैकप्रकाशकम् ।
उपायं शृणुयाच्छिष्यः सद्गुरुं प्राप्य प्राञ्जलिः।।७३।।
The disciple should approach with folded hands the
worthy Guru and hear from him the means which singularly
reveals the experience of the bliss of non-duality (with Śiva).
(73)
किं तत्त्वं परमं ज्ञेयं केन सर्वे प्रतिष्ठिताः।
कस्य साक्षात्क्रिया मुक्तिः कथयेति समासतः।।७४।।
Which is the Supreme Principle (Reality) to be known?
By whom all are sustained. Whose realisation is Mukti? Tell
me in brief. (74)
इति प्रश्ने कृते पूर्वं शिष्येण नियतात्मना।
ब्रूयात्तत्त्वं गुरुस्तस्मै येन स्यात् संसृतेर्लयः।।७५।।
Having been first asked thus by the disciple, who is
trained in self-control, the Guru should teach the
fundamental truth by which transmigration is arrested. (75)
शिव एव परं तत्त्वं चिदानन्दसदाकृतिः।
स यथार्थस्तदन्यस्य जगतो नास्ति नित्यता।।७६।।
Śiva alone who is of the nature of intelligence, bliss and
existence, is the Supreme Truth (Entity). He is the eternal
reality and there is no eternatity in the case of the world
other than him.(76)
अयथार्थप्रपञ्चोऽयं प्रतितिष्ठति शङ्करे।
सदात्मनि यथा शुक्तौ रजतत्त्वं व्यवस्थितम्।।७७।।
This non-eternal world is stationed in Śiva, just as the
idea of silverness is stationed in the conch-shell which is of
the nature of existence. (77)
