श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रविरचितः
The fire of your knowledge takes the entire universe as its fuel; indeed, it expands (the sphere of activities of its) body (to this extent) by nourishing its unitary innate elements (i.e. by cognizing the self). (4) [254]
विश्वग्रासातिपुष्टेन शुद्धचैतन्यधातुना । रममाणस्य ते नित्यं बलमालोक्यतेऽतुलम् ॥ ५॥
viśvagrāsātipușțena suddhacaitan yadhātună / ramamānasya te nityam balam ālok yate'tulam
1/ 5 //
Your infinite energy is seen from the fact that, taking in the whole universe, you always delight in the fully completed element of pure consciousness. (5) [255]
अनन्तबलसन्नद्धं स्वभावं भावयन् विभुः ।। अन्तर्जीर्णजगद्नासस्त्वमेवैको विलोक्यसे ॥ ६ ॥
anantabalasannaddham svabhāvam bhāvayan vibhuḥ / antarjîrņajagadgrāsas tvam evaiko vilok yase // 6 //
You alone are seen to be the omniscient one, for you have digested within yourself (i.e. internalized) this "morsel” which is the universe (of object, and also) you perceive your own-being, which is endowed with infinite en 'rgy. (6) [256]
विश्वनासादनाकाङ क्षः प्रयातस्तृप्तिमक्षयाम् । अयं निरुत्सुको भासि स्वभावभरनिर्भरः ॥ ७ ॥
visvagrāsād? anākārkṣaḥ prayātas trptim akṣayām / ayam nirutsuko bhāsi svabhāvabharanirbharah // 7 //
Because you take in the whole universe, you are free from all desires (to know anything more), and you have, thereby, attained to unending contentment and freedom from striving (for new objects). You shine forth, complete in your perfect owu-being. (7) [257]
अनन्तरूपैरुद्यद्भिरुपयोगचमत्कृतः । वहस्यकोऽपि वैचित्र्यं सुमहिम्ना स्फुटीभवन् ॥ ८ ॥
anantarūpair udyadbhir upayagacamatkytaiḥ /
vahasy eko 'pi vaicitryam sumahimnă sphuţibhavan 1/ 8 || You shine forth with great majesty; and although you are One, you possess diversity through the wondrous and infinitely variegted manifestations
onsciousness which constantly arise. (8) [258]
