While being extremely poor,
While affected by disease of old age,

While I am in a pitiable state,
While I am being swallowed by problems,
And While I suffer serious dangers,
I always bow before thee,
So you are my refuge and only refuge, Bhavani

Ananda Lahari आनंदलहरी

आनंदलहरी

Ananda Lahari

(Wave of happiness)

By Adi Shankaracharya

भवानि स्तोतुं त्वां प्रभवति चतुर्भिर्न वदनैः 
प्रजानामीशानस्त्रिपुरमथनः पंचभिरपि।
न षड्भिः सेनानीर्दशशतमुखैरप्यहिपति-
स्तदाऽन्येषां केषां कथय कथमस्मिन्नवसरः॥१॥

Bhavani sthothum thwam prabhavathi chatur binna vadanai,
Prajaanaa meesana tripuramadhana pancha bhirapi,
Na shadibhar senaaneer dasa satha mukhai rapyahipathi,
Sthadanyesham kesham kadhaya kadamasminnavasara. 1

Oh Goddess Bhavani, Lord Brahma is not able to sing your praise by his four heads, Lord Shiva who destroyed the three cities is not able to do it with his five faces, Nor Lord Subrahmanya with his six faces and Lord Vishnu with his thousand faces, Are able to do it and then how will others get a chance to do it adequately?

घृतक्षीरद्राक्षामधुमधुरिमा कैरपि पदै-
र्विशिष्यानाख्येयो भवति रसनामात्रविषयः।
तथा ते सौंदर्यं परमशिवदृंगमात्रविषयः
कथंकारं ब्रूमः सकलनिगमागोचरगुणे॥२॥

Grutha ksheera draksha madhu madhrima kairapi padai,
Visishyana aakhyayo bhavathi rasana mathra vishaya,
Thadha they soundaryam paramshivadrung mathra vishaya,
Kadam karam brooma sakala nigama gochara gune. 2

Like words cannot describe the pleasant taste of ghee, milk, raisins and honey, Whose sweet taste can only be enjoyed by the tongue, Oh Goddess, how can we the ordinary people describe your beauty? Which can only be seen by the great God Shiva.

सुखे ते ताम्बूलं नयनयुगले कंजलकला
ललाटे काश्मीरं विलसति गले मौक्तिकलता।
स्फुरत्कांची शाटी पृथुकटितटे हाटकमयी
भजामि त्वां गौरीं नगपतिकिशोरीमविरतम्‌॥३॥

Mukhe may thamboolam nayana yugale kajjala kala,
Lalate kashmeeram, vilasathi gale moukthilatha,
Sphuarath kanchee satee. Prathu kati thate hataka mayee,
Bhajami sthwam gowreem nagapathee kisorimavrutham. 3

Hey goddess Gowri, I salute and sing about you always, With redness of Thamboola in your mouth, With black coloured eyes due to black collyrium, With forehead shining due to the red dot from the Kashmir, With sparkling chain in your neck and adorned with shining silk from Kanchi, Which is tied by the golden belt on to your waist.

विराजन्मन्दार-द्रुमकुसुमहर- स्तनतटी
नदद् वीणानाद-श्रवणविलसत्कुण्डलगुणा।
नतांगी मातंगी-रुचिरगतिभंगी भगवती
सती शम्भोरम्भोरुहचटुलचक्षुर्विजयते॥४॥

Virajan mandhara druma kusuma hara sthana thatee,
Nadadweena nada sravana vilasad kundala guna,
Nathangee Mathangi ruchira gathi bhangi bhagawathi,
Sathee sambho rambhoruha chatula chakshur vidhyathe. 4

Victory to Sathi, the wife of Lord Shiva, who has lotus like eyes, Who shines with the garland of flowers of the Kalpaka tree over her breasts, Who wears ear globes shining due to hearing the pleasant sound from Veena, And who is pretty and has a pretty walk of the majestic she elephant.

नवीनार्कभ्राजन्मणिकनकभूषापरिकरै-
र्वृतांगीं सारंगीरुचिरनयनांगीकृतशिवा।
तडित्पीता पीताम्बरललितमंजीरसुभगा
ममापर्णा पूर्णा निरवधिसुखैरस्तु सुमुखी॥५॥

Naveenarka brajan mani kanaka bhoosha pari karair,
Vruthangi sarangi ruchira nayanangi krutha siva,
Thadith peetha peethambhara lalitha manjeera subhaga,
Mama parna poorna niravadhi sumukhairasthu sumukhi. 5

She whose body is covered by golden and gem studded ornaments Shining like an infant sun and she, who has conquered Lord Shiva, By her very pretty eyes, and whose shining anklets are covered, By the yellow silk she wears and who with her several faces May please appear before me with her very kind and pretty face.

हिमादेः सम्भूता सुललितकरैः पल्लवयुता
सुपुष्पा मुक्ताभिर्भ्रमरकलिता चालकभरैः।
कृतस्थाणुस्थाना कुचफलनता सूक्तिसरसा
रुजां हन्त्री गन्त्री विलसति चिदानंदलतिका॥६॥

Himadhdre sambhootha sulalitha karai pallava yutha,
Supushpa mukthabhir bramara kalitha chalaka bharair,
Krutha sthanu sthana kucha phalanatha sookthi sarasa,
Rujaam hanthri ganthri vilasathi chidananda lathika.. 6

Those two hands as soft as buds born in the Himalayas.Wearing gems and flowers and having soft tender hairs, Encircling Lord Shiva with the juicy fruit like breasts, Is moving away my sorrows and appears like The tender climbing plant bringing eternal happiness.

सपर्णामाकीर्णां कतिपयगुणैः सादरमिह
श्रयन्त्यन्ये वल्लीं मम तु मतिरेवं विलसति।
अपर्णैका सेव्या जगति सकलैर्यत्परिवृतः
पुराणोऽपि स्थाणुः फलति किल कैवल्यपदवीम्‌॥७॥

Saparnam akeernam kathi paya gunai sadara miha,
Srayanth anye valleem mama thu mathirevam vilasathi,
Aparnai ka sevyaa jagathi sakalair yath parivrutha,
Purane api sthanu phalathi kila kaivalya padaveem. 7

Many people with several qualities are depending On climbing plants with leaves, but in my mind, I feel that only climbing plant, which should be served, Is you without any leaves*, for encircled by that plant, The stable and ancient one** is able to lead us to salvation.

*Parvathi is described as climbing plant of eternal happiness and is called Aparna-plant without leaves.
** Shiva gets this power because of association with Shakthi.

विधात्री धर्माणां त्वमसि सकलाम्नायजननी
त्वमर्थानां भूलं धनदनमनीयांघ्रिकमले।
त्वमादिः कामानां जननि कृतकन्दर्पविजये
सतां मुक्तेर्बीजं त्वमसि परमब्रह्ममहिषी॥८॥

Vidathree dharmaanam thwamasi sakala mnaya janani,
Thwa marthanam moolam dhana dhhana maneeyamgri kamale.
Thwamadhi kamaanam janani krutha kandarpa vijaye,
Sathaam mukther bheejam thwamasi hi parabrahma mahishi. 8

You are the creator of Dharma and the mother of all Vedas, You are the root of all wealth and is being worshipped by Kubhera, You are the mother of primeval desire, Oh goddess who won over God of love, Oh Goddess who is the queen of the Lord Shiva, you are also the seed for devotion.

प्रभूता भक्तिस्ते यदपि न ममालोलमनस-
स्त्वया तु श्रीमत्या सदयमवलोक्योऽहमधुना।
पयोदः पानीयं दिशति मधुरं चातकमुखे
भृशं शंके कैर्वा विधिभिरनुनीता मम मतिः॥९॥

Prabhudha bhakthisthe yadapi na mama lola manasa,
Thwaya thu sreemathya sadaya mavalokhya madhuna,
Payodha paaneeyam disathi madhuram chathaka mukhe,
Brusam sankhe kairva vidhibhira anu neetha mama mathi. 9

Though I being fickle minded and do not have devotion to you, You who are full of riches, should see me only with mercy, For the clouds pour the sweet water in to the throat of chataka*, And I think that my brain is being lead like this by you.
  *A mythical bird with a hole in its neck and can only drink rain water.

कृपापांगलोकं वितर तरसा साधुचरिते
न ते युक्तोपेक्षा मयि शरणदीक्षामुपगते।
न चेदिष्टं दद्यादनुपदमहो कल्पलतिका
विशेषः सामान्यैः कथमितरवल्लीपरिकरैः॥१०॥

Krupa pangam lokam vithara tharasa sadhu charithe,
Na they yuktha apeksha mayee sarana deeksha mupagathe.
Na chedishtam dadhya dhanupada maho kalpa lathika,
Visesha saamaanyai kadhamithara vallee parikarai. 10

Hey Glorious goddess, please look at me with mercy, For if you disregard me, who has come to you with a feeling, That you are my only solace, for it would not be proper, For a wish giving plant not o fulfill one’ss wishes always, As then there would not be any difference between it and other plants.

महान्तं विश्वासं तव चरणपंकेरुहयुगे
निधायाऽन्यन्‌ नैवाश्रितमिह मया दैवतमुमे।
तथापि त्वच्चेतो यदि मयि न जायेत सदयं
निरालम्बो लम्बोदरजननि कंयामि शरणम्‌॥११॥
Mahantham viswasam thava charana pangeruha yuge,
Nidhaya anyannai vasritha miha maya daivatham ume,
Thadapi thwachetha yadhi mayi na jayathe sadayam,
Niralambo lamodara janani kam yaami saranam. 11

With great faith I have come in search of your lotus like feet, And I have not depended on any other God except you goddess, In spite of that if you do not show mercy on me, I would become helpless and without support, Oh mother of Ganesa.

अयः स्पर्शे लग्नं सपदि लभते हेमपदवीं
यथा रथ्यापाथः शुचिभवति गंगौघमिलितम्‌।
तथा तत्तपापैरतिमलिनमन्तर्मम यदि
त्वयि प्रेम्णासक्तं कयमिव न जायेत विमलम्‌॥१२॥

Aya sparse lagnam sapadhi lapadhe hema padhavim,
Yadha aradhya padha suchi bhavathi Gangouga militham,
Thadha thath papai rathi malinamandharmama yadhi,
Thwayi premna saktham kadhamivana jayathe vimalam. 12

Like the iron becoming gold by the touch of the lucky, Like the water from the sewerage becoming pure by mixing with Ganga, Though my mind is dirty and turbid by various sins, Because it has merged with you by my devotion, it would surely become pure.

त्वदन्यस्मादिच्छाविषयफललाभेन नियम
स्त्वमर्थानामिच्छाधिकमपि समर्था वितरण।
इति प्राहुः प्रांचः कमलभवनाद्यास्त्वयि मन-
स्त्वदासक्तं नक्तंदिवमुचितमीशानि कुरु तत्‌॥१३॥

Thwad anya smadhi icha vishaya phala labhena niyatha,
Stwa marthanam ichchadhikam aapi samartha vitharane,
Ithi prahu prancha kamala bhavana dhyasthwayi mana,
Thada asaktham naktham dina muchitha meesani kuru thath. 13

It is seen that serving gods other than you, will lead to fulfillment of desires, But you are only capable of blessing with much more than what is desired, Thus tell the gods of ancient yore and so because my heart beats for you, Day and night, oh Goddess, do whatever you think is right.for me.

स्फुरन्नानारत्न-स्फटिकमयभित्ति- प्रतिफलं
त्वदाकारं चंचंछशधरशिलासौधशिखरम्‌।
मुकुंद-ब्रह्मन्द्रिप्रभृतिपरिवारं विजयते
तवागारं रम्यं त्रिभुवनमहाराजगृहिणी॥१४॥
Sphuran nana rathna sphatika maya bithi prathiphala,
Thwad adhikaram chanchanjasa vilasougha sigharam,
Mukunda brahmendra prabhruthi parivaram vijayathe,
Thava agaram ramyam thribhuvana maharaja grahini. 14

Hey Goddess, who is the consort of the emperor of three worlds, Your pretty home has walls made of gems and crystals and reflects your form, And it has a glowing spire which reflects the image of the moving moon, And it is populated by Brahma, Vishnu, Indra and others.

निवासः कैलासे विधिशत्तमखाद्याः स्तुतिकराः
कुटुम्बं त्रैलोक्यं कृतकरपुटः सिद्धनिकरः।
महेशः प्राणेशस्तदवनिधराधीशतनये
न ते सौभाग्यस्य कवाचिदपि मनागस्ति तुलना॥१५॥
Nivasa Kailase, vidhi satha makhadhya sthuthikara,
Kutumbham trilokyam, krutha karaputa sidh nikara,
Mahesa praanesa sthadhava nidaradheesa thanaye,
Na they saubhagyasya kwachidhapi managasthi thulana. 15

Oh daughter of the great Himalaya Mountains, You live in Kailasa, Lord Brahma and Indra are engaged for singing your fame, Your family is all the three worlds; all occult powers are saluting you, And you are the wife of Lord Shiva, Is there any comparison to your luck?

वृषो वृद्धो यानं विषमशनमाशा निवसनं
श्मशानं क्रीडाभूर्भुजगनिबहो भूषणविधिः।
समग्रा सामग्री जगति विदितैवं स्मररिपो-
र्यदेतस्यैश्वर्यं तव जननि सौभाग्यमहिमा॥१६॥
Vrusho vrudho yanam vishama sana masaa nivasanam,
Smasanam kreeda bhoor bhujaga nivaho bhooshana nidhi,
Samagra samagree jagathi vidhithaiva smara ripor,
Yadhe thasya aiswaryam thava janani soubhagya mahima. 16

Hey goddess, all people are of the view that, He rides on an old bull, drinks poison, Wears the directions, plays in the cremation ground, And Wears snakes as ornaments but it is due to your luck, That he is gifted with all the wealth of the world.

अशेषबह्माण्ड-प्रलयविधि-नैसर्गिकमतिः
श्मशानेष्वासीनः कृतभसितलेपः पशुपतिः।
दधौ कण्ठे हालाहलमखिलभूगोलकृपया
भवत्याः संगत्याः फलमिति च कल्याणिकलये॥१७॥
Asesha brahmanda pralaya vidhi naisargika mathi,
Smasane shaseena kruth abhasitha lepa pasupathi,
Dhadhou kante halahala makhila bhoogola krupaya,
Bhavathya sangathya phalamithi cha kalyani kalaye. 17

The lord of all beings, having by nature, inclination to destroy the universe,Sitting in the cremation ground and applying ash all over his body,Mercifully swallowed the poison called Halahala for saving the world, Oh Goddess, who does good, possibly due to his moving with you.

त्वदीयं सौन्दर्यं निरतिशयमालोक्य परया

Thwadeeyam soundaryam nirathisa yamalokya paraya,
Hriyai vasseed ganga jala maya thanu shaila thanaye,
Thade thasyaa asthamya thwadhana kamalam veekshya krupaya,
Prathishta mathen nija sisrasi vasena girisa. 18

Seeing your universally incomparable prettiness, Oh daughter of the mountain, Ganga took the form of water, And taking mercy for her jaded and disappointed face, The Lord of the mountains fixed her permanently on his head.

विशालश्रीखण्डद्रवमृगमदाकीर्णघुसृण-
प्रसूनव्यामिश्रं भगवति तवाभ्यंगसलिलम्‌।

Vishala sreeganda dhrava mruga adhikeerna gusruna,
Prasoona vyamishram bhagawathi thava abhyanga salilam,
Samadhaya srushta chalitha pada pamsoon nijakarai,
Samadathe srusthim vibudha pangeruha drusham. 19

Taking the saffron mixed with sandal and musk, Along with the water of your oil bath, Oh Goddess, The creator mixes it with the dust you feet created while walking, And has created with it the prettiest women of heavens.

वसन्ते सानन्दे कुसुमितलताभिः परिवृते
स्फुरन्नानापद्मे सरसि कलहंसालिसुभगे।

Vasanthe sanande kusimitha lathabhi parivruthe,
Spuran nana padme, sarasi kala hamasali subhage,
Sakheebhi khelantheem Malaya pavana mantholitha jale,
Smaredhya sthwam thasya jwara janitha peedapa sarathi. 20

I salute that Govinda who is the extreme limit of happiness, Who with a child like fear of Yasoda’s punishment when he ate mud, Showed her in his open mouth visible and invisible part of fourteen worlds, Who is the ultimate basis of the three worlds which are visible and not visible, And who is the lord of earth and the eternal goal thereof. 2

I salute that Govinda who is the extreme limit of happiness, Who killed the valorous enemies of devas, reduced the burden of earth, Who cures the sorrow caused by the day today life, Who is ever detached, who eats butter, who eats no food, who eats the earth, Who shines in the mind when it is clear but cannot be revealed by anything else, And who is peaceful, is peace and nothing else but peace. 3

I salute that Govinda who is the extreme limit of happiness, Who looks after all beings in his playful form of cowherd, Who protects those who look after cows, who playfully lifted,The govardhana where gopis play and made gopa lads happy,
Whose name Govinda is clearly by the cows*, who has many names, And who always is beyond the reach of the ignorant**.
* The word could be translated as words also.
** The word could be translated as Gopis. 4

I salute that Govinda who is the extreme limit of happiness, Who is present in each and every group of gopis, who appears, In differing forms but actually is without difference.

* Come leaving everything

Shiva (शिव) Dasasloki Nirvana Dasakam (दशश्लोकी) Nirvana Dashakam

दशश्लोकी (Dasashloki)
by
आदि शंकराचार्य (Adi Shankaracharya)

न भूमिर्न तोयं न तेजो न वायुः
न खं नेन्द्रियं वा न तेषां समूहः 
अनेकान्तिकत्वात् सुषुप्त्येकसिद्दः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥१॥

"I am not the Earth nor Water, neither Fire nor Air, I am not space. Neither am I any of the Faculties nor am I their aggregrate. [I am not any of these] as they are all uncertain. I am proved however in the sole experience of deep sleep. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Only One, am I." [1]

न वर्णा न वर्णाश्रमाचारधर्मा
न मे धारणाध्यानयोगादयोपि 
अनात्माश्रयाहंममाध्यासहानात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥२॥

The castes are not for me, nor the observances and duties attached to the castes and the stages of life. Even the steadying of the mind, concentration, self-communion and other courses are not for me. For the mistaken senses of I and MINE which rested on the Non-Self have been abondoned. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [2]

न माता पिता वा न देवा न लोका
न वेदा न यज्ञा न तीर्थ ब्रुवन्ति 
सुषप्तौ निरस्तातिशून्यात्मकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥३॥

There is no mother nor father; no gods nor regions of experience; no scriptures nor sacrifical sites; and no sacred place-so say the Sages. For, in the state of deep sleep, all these are negatived and that state is completely devoid (of any object of perception) That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [3]

न साख्यं न शैवं न तत्पाञ्चरात्रं
न जैनं न मीमांसकादेर्मतं वा 
विशिष्टानुभूत्या विशुद्धात्मकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥४॥

There is no Sankhya nor Saiva, nor that Pancharatra nor Jaina. The conception of the Mimamsaka and others does not exist. For, through the direct realisation of what is qualified, the Self is known as of the nature of the Absolutely Pure. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [4]

न चोर्ध्व न चाधो न चान्तर्न बाह्यं
न मध्यं न तिर्यँ न पूर्वाऽपरा दिक् 
वियद्व्यापकत्वादखण्डैकरूपः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥५॥

There is neither above nor below, neither inside nor outside, no middle nor crosswise, no direction, east or west. For it is all-pervasive like space. It is partless and homogeneous in its nature. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [5]

न शुक्लं न कृष्णं न रक्तं न पीतं
न कुब्जं न पीनं न ह्रस्वं न दीर्घम् 
अरूपं तथा ज्योतिराकारकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥६॥

It is neither white nor black, neither red nor yellow, neither dwarfish nor stout, neither short nor long. As it is of the nature of light, it is shapeless also. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [6]

न शास्ता न शास्त्रं न शिष्यो न शिक्षा
न च त्वं न चाहं न चायं प्रपञ्चः
स्वरूपावबोधो विकल्पासहिष्णुः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥७॥

There is no ruler nor rule, no pupil nor training. There is no YOU nor I. This universe is not. For the realistion of the true nature of the Self does not tolerate any distincion. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [7]

न जाग्रन् न मे स्वप्नको वा सुषुप्तिः
न विश्वौ न वा तैजसः प्राज्ञको वा
अविद्यात्मकत्वात् त्रयाणं तुरीयः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥८॥

There is no waking state for me nor dream or deep sleep. I am not Visva[the Self identified with the experience of the waking state], nor Taijasa[identified with dream state], nor Prajna[identified with deep sleep]. I am really the Fourth(Turiya). That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [8]

अपि व्यापकत्वात् हितत्वप्रयोगात्
स्वतः सिद्धभावादनन्याश्रयत्वात्
जगत् तुच्छमेतत् समस्तं तदन्यत्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥९॥ 

All this universe which is other than the Self is worthless(having no existence of its own) for it is well known that the Self is all pervasive, recognised as the reality and that its existence is self-proven and does not depend upon anything else. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [9]

न चैकं तदन्यद् द्वितीयं कुतः स्यात्
न केवलत्वं न चाऽकेवलत्वम् 
न शुन्यं न चाशून्यमद्वैतकत्वात्
कथं सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धं ब्रवीमि ॥१०॥

It is not one, for how can there be a second distinct from it? Aloneness cannot be attributed to it nor even not-aloneness. It is neither a void nor a non-void. When it does not admit of a second entity, in what manner can I speak about it though it is established by all the Upanishads. ? [10]
