Word breakdown
- विरिञ्चादिरूपैः प्रपञ्चे विहृत्य
- Having sported through the world in forms from Brahma onward,
- स्वतन्त्रा यदा स्वात्मविश्रान्तिरेषा ।
- when independently this rest in one's own Self comes,
- तदा मानमातृप्रमेयातिरिक्तं
- then beyond knower, knowing, and known,
- परानन्दमीडे भवानि त्वदीयम्
- I praise your supreme bliss, O Bhavani.
When the Devi rests in her own Self after cosmic play, she is beyond the triple division of knower, knowing, and known. That supreme bliss is what Advaita names when the mind stops measuring reality.
