मनस्त्वं व्योम त्वं मरुदसि मरुत्सारथिरसि त्वमापस्त्वं भूमिस्त्वयि परिणतायां न हि परम् । त्वमेव स्वात्मानं परिणमयितुं विश्ववपुषा चिदानन्दाकारं शिवयुवति भावेन बिभृषे ॥३५॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- मनस्त्वं व्योम त्वं मरुदसि मरुत्सारथिरसि
- mind is You, ether is You, wind You are, charioteer of wind
- त्वमापस्त्वं भूमिस्त्वयि परिणतायां न हि परम् ।
- waters You are, earth You are; when dissolved in You nothing else remains
- त्वमेव स्वात्मानं परिणमयितुं विश्ववपुषा
- You alone assume Your own Self with the form of the universe
- चिदानन्दाकारं शिवयुवति भावेन बिभृषे ॥३५॥
- as the form of consciousness-bliss, O Shiva's bride, You bear
Every element and the mind itself are the Goddess; nothing remains outside Her. The universe is Her own Self-assumption as cidānanda; in Advaita, the world is not other than awareness appearing as form.
