________________ 224 VIVEKACHUDAMANI 517. This splendour of the sovereignty of Self-effulgence! I have received by virtue of the supreme majesty of thy grace. Salutations to thee, O glorious, noble-minded Teacher,--salutations again and again! [ Self-effulgence-hence, absolute independence. The disciple is beside himself with joy, and hence the highly rhetorical language.] 'महास्वने मायाकृतजनिजरामृत्युगहने भ्रमन्तं क्लिश्यन्तं बहुलतरतापैरनुदिनम् । Tarpa AAA ira et com प्रबोध्य प्रस्वापात्परमवितवान्मामसि गुरो॥५१८॥ 518. O Teacher, 'thou hast out of sheer grace awakened me from sleep and completely saved me, who was wandering, in an interminable dream, in a forest of birth, decay and death created by illusion, being tormented day after day3 by countless afflictions, and sorely troubled by the tiger of egoism. [ Sleep-of Nescience, which also creates the 'dream,' two lines further on.' *Forest—i. e., difficult to come through. 3 Day after day: It is a well-known fact that even a short dream may, to the dreamer's mind, appear as extending over years. ] http://www.Apnihindi.com
