VIVEKACODAMANI
svarūpe: paramātmani: in the Paramātman which is your real nature.
samāhitāntaḥkaraṇaḥ: with your mind firmly and unmovingly made to rest.
akhanqavaibhavam: of limitless glory; being the substratum even of the expansive ākāśa.
vilokaya: realise.
bhavagandhagandhilam: contaminated by the vāsanās of samsāra. .
bandham: ajñānam.
vicchindhi: destroy; vide: avidyāstamayo mokşas sã ca bandha udāhrtah: "Moksa is the extinction of avidyā and that (avidyā) is spoken of as bondage.”
yatnena: with effort; vide the śrutis: yallābhānnāparo lābho yatsukhānna param sukhamı yadbodhännäparo bodhas tad brahmetyavadharaya | "That than gaining which there is no higher gain; that than the bliss of which there is no higher bliss; that than by knowing which there is no higher knowledge, understand that to be Brahman.” ātmalābhānna param kiñcidasti: "There is not anything beyond the getting (realisation) of the ātman"; ātmānamanviccha guhām pravistam: "Inquire about the ātman embedded in the inmost cave of your being”. Vide the Gītā text: etad buddhvā buddhimän syāt krtakrtyaśca bhārata: "Knowing this, one becomes wise and of fulfilled purpose, Oh Arjuna!"; vide also the śruti: ātmā vā are draştavyaḥ etāvadare khalvamytatvam (Brh): 'The ātman must be 'seen'; that verily is immortality". All these show that the realisation of the ātman (ātmasäksātkāra) alone is fruitful. By effort towards it make your birth as man secured by the many merits of previous births purposeful. Do not get into samsāra again.

सर्वोपाधिविनिर्मुक्तं सच्चिदानन्दमद्वयम् ।
भावयात्मानमात्मस्थं न भूयः कल्पसेऽध्वने ॥४१३ ॥ sarvopädhivinirmuktam saccidānandam advayam bhāvayātmānam ātmastham na bhūyaḥ kalpase'dhvane 11
Meditate on the ātman which is in you, free of all upadhis, of the nature of Pure Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss and non-dual, and you will not be entangled in samsāra again.
