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

120 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
That Dāna which is given with the notion that the
recipient, the giver and the object given are Śiva and with the
idea that one’s self is not the doer, is Sahajadāna. (83)
सहजं दानमुत्कृष्टं सर्वदानोत्तमोत्तमम्।
शिवज्ञानप्रदं पुंसां जन्मरोगनिवर्तकम्॥८४॥
sahajaṁ dānamutkṛṣṭaṁ sarvadānottamottamam |
śivajñānapradaṁ puṁsāṁ janmaroganivartakam ||84||
Sahajadāna is excellent. It is the best among the best of
all Dānas. It brings to all men the knowledge of Śiva which
in return removes their disease in the form of transmigra-
tion. (84)
शिवाय शिवभक्ताय दीयते यदि किञ्चन।
भक्त्या तदपि विख्यातं सहजं दानमुत्तमम्॥८५॥
śivāya śivabhaktāya dīyate yadi kiñcana |
bhaktyā tadapi vikhyātaṁ sahajaṁ dānamuttamam ||85||
If even a little is given with devotion to Śiva and to any
devotee of Śiva, even that is well known as the best
Sahajadāna. (85)
दानात् स्वर्णसहस्रस्य सत्पात्रे यत्फलं भवेत्।
एकपुष्पप्रदानेन शिवे तत्फलमिष्यते॥८६॥
dānāt svarṇasahasrasya satpātre yatphalaṁ bhavet |
ekapuṣpapradānena śive tatphalamiṣyate ||86||
Whatever reward that accrues by making a donation of
a thousand golden coins to a deserving person, the same
reward accrues by offering a single flower to Śiva. (86)
शिव एव परं पात्रं सर्वविद्यानिधिर्गुरुः।
तस्मै दत्तं तु यत्किञ्चित्तदनन्तफलं भवेत्॥८७॥
śiva eva paraṁ pātraṁ sarvavidyānidhirguruḥ |
tasmai dattaṁ tu yatkiñcittadanantaphalaṁ bhavet ||87||
Vacanasāhitya is not the Primary Source of 101 sthalas 121
Śiva who is the treasure of all lores and who is the Guru,
is the worthiest receipient. Whatever little that is given to
him would be of infinite reward. (87)
शिवयोगी शिवः साक्षाच्छिवज्ञानमहोदधिः।
यत्किञ्चिद्दीयते तस्मै तद्दानं पारमार्थिकम्॥८८॥
śivayogī śivaḥ sākṣācchivajñānamahodadhiḥ |
yatkiñciddīyate tasmai taddānaṁ pāramārthikam ||88||
The Śivayogin, who is the ocean of the knowledge of
Śiva, is actually Śiva himself. Whatever ‘Dāna’ that is given
to him, is of the highest reward. (88)
शिवयोगी महापात्रं सर्वेषां दानकर्मणि।
तस्मान्नास्ति परं किञ्चित्पात्रं शास्त्रविचारतः॥८९॥
śivayogī mahāpātraṁ sarveṣāṁ dānakarmaṇi |
tasmānnāsti paraṁ kiñcitpātraṁ śāstravicārataḥ ||89||
The Śivayogin is highly worthy recipient among the
recipients in the context of the act of Dāna. Hence, there is
no one superior to him in being a worthy recipeint. This is
what the Śāstras say. (89)
भिक्षामात्रप्रदानेन शान्ताय शिवयोगिने।
यत्फलं लभ्यते नैतद् यज्ञकोटिशतैरपि॥९०॥
bhikṣāmātrapradānena śāntāya śivayogine |
yatphalaṁ labhyate naitad yajñakoṭiśatairapi ||90||
What reward one gets by offering a mouthful of food to
the Śivayogin who is tranquil, it is not got even by performing
thousands of crores of sacrifices. (90)
शिवयोगिनि संतृप्ते तृप्तो भवति शङ्करः।
तत्तृप्त्या तन्मयं विश्वं तृप्तिमेति चराचरम्॥९१॥
śivayogini saṁtṛpte tṛpto bhavati śaṅkaraḥ |
tattṛptyā tanmayaṁ viśvaṁ tṛptimeti carācaram ||91||
