Ananda Lahari (Waves of Happiness)
Cautuh-shashtya tantraih sakalam
atisamdhaya bhuvanam
Sthitas tat-tat-siddhi-prasava-para-tantraih pasupatih;
Punas tvan-nirbandhad akhila-purusarth'aika ghatana-
Svatantram te tantram khsiti-talam avatitaradidam.
The Lord of all souls, Pasupathi,
Did create the sixty four tantras,
Each leading to only one desired power,
And started he his relaxation
But you goaded him mother,
To create in this mortal world.
Your tantra called Sri Vidya.
Which grants the devotee,
All powers that give powers,
Over all the states in life…31
Sivah saktih kamah kshitir atha ravih
sithakiranah
Smaro hamsah sakrastadanu cha para-mara-harayah;
Amee hrllekhabhis tisrbhir avasanesu ghatitha
Bhajante varnaste tava janani nam'avayavatham.
She who is mother of us all,
The seed letter “ka” of my Lord Shiva,
The seed letter “a” of Goddess Shakthi,
The seed letter “ee” of the God of Love,
The seed letter “la” of earth,
The seed letter “ha” of the sun god,
The seed letter “sa” of the moon with cool rays,
The seed letter “ka” of again the God of Love,
The seed letter ”ha” of the sky,
The seed letter “la” of Indra, the king of Devas,
The seed letter “sa” of Para,
The seed letter “ka” of the God of Love,
The seed letter “la” of Lord Vishnu,
Along with your seed letters “Hrim”,
Which joins at the end of each of the three holy wheels,
Become the holy word to worship you…32
Smaram yonim lakshmim trithayam idam
adau tava manor
Nidhay'aike nitye niravadhi-maha-bhoga-rasikah;
Bhajanti tvam chintamani-guna-nibaddh'aksha-valayah
Sivagnau juhvantah surabhi-ghrta-dhara'huti-sataih.
Oh, mother who is ever present,
Those who realise the essence,
Of the limitless pleasure of the soul you give,
And who add the seed letter “Iim” of the God of Love,
The seed letter “Hrim” of the Goddess Bhuvaneswari,
And the seed letter “Srim” of the Goddess Lakshmi,
Which are the three-letter triad,
Wear the garland of the gem of thoughts,
And offer oblations to the fire in triangle of Shiva,
With the pure scented ghee of the holy cow, Kamadhenu,
Several times and worship you…33
Sariram twam sambhoh
sasi-mihira-vakshoruha-yugam
Tav'atmanam manye bhagavati nav' atmanam anagham;
Atah seshah seshityayam ubhaya-saadharana taya
Sthitah sambandho vaam samarasa-parananda-parayoh.
Oh Goddess supreme,
I always see in my mind’s eye,
That your body with sun and moon,
As busts is the body of Shiva,
And his peerless body with nine surrounding motes,
Is your body, my Goddess.
And so the relation of “that which has”,
And “he who has”,
Becomes the one perfect relation of happiness,
And becomes equal in each of you…34
Manas tvam vyoma tvam marud asi marut
saarathir asi
Tvam aastvam bhoomis tvayi parinathayam na hi param;
Tvam eva svatmanam parinamayithum visva-vapusha
Chidanand'aakaram Shiva-yuvati-bhaavena bibhrushe.
Mind you are, Ether you are,
Air you are, Fire you are,
Water you are, Earth you are,
And you are the universe, mother,
There is nothing except you in the world,
But to make believe your form as the universe,
You take the role of wife of Shiva,
And appear before us in the form of ethereal happiness…35
Tavaagna chakrastham thapana shakthi
koti dhyudhidharam,
Param shambhum vande parimilitha –paarswa parachitha
Yamaradhyan bhakthya ravi sasi suchinama vishaye
Niraalokeloke nivasathi hi bhalokha bhuvane
The one who worships Parameshwara,
Who has the lustre of billions of moon and sun
And who lives in thine Agna chakra - the holy wheel of order,
And is surrounded by thine two forms,
On both sides,
Would forever live,
In that world where rays of sun and moon do not enter,
But which has its own lustre,
And which is beyond the sight of the eye,
But is different from the world we see…36
Vishuddhou the shuddha sphatika
visadham vyoma janakam
Shivam seve devimapi siva samana vyavasitham
Yayo kaanthya sasi kirana saaroopya sarane
Vidhoo thantha dwarvantha vilamathi chakoriva jagathi
I bow before the Shiva,
Who is of the pure crystal form,
In thine supremely pure wheel
And who creates the principle of ether,
And to you my mother,
Who has same stream of thought as Him.
I bow before you both,
Whose moon-like light,
Forever removes the darkness of ignorance,
Forever from the mind,
And which shines like the Chakora bird,
Playing in the full moon light…37
Samunmeelath samvithkamala
makarandhaika rasikam
Bhaje hamsadwandham kimapi mahatham maanasacharam
Yadhalapaa dhashtadasa gunitha vidhyaparinathi
Yadadhathe doshad gunamakhila madhbhaya paya eva
I pray before the swan couple,
Who only enjoy the honey,
From the fully open,
Lotus flowers of knowledge,
And who swim in the lake,
Which is the mind of great ones,
And also who can never be described.
From them come the eighteen arts,
And they differentiate the good from the bad,
Like the milk from water…38
Thava swadhishtane huthavahamadhishtaya
niratham
Thameede sarvatha janani mahathim tham cha samayam
Yadhaloke lokan dhahathi mahasi krodha kalithe
Dhayardhra ya drushti sishiramupacharam rachayathi
Mother, think and worship I, of the fire,
In your holy wheel of Swadishtana,
And the Rudra who shines in that fire,
Like the destroying fire of deluge,
And you who shine there as Samaya.
When that angry fire of look of Rudha,
Burns the world,
Then your look drenches it in mercy,
Which treats and cools it down… 39
Thatithwantham shakthya thimira paree
pandhi sphuranaya
Sphuranna na rathnabharana pareenedwendra dhanusham
Thava syamam megham kamapi manipooraika sharanam
Nisheve varshantham haramihira thaptham thribhuvanam.
I bow before that principle,
Which is in your wheel of Manipooraka,
Which as Parashakthi shines like the enemy of darkness,
Which is with the streak of lightning,
Which is with the shining jewels of precious stones of
lightning,
Which is also black as night,
Which is burnt by Rudhra like the sun of the deluge,
And which cools down the three worlds like a strange cloud…40
Thavadhare mole saha samayaya
lasyaparaya
Navathmanam manye navarasa maha thandava natam
Ubhabhya Methabhyamudaya vidhi muddhisya dhayaya
Sanadhabyam jagne janaka jananimatha jagathidam.
I pray in your holy wheel of Mooladhara,
You who likes to dance,
And calls yourself as Samaya,
And that Lord who performs the great vigorous dance,
Which has all the shades of nine emotions.
This world has you both as parents,
Because you in your mercy, wed one another,
To recreate the world,
As the world was destroyed in the grand deluge…41
