136 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
stand different from him, just as serpentness does not appear
different from the rope. (69)
रज्जौ सर्पवद्भाति शुक्तौ तु रजतत्ववत्।
चोरत्ववदपि स्थाणौ मरीच्यां च जलत्ववत्।।७०।।
गन्धर्वपुरवद्व्योम्नि सच्चिदानन्दलक्षणे।
निरस्तभेदसद्भावे शिवे विश्वं विराजते।।७१।।
The world shines in Śiva who is of the nature of
existence, intelligence and bliss and who is devoid of all
differences, like the serpentness in the rope, the silverness in
the conch-shell, the form of a thief in the post, the
appearance of water in the mirage and the Gandharva cities
in the sky. (70-71)
पत्रशाखादिरूपेण यथा तिष्ठति पादपः।
तथा भूम्यादिरूपेण शिव एको विराजते।।७२।।
Just as the tree stands in the form of leaves, branches,
etc., so does Śiva alone manifest himself in the form of the
earth, etc. (72)
समस्तजगदात्मापि शङ्करः परमेश्वरः।
भक्तानां हृदयाम्भोजे विशेषेण विराजते।।७३।।
Although Śaṅkara, the Supreme Lord, resides in the
entire world as its soul, yet he shines especially in the heart-
lotus of the devotees. (73)
कैलासे मन्दरे चैव हिमाद्रौ कनकाचले।
हृदयेषु च भक्तानां विशेषेण व्यवस्थितः।।७४।।
He (Śiva) is especially stationed in the Kailāsa,
Mandara mountain, Himālaya mountain, Meru mountain
and the hearts of the devotees. (74)
Ancient Tradition of VS : 1. Śrī Rambhāpurīpīṭha 137
सर्वात्मापि परिच्छिन्नो यथा देहेषु वर्तते।
तथा स्वकीयभक्तेषु शङ्करो भासते सदा।।७५।।
Just as Śaṅkara, although he is the Universal Self of all,
stays in the bodies of all beings by dividing himself, so does
he reside always in the hearts of his devotees. (75)
नित्यं भाति त्वदीयेषु या ते रुद्र शिवा तनूः।
अघोराऽपापकाशीति श्रुतिराह सनातनी।।७६।।
The ancient Śruti says – “O Rudra, that your body in
the form of the Liṅga which is peaceful and which is not
touched any defect, ever shines in those who belong to
you. (76)
विशुद्धेषु विरक्तेषु विवेकिषु महात्मसु।
शिवस्तिष्ठति सर्वात्मा शिवलाञ्छनधारिषु।।७७।।
Śiva who is the universal soul, resides in the hearts of
those who are pure and who are not attached to mundane
life, of those great men who are endowed with discrimination
and of those who are decked with the signs of Śiva. (77)
नित्यं सन्तोषयुक्तानां ज्ञाननिर्धूतकर्मणाम्।
माहेश्वराणामन्तःस्थो विभाति परमेश्वरः।।७८।।
The Great Lord shines in the hearts of the Māheśvaras
who are always endowed with contentment and whose fruits
of Karma (deeds) are eradicated by knowledge. (78)
अन्यत्र शम्भो रतिमात्रशून्यो निजेष्टलिङ्गे
नियतान्तरात्मा।
शिवात्मकं विश्वमिदं विबुध्यन् माहेश्वरोऽसौ भवति
प्रसादी।।७९।।
