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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
The wearing of the Liṅga is a merit and the destoryer of
all sin. It is accepted by all the sages who are adept in Āgamas.
(29)
लिङ्गधारणमाख्यातं द्विधा सर्वार्थसाधकैः।
बाह्यमाभ्यन्तरं चेति मुनिभिर्मोक्षकाङ्क्षिभिः।।३०।।
liṅgadhāraṇamākhyātaṁ dvidhā sarvārthasādhakaiḥ |
bāhyamābhyantaraṁ ceti munibhirmokṣakāṅkṣibhiḥ ||30||
Liṅgadhāraṇa is said to be twofold as external and
internal by the sages who accomplish all objects and who aspire
for liberation. (30)
चिद्रूपं परमं लिङ्गं शाङ्करं सर्वकारणम्।
यत्तस्य धारणं चित्ते तदान्तरमुदाहृतम्।।३१।।
cidrūpaṁ paramaṁ liṅgaṁ śāṅkaraṁ sarvakāraṇam |
yattasya dhāraṇaṁ citte tadāntaramudāhṛtam ||31||
What constitutes the bearing in mind of the Supreme
Liṅga of Śiva which is of the nature of intelligence and which
is the cause of all, is said to be internal (Dīkṣā). (31)
चिद्रूपं हि परं तत्त्वं शिवाख्यं विश्वकारणम्।
निरस्तविश्वकालुष्यं निष्कलं निर्विकल्पकम्।।३२।।
सत्तानन्दपरिस्फूर्तिसमुल्लासकलामयम्।
अप्रमेयमनिर्देश्यं मुमुक्षुभिरुपासितम्।।३३।।
परं ब्रह्म महालिङ्गं प्रपञ्चातीतमव्ययम्।
cidrūpaṁ hi paraṁ tattvaṁ śivākhyaṁ viśvakāraṇam |
nirastaviśvakāluṣyaṁ niṣkalaṁ nirvikalpakam ||32||
sattānandaparisphūrtisamullāsakalāmayam |
aprameyamanirdeśyaṁ mumukṣubhirupāsitam ||33||
paraṁ brahma mahāliṅgaṁ prapañcātītamavyayam ||34||
The Supreme Principle called Śiva is of the nature of
intelligence, the cause of the universe, free from all defects,
without parts, without differences, endowed with the lustre
developed through the manifestation of existence and bliss,
beyond all means of knowledge, beyond identification, sought
after by the aspirants of liberation, the Supreme Brahman,
the Mahāliṅga, beyond the worlds and inexhaustible. (32-34)
तदेव सर्वभूतानामन्तस्त्रिस्थानगोचरम्।।३४।।
मूलाधारे च हृदये भ्रूमध्ये सर्वदेहिनाम्।
ज्योतिर्लिङ्गं सदा भाति यद्ब्रह्मेत्याहुरागमाः।।३५।।
tadeva sarvabhūtānamantastristhānagocaram ||34||
mūlādhāre ca hṛdaye bhrūmadhye sarvadehinām |
jyotirliṅgaṁ sadā bhāti vadbrahmetyāhurāgamāḥ ||35||
That (Mahāliṅga) itself is found in three places in the
bodies of all beings. In the Mūlādhāra (the region two inches
above the anus), the heart and the region between the eye-
brows of all beings, Jyotirliṅga (Liṅga in the form of lustre),
which is called as Brahman by the Āgamas, shines at all times.
(34-35)
अपरिच्छिन्नमव्यक्तं लिङ्गं ब्रह्म सनातनम्।
उपासनार्थमन्तःस्थं परिच्छिन्नं स्वमायया।।३६।।
aparicchinnamavyaktaṁ liṅgaṁ brahma sanātanam |
upāsanārthamantaḥsthaṁ paricchinnaṁ svamāyayā ||36||
The Liṅga which is undivided and unmanifest and which
is the beginningless Brahman, gets itself divided through its
Māyāśakti so that it gets worshipped by residing inside, (the
body). (36)
लयं गच्छति यत्रैव जगदेतच्चराचरम्।
पुनः पुनः समुत्पत्तिं तल्लिङ्गं ब्रह्म शाश्वतम्।।३७।।
layaṁ gacchati yatraiva jagadetaccarācaram |
punaḥ punaḥ samutpattiṁ
talliṅgaṁ brahma śāśvatam ||37||
