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

150 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
सर्वात्मना प्रपन्नस्तं शरणागत उच्यते।।५९।।
Śaṅkara who has the moon as his crest-ornament, is the
resort of all beings. He who has resorted to him in all ways is
said to be ‘Śaraṇāgata.’ (59)
विमुक्तभोगलालसो देवतान्तरनिस्पृहः।
शिवमभ्यर्थयन् मोक्षं शरणार्थीति गीयते।।६०।।
He who is free from all desire for (mundane)
enjoyments and who is not interested in any other gods, is
called ‘Śaraṇārthin’ as he requests Śiva to grant liberation.
(60)
ये प्रपन्ना महादेवं मनोवाक्कायकर्मभिः।
तेषां तु कर्मजातेन किं वा देवादितर्पणैः।।६१।।
For those who have resorted to the Mahādeva with their
mental, vocal and physical actions, what is the use of any
action? Of what use are the libations to gods, etc.? (61)
सर्वेषामपि यज्ञानां क्षयः स्वर्गः फलायते।
अक्षयं फलमाप्नोति प्रपन्नः परमेश्वरम्।।६२।।
Of all the sacrifices the reward is heaven which is
exhaustive. But he who has taken refuge in the Supreme
Lord will get inexhaustive reward. (62)
प्रपन्नपारिजातस्य भवस्य परमात्मनः।
प्रपत्त्या किं न जायेत पापिनामपि देहिनाम्।।६३।।
Even in the case of sinful beings, what is it that does not
accrue through self-surrender to the Supreme Soul Śiva who
is the veritable desire - yielding tree (Pārijāta =
Kalpadruma) to those who take refuge under him? (63)
प्रपन्नानां महादेवं परिपक्वान्तरात्मनाम्।
जन्मैव जन्म नान्येषां वृथा जननसङ्गिनाम्।।६४।।
His Scholarship and Catholicism 151
It is the birth of those who are of mature Souls after
having taken refuge in the Great Lord that is the most
blessed birth, but not that of others who have taken birth in
vain. (64)
दुर्लभं मानुषं प्राप्य जननं ज्ञानसाधनम्।
ये न जानन्ति देवेशं तेषामात्मा निरर्थकः।।६५।।
Vain, indeed, is the embodied soul of those persons who
do not realise the Lord of Gods (Śiva) after having taken the
rare birth as human beings which is the means to attain
knowledge. (65)
तत्कुलं हि सदा शुद्धं सफलं तस्य जीवितम्।
यस्य चित्तं शिवे साक्षाद् विलीनमबहिर्मुखम्।।६६।।
Ever pure, indeed, is his family and fruitful, indeed, is
his life whose mind, which is not turned outward, is actually
merged in Śiva. (66)
गुरुलिङ्गादिमाहात्म्यविशेषानुभवस्थितिः।
यस्माच्छिवप्रसादात् स्यात्तदस्य महिमोच्यते।।६७।।
The fact that the Prasāda of Śiva is that from which
there arises the state of special experience of the greatness of
the Guru, the Liṅga, etc., is said to be its greatness. (67)
सदा लिङ्गैकनिष्ठानां गुरुपूजानुषङ्गिणाम्।
प्रपन्नानां विशुद्धानां प्रसीदति महेश्वरः।।६८।।
Maheśvara extends his favour only to those who are
devoted to the Liṅga alone, who are deeply attached to the
worship of the Guru, who have surrendered themselves (to
Śiva) and who are pure. (68)
प्रसादोऽपि महेशस्य दुर्लभः परिकीर्त्यते।
घोरसंसारसन्तापनिवृत्तिर्येन जायते।।६९।।
