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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
द्रष्टव्यं विद्यते नान्यच्छ्रोतव्यं ज्ञेयमेव वा।।१५।।
When that supreme bliss without the limitations of
place and time, is experienced, there remains nothing to be
seen, to be heard or to be known. (15)
आत्मानन्देन तृप्तस्य का स्पृहा विषये सुखे।
गङ्गाजलेन तृप्तस्य कूपतोये कुतो रतिः।।१६।।
When he is satisfied with the bliss of the Ātman, what
desire can he have towards the pleasure arising from the
sense-objects? To one who is satisfied with the water of
Gaṅgā, how can there be any interest in the water of the
well? (16)
यस्मिन्नप्राप्तकल्लोले सुखसिन्धौ निमज्जति।
सामरस्यान्महायोगी तस्य सीमा कुतो भवेत्।।१७।।
In that ocean of bliss without having any waves in which
the Yogin merges himself, where can he have any limit to it?
(17)
गुरुप्रसादचन्द्रेण निष्कलङ्केन चारुणा।
यन्मनःकुमुदं नित्यबोधितं तस्य को भ्रमः।।१८।।
The night lotus in the form of the mind of that
Śivayogin, which is without any spot and which is charming,
is made to bloom by the moon in the form of the gracious
favour of the Guru. What delusion could there be in such a
Yogin? (18)
तदैक्यसम्पदानन्दज्ञानं ज्ञानगुरुर्मतः।
तत्सामरस्यं शिष्यस्य ज्ञानपादोदकं विदुः।।१९।।
That blissful enlightenment of the treasure of spiritual
unity (with Śiva, the Cosmic Soul) is said to be Jñānaguru
(Knowledge as Guru). The state of communion (sāmarasya)
between Jñāna and Ānanda, is called as
“Jñānapādodakasthala” (the accomplishment of supreme
bliss through the realisation of cosmic unity) for the disciple.
(19)
अविद्याराहुनिर्मुक्तो ज्ञानचन्द्रः सुनिर्मलः।
प्रकाशते पराकाशे परानन्दमहाद्युतिः।।२०।।
The spotless moon of self-realisation, which is free
from the Rāhu of ignorance and which is filled with the
brightest lustre of supreme bliss, shines on the heart-ether of
the Śivayogin. (20)
अज्ञानमेघनिर्मुक्तः पूर्णज्ञानसुधाकरः।
आनन्दजलधेर्वृद्धिमनुपश्यन् विभासते।।२१।।
The full moon of spiritual knowledge, who is uncovered
by the cloud of ignorance, shines looking at the rising of the
ocean of bliss. (21)
ज्ञानचन्द्रोदये जाते ध्वस्तमोहतमोभराः।
पश्यन्ति परमां काष्ठां योगिनः सुखरूपिणीम्।।२२।।
When the moon in the form of the knowledge of Śiva in
Self-realisation arises, the Yogins in whom the mass of
darkness in the form of infatuation is totally eradicated,
experience the extreme limit consisting in bliss. (22)
मायारजन्या विरमे बोधसूर्ये प्रकाशिते।
निरस्तसर्वव्यापारश्चित्रं स्वपिति संयमी।।२३।।
When the night of Māyā ends and when the sun of
enlightenment shines, the sage astonishingly sleeps with all
his activities arrested. (23)
अनाद्यविद्याविच्छित्तिवेलायां परयोगिनः।
प्रकाशते परानन्दः प्रपञ्चेन विना कृतः।।२४।।
At the time of the slashing of the beginningless
