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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
शिवोऽहमिति भावेन शिवे साक्षात्कृते स्थिरम्।
मुक्तो भवीत संसारान्मोहग्रन्थेर्विभेदतः।।७८।।
When Śiva is realised with a firm conception that "I am Śiva", one attains liberation with the knot of delusion in the form of transmigration cut off. (78)
शिवं भावय चात्मानं शिवादन्यं न चिन्तय।
एवं स्थिरे शिवाव्दैते जीवन्मुक्तो भविष्यसि।।७९।।
(The Guru says): "Realise your Self as Śiva. Do not think of anything other than Śiva. When the non-duality with Śiva is firm, you will become liberated even while you are alive". (79)
एवं प्रचोदितः शिष्यो गुरुणा गुणशालिना।
शिवमेव जगत् पश्यन् जीवन्मुक्तोऽभिजायते।।८०।।
Having been urged like this by the Guru who is endowed with merits, the disciple, looking upon the world as Śiva, becomes "Jīvanmukta" (80)
गुरुवाक्यामृतास्वादात् प्राप्तबोधमहाफलः।
शुश्रूषुरेव सर्वेषां सेव्यत्वात् सेव्य उच्यते।।८१।।
The Śuśrūṣu himself who has abtained the great reward in the form of knowledge through the tasting of the nectar in the form of Guru’s teaching, is called "Sevya" because he is worthy to be served by all. (81)
गुरूपदिष्टे विज्ञाने चेतसि स्थिरतां गते।
साक्षात्कृतशिवः शिष्यो गुरुवत् पूज्यते सदा।।८२।।
The disciple (Sevya) who has the actual sight of Śiva in himself when the special knowledge imparted by the Guru becomes steady in his mind, should be always worshipped like the Guru. (82)
ज्ञानादाधिक्यसम्पत्तिर्गुरोर्यस्मादुपस्थिता ।
तस्माज्ज्ञानागमाच्छिष्यो गुरुवत् पूज्यतां व्रजेत्।।८३।।
By virtue of the dawn of that knowledge by which the excess of awareness had come to the Guru, the disciple attains to the state of being worshipped like the Guru.(83)
शिवोऽहमिति भावस्य नैरन्तर्याद् विशेषतः।
शिवभावे समुत्पन्ने शिववत् पूज्य एव सः।।८४।।
When the nature of Śiva springs up in the disciple by virtue of uninterrupted cherishing of the notion, "I am Śiva", he is worthy to be worshipped like Śiva. (84)
विषयासक्तचित्तोऽपि विषयसङ्गवर्जितः।
शिवभावयुतो योगी सेव्यः शिव इवापरः।।८५।।
Although his mind is attached to the objects of senses, he is free from the associations with the objects, the Yogin who is endowed with the nature of Śiva is worthy to be served like another Śiva. (85)
मुक्तः संशयपाशतः स्थिरमना बोधे च मुक्तिप्रदे
मोहं देहभृतां दृशा विघटयन् मूलं महासंसृतेः।
सत्तानन्दचिदात्मके निरुपमे शैवे परस्मिन् पदे
लीनात्मा क्षयितप्रपञ्चविभवो योगी जनैः सेव्यते।।८६।।
इति श्रीमत्षट्स्थलद्रह्मिणा शिवयोगिनाम्ना
विरचिते वीरशैवधर्मनिर्णये श्रीसिद्धान्तशिखामणौ
प्रसादिस्थलाश्रितनवलिङ्गप्रसङ्गो
नाम सप्तदशः परिच्छेदः समाप्तः ।।१७।।
The Yogin who is free from the fetters of doubts, who is firm-minded in respect of the knowledge giving rise to
