156 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
consciousness, flashes like a lamp in the hearts of those
enlightened persons who are absorbed in Yoga (meditation).
It cannot be realised by the ignorant. (8)
अन्तःस्थितं परं लिङ्गं ज्योतीरूपं शिवात्मकम्।
विहाय बाह्यलिङ्गस्था विमूढा इति कीर्तिताः॥९॥
Those who are devoted to the external Liṅga by leaving
aside that Supreme Liṅga which resides inside, which is of
the form of lustre and which is of the nature of Śiva, are
described as fools. (9)
संविल्लिङ्गपरामर्शी बाह्यवस्तुपराङ्मुखः।
यः सदा वर्तते योगी प्राणलिङ्गी स उच्यते॥१०॥
That Yogin who concentrates on the Liṅga of the nature
of intelligence (consciousness), withdrawing himself from
the external objects and who always remains in that state, is
said to be the Prāṇaliṅgin. (10)
मायाविकल्पजं विश्वं हेयं सञ्चिन्त्य नित्यशः।
चिदानन्दमये लिङ्गे विलीनः प्राणलिङ्गवान्॥११॥
He who is absorbed in the Liṅga which is made up of
intelligence and bliss, always thinking that this world which is
born of the variety of Māyā as something to be abandoned, is
the Prāṇaliṅgin. (11)
सत्ता प्राणमयी शक्तिः सद्रूपं प्राणलिङ्गकम्।
तत्सामरस्यविज्ञानात् प्राणलिङ्गीति कथ्यते॥१२॥
“Existence” is the Śakti made up of life-principle; its
form is the Prāṇaliṅga. Due to that realisation of
coelescence, one is called Prāṇaliṅgin.(12)
अन्तर्गतं चिदाकारं लिङ्गं शिवमयं परम्।
पूज्यते भावपुष्पैर्यत् प्राणलिङ्गार्चनं हि तत्॥१३॥

That worship with flowers in the form of pure mental
states (concepts) that is rendered to the Supreme Liṅga
which is the embodiment of Śiva, which resides inside and
which is of the nature of intelligence (consciousness), is the
Prāṇaliṅga-worship.(13)
अन्तः पवनसंस्पृष्टे सुसूक्ष्माम्बरशोभिते।
मूर्धन्यचन्द्रविगलत्सुधासेकातिशीतले ॥१४॥
बद्धेन्द्रियनवद्वारे बोधदीपे हृदालये।
पद्मपीठे समासीनं चिल्लिङ्गं शिवविग्रहम्॥
भावयित्वा सदाकालं पूजयेद् भाववस्तुभिः॥१५॥
The “Cilliṅga” (Prāṇaliṅga) which is of auspicious form
should be conceived as seated on the lotus-seat in the temple
of the heart which is pervaded by the inner vital breath,
which is adorned with an extremely subtle ether, which is
cool with the sprinkling of nectar oozing from the moon in
the crown of the head, which has its nine doors in the form of
senses closed and which is lighted by the lamp of knowledge,
and should be worshipped with mental objects. (14-15)
क्षमाऽभिषेकसलिलं विवेको वस्त्रमुच्यते।
सत्यमाभरणं प्रोक्तं वैराग्यं पुष्पमालिका॥१६॥
गन्धः समाधिसम्पत्तिरक्षता निरहङ्कृतिः।
श्रद्धा धूपो महाज्ञानं जगद्भासि प्रदीपिका॥१७॥
भ्रान्तिमूलप्रपञ्चस्य निवेदनं तन्निवेदनम्।
मौनं घण्टापरिस्पन्दस्ताम्बूलं विषयार्पणम्॥१८॥
विषयभ्रान्तिराहित्यं तत्प्रदक्षिणकल्पना।
बुद्धेस्तदात्मिका शक्तिर्नमस्कारक्रिया मता॥१९॥
