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

90 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
पञ्चाक्षरीमिमां विद्यां प्रणवेन षडक्षरीम्।
जपेत् समाहितो भूत्वा शिवपूजापरायणः।।२४।।
pañcākṣarīmimāṁ vidyāṁ praṇavena ṣaḍakṣarīm |
japet samāhito bhūtvā śivapūjāparāyaṇaḥ ||24||
He who is engrossed in the worship of Śiva should
mutter with concentration this Pañcākṣarī-mantra which
becomes Ṣaḍakṣarī with ‘Oṁkāra’. (24)
प्राणायामत्रयं कृत्वा प्राङ्मुखोदङ्मुखोऽपि वा।
चिन्तयन् हृदयाम्भोजे देवदेवं त्र्यम्बकम्।।२५।।
सर्वालङ्कारसंयुक्तं साम्बं चन्द्रार्धशेखरम्।
जपेदेतां महाविद्यां शिवरूपामनन्यधीः।।२६।।
prāṇāyāmatrayaṁ kṛtvā
prāṅmukhodanmukho’pi vā |
cintayan hṛdayāmbhoje devadevaṁ tryambakam ||25||
sarvālaṅkārasaṁyuktaṁ
sāmbaṁ candrārdhaśekharam |
japedetāṁ mahāvidyāṁ śivarūpāmananyadhīḥ ||26||
After doing Prāṇāyāma three times, sitting in such a
way as facing the east or the north and cherishing in the lotus
of the heart Śiva, who is the god of gods, who is three-eyed,
who is endowed with all ornaments, who is accompanied with
Ambā (Mother Pārvatī) and who has the crescent moon as
his crest-ornament, the devotee should mutter with deep
concentration this great Mantra, which is of Śiva’s form
(auspicious in form). (25-26)
जपस्तु त्रिविधः प्रोक्तो वाचिकोपांशुमानसः।
श्रूयते यस्तु पार्श्वस्थैर्यथावर्णसमन्वयम्।।२७।।
वाचिकः च तु विज्ञेयः सर्वपाशप्रभञ्जनः।
ईषत्स्पृष्ट्वाधरपुटं यो मन्दमभिधीयते।।२८।।
2. Śaivāgamas : (10) Vātulaśuddhāgama 91
पार्श्वस्थैरश्रुतः सोऽयमुपांशुः परिकीर्तितः।
अस्पृष्ट्वाधरमस्पन्दि जिह्वाग्रं योऽन्तरात्मना।।
भाव्यते वर्णरूपेण स मानस इति स्मृतः।।२९।।

Japa is said to be threefold as Vācika (Vocal), Upāṁśu
(Lip-movement) and Mānasa (Mental). That Japa which is
heard by those who are on either side clearly with the syllabic
structure, is known to be Vācika. It is the destroyer of all
fetters. That Japa which is faintly uttered with the slight
touching of the lips in such away as it is not heard by those
who are on either side, is stated as Upāṁśu. That Japa which
is cherished in the form of the letters of the Mantra in the
inner soul without the touching of lips and without the
movement of the tip of tongue, is known as Mānasa. (27-29)
यावन्तः कर्मयज्ञाद्या व्रतदानतपांसि च।
सर्वे ते जपयज्ञस्य कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम्।।३०।।
yāvantaḥ karmayajñādyā vratadānatapāṁsi ca |
sarve te japayajñasya kalāṁ nārhanti ṣoḍaśīm | | 30 | |
As many as are the Karmayajñas and as many as are the
vows, donations and penances, so many of them all are not
equal to one-sixteenth part of the Japayajña. (30)
माहात्म्यं वाचिकस्यैतज्जपयज्ञस्य कीर्तितम्।
तस्माच्छतगुणोपांशुः सहस्रो मानसः स्मृतः।।३१।।
