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

86 | A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
आदितः परिशुद्धत्वान्मलत्रयवियोगतः।
शिव इत्युच्यते शम्भुश्चिदानन्दघनः प्रभुः।।८।।
āditaḥ pariśuddhatvānmalatrayaviyogataḥ |
śiva ityucyate śambhuścidānandaghanaḥ prabhuḥ ||8||
The lord Śambhu (Brahman) who is thick with
intelligence and bliss, is called Śiva because he is extremely
pure from the beginning due to his separation from the three
Malas (impurities). (8)
आस्पदत्वादाशेषाणां मङ्गलानां विशेषतः।
शिवशब्दाभिधेयो हि देवदेवस्त्रियम्बकः।।९।।
āspadatvādaśeṣāṇāṁ maṅgalānāṁ viśeṣataḥ |
śivaśabdābhidheyo hi devadevastriyambakaḥ ||9||
The God of gods, Triyambaka, is denoted by the word
Śiva because he is especially the shelter of all types of
auspiciousness. (9)
शिव इत्यक्षरद्वन्द्वं परब्रह्मप्रकाशकम्।
मुख्यवृत्त्या तदन्येषां शब्दानां गुणवृत्तयः।।१०।।
śiva ityakṣaradvandvaṁ parabrahmaprakāśakam |
mukhyavṛttyā tadanyeṣāṁ śabdānāṁ guṇavṛttayaḥ ||10||
The dissyllabic form Śiva reveals the meaning of
Parabrahman by primary function (Abhidhā) while words
other than that convey that meaning through secondary
function (Lakṣaṇā). (10)
तस्मान्मुख्यतरं नाम शिव इत्यक्षरद्वयम्।
सच्चिदानन्दरूपस्य शम्भोरमिततेजसः।।११।।
एतन्नामावलम्बेन मन्त्रः पञ्चाक्षरः स्मृतः।
tasmānmukhyataraṁ nāma śiva ityakṣaradvayam |
saccidānandarūpasya śambhoramitatejasaḥ ||11||
etannāmāvalambena mantraḥ pañcākṣaraḥ smṛtaḥ |
2. Śaivāgamas : (10) Vātulaśuddhāgama | 87
Hence, the syllabic pair Śiva is the principal name of
Śambhu, who is of the nature of existence, intelligence and
bliss and who is of infinite lustre. Depending upon this name
(Śiva), the Pañcākṣaramantra is regarded as great. (11-12)
यस्मादतः सदा जप्यो मोक्षकाङ्क्षिभिरादरात्।।१२।।
यथाऽनादिर्महादेवः सिद्धः संसारमोचकः।
तथा पञ्चाक्षरो मन्त्रः संसारक्षयकारकः।।१३।।
yasmādataḥ sadā japyo mokṣakāṅkṣibhirādarāt ||12||
yathā'nādirmahādevaḥ siddhaḥ saṁsāramocakaḥ |
tathā pañcākṣaro mantraḥ saṁsārakṣayakārakaḥ ||13||
That is why it has to be cherished with reverence by all
those who are desirous of emancipation. Just as Mahādeva
who is beginningless, is decided to be the liberator from
transmigration, so is the Pañcākṣara-mantra destroyer of
transmigration. (12-13)
पञ्चभूतानि सर्वाणि पञ्चतन्मात्रकाणि च।
ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि पञ्चापि पञ्चकर्मेन्द्रियाणि च।।१४।।
पञ्चब्रह्माणि पञ्चापि कृत्यानि सह कारणैः।
बोध्यानि पञ्चभिर्वर्णैः पञ्चाक्षरमहामनोः।।१५।।
pañcabhūtāni sarvāṇi pañcatanmātrakāṇi ca |
jñānendriyāṇi pañcāpi pañcakarmendriyāṇi ca ||14||
pañcabrahmāṇi pañcāpi kṛtyāni saha kāraṇaiḥ |
bodhyāni pañcabhirvarṇaiḥ
pañcākṣaramahāmanoḥ ||15||
All the five gross elements, the five subtle elements, the
five sensory organs, the five motor organs, the five Brahmans,
the five activities along with causes — all these are understood
through the five syllables of the great Pañcākṣara-mantra.
