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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
पराकाशस्वरूपेण प्रकाशः परमेश्वरः।
हृदाकाशगुहालीनो दृश्यतेऽन्तः शरीरिणाम्।।५५।।
This body which is illumined by enlightenment is said to
be a temple which is constructed with thirty-six principles
(form Śiva to Bhūmi) and which is endowed with a lotus-seat
in the form of pure mind. Parameśvara is realised inside by
the accomplished Souls as appearing in the form of the
supreme ether of consciousness residing in the cave in the
form of the cavity of the heart of the embodied beings. (54-
55)
एतच्छिवपुरं प्रोक्तं सप्तधातुसमावृतम्।
अत्र हृत्पङ्कजं वेश्म सूक्ष्माम्बरमनोहरम्।।५६।।
तत्र सन्निहितः साक्षात् सच्चिदानन्दलक्षणः।
नित्यसिद्धः प्रकाशात्मा जलस्थाकाशवच्छिवः।।५७।।
This (body) is said to be the city of Śiva bound by the
seven essential ingredients (saptadātavaḥ.). In that the lotus
of the heart which is charming with subtle ether, is the
abode. In that remains actually Śiva who is always bound
there ever effulgent like the ether reflected in (clear) water.
(56-57)
अन्तराकाशबिम्बस्थमशेषोपाधिवर्जितम् ।
घटाकाश इव च्छिन्नं भावयेच्चिन्मयं शिवम्।।५८।।
Paraśiva who is of the nature of consciousness residing
in the heart-lotus inside free from all external adjuncts,
should be cherished (contemplated) as divided like the sky
limited by the pot. (58)
यथाकाशो विभुर्ज्ञेयः सर्वप्राण्युपरि स्थितः।
तथात्मेत्युपमानार्थं बिन्द्वाकाशस्थलं विदुः।।५९।।
Just as the ether can be known as all-pervasive and as
spreading above all the beings, so does the Ātman
knowable—thus as a means of comparison, this
Bindvākāśasthala is grasped. (59)
यथैको वायुराख्यातः सर्वप्रणिगतो विभुः।
तथात्मा व्यापकः साक्षात् सर्वप्राणिगतः स्वयम्।।६०।।
यथा वह्नेरमेयात्मा सर्वत्रैकोऽपि भासते।
तथा शम्भुः समस्तात्मा परिच्छेदविवर्जितः।।६१।।
सर्वेषां देहिनामन्तश्चित्ततोऽयं प्रकाशते।
तस्मिन् प्रतिफलत्यात्मा शिवो दर्पणवद् विभुः।।६२।।
एको वशीकृतः संवित्प्रकाशात्मा परात्परः।
सर्वप्राणिगतो भाति तथापि विभुरुच्यते।।६३।।
Just as one air, which is all pervasive, is said to have
asumed the life-breath of the beings, so the Ātman who is all-
peraśive, has himself been residing in all the beings. (60) Just
as one fire which is of immeasurable form, shines
everywhere, so is Śiva who is the Self of all, free from
division. (61) The heart-lotus resides in all the beings like a
mirror. Therein Śiva, who is all-pervaśive, gets reflected as
the Self. (62) Śiva, who is higher than the highest, who is
independent, who is of the nature of bright consciousness
and who is residing in all the beings, is still called all-
pervasive. (63)
एक एव यथा सूर्यस्तेजसा भाति सर्वगः।
तथात्मा शक्तिभेदेन शिवः सर्वगतो भवेत्।।६४।।
Just as one and only sun shines everywhere with his
lustre, so does Śiva, the Ātman, reside everywhere through
the diversification of his Śaktis. (64)
पिण्डाण्डस्थं महाकाशं न भिन्नं तद्वदात्मनः।
