Study note
Word breakdown
- तेजोमयं सगुणनिर्गुणमद्वितीयं
- Luminous, with qualities and without qualities, without a second,
- आनन्दकन्दमपराजितमप्रमेयम्
- root of bliss, unconquered, immeasurable,
- नागात्मकं सकलनिष्कलमात्मरूपं
- whose nature is serpent, with parts and without parts, the form of the Self,
- वाराणसीपुरपतिं भज विश्वनाथम्
- worship Vishvanatha, lord of the city of Varanasi.
Saguna and nirguna, with and without parts, he is the immeasurable bliss-root and Self-form; this verse names the Lord explicitly as Atman, inviting worship to ripen from image into the knowledge that the worshipper and worshipped are not two.
