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

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
That into which the movable and the immovable world
is merged and from which it is born again and again, is the
Liṅga, the eternal Brahman. (37)
तस्माल्लिङ्गमिति ख्यातं सत्तानन्दचिदात्मकम्।
बृहत्वाद् बृंहणत्वाच्च ब्रह्मशब्दाभिधेयकम्।।३८।।
tasmlliṅgamiti khyātaṁ sattānandacidātmakam |
brhatvād brhanatvācca brahmaśabdbhidhevakam ||38||
Hence it is called Liṅga which is of the nature of
existence, bliss and intelligence. It is designated as Brahman
because of its nature of largeness and enlargement. (38)
आधारे हृदये वापि भ्रूमध्ये वा निरन्तरम्।
ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानुसन्धानमान्तरं लिङ्गधारणम्।।३९।।
ādhāre hṛdaye vāpi bhrkmadhye vā nirantaram |
ivotirlingānusandhānamāntaram lingadhāranam ||39||
The concentration on or the cherishing of the Jyotirliṅga
in the Mūlādhāra, the heart or the region between the eye-
brows, constitutes the internal Liṅgadhāraṇa (initiation). (39)
आधारे कनकप्रख्यं हृदये विद्रुमप्रभम्।
भ्रूमध्ये स्फटिकच्छायं लिङ्गं योगी विभावयेत्।।४०।।
ādhāre kanakaprakhyaṁ hṛdaye vidrumaprabham|
bhrūmadhve sphamikacchāyaṁ
liṅgaṁ vogī vibhāvavet ||40||
The Yogin should cherish the Liṅga as of golden hue in
the Mūlādhāra, as of coralline lustre in the heart and as of
crystalline lustre in the region between the eye-brows. (40)
निरुपाधिकमाख्यातं लिङ्गस्यान्तरधारणम्।
विशिष्टं कोटिगुणितं बाह्यलिङ्गस्य धारणात्।।४१।।
ये धारयन्ति हृदये लिङ्गं चिद्रूपमैश्वरम्।
न तेषां पुनरावृत्तिर्घोरसंसारमण्डले।।४२।।
nirupādhikamākhyātaṁ lingasyāntaradhāraṇam |
viśistam kotigunitaṁ bāhvalingasva dhāranāt ||41||
ye dhārayanti hrdaye lingaṁ cidrūpamaiśvaram |
na tesāṁ punarāvrttirghorasaṁsāramandale ||42||
The internal Liṅgadhāraṇa is said to be Nirupādhika
(one without any external factor) Liṅgadhāraṇa. Those who
wear (cherish) the Liṅga, which is of the nature of
consciousness and which is related to Śiva, in the heart, would
never come within the range of terrible transmigration. (41-
42)
अन्तर्लिङ्गानुसन्धानमात्मविद्यापरिश्रमः।
गुरूपासनशक्तिश्च कारणं मोक्षसम्पदाम्।।४३।।
antarliṅgānusandhānamātmavidyāpariśramaḥ |
gurūdāsanāśaktiśca kāranam moksasampadām ||43||
The cherishing of the Liṅga inside, the experience of
self - knowledge and the power derived from Guru's worship,
constitute the cause for the wealth of liberation. (43)
वैराग्यज्ञानयुक्तानां योगिनां स्थिरचेतसाम्।
अन्तर्लिङ्गानुसन्धाने रुचिर्बाह्ये न जायते।।४४।।
vairāgyajñānayuktānāṁ yogināṁ sthiracetasām |
antarliṅgānusandhāne rucirbāhve na iāvate ||44||
In the case of the Yogins who are endowed with
detachment and knowledge and who are of firm mind, the
interest is evinced in the concentration on the internal Liṅga
but not in the external Liṅga. (44)
ब्रह्मा विष्णुश्च रुद्रश्च वासवाद्याश्च लोकपाः।
मुनयः सिद्धगन्धर्वा दानवा मानवास्तथा।।४५।।
सर्वे च ज्ञानयोगेन सर्वकारणकारणम्।
पश्यन्ति हृदये लिङ्गं परमानन्दलक्षणम्।।४६।।
