Sanskrit recitationNirvana Upanishad 12

ūrdhvāmnāyaḥ | nirālamba-pīṭhaḥ | saṃyoga-dīkṣā | viyogopadeśaḥ | dīkṣā-santoṣa-pānaṃ ca | dvādaśādityāvalokanam | viveka-rakṣā | karuṇaiva kelīḥ | ānanda-mālā | ekānta-guhāyāṃ muktāsana-sukha-goṣṭhī | akalpitabhikṣāśī | haṃsācāraḥ | sarvabhūtāntarvartī haṃsa iti pratipādanam ||12–24||

อูรธวามนายะ—สายการถ่ายทอดที่มุ่งขึ้นเบื้องบน. ปีฐะคือฐานที่ไร้ที่พึ่งพิง. สังโยคทีक्षา—การอภิเษกเข้าสู่ความรวมเป็นหนึ่ง. วิโยคอุปเทศ—คำสอนแห่งความคลายออกและความไม่ยึดติด. และการดื่มความพอใจเป็นทีक्षา. การเพ่งพินิจอาทิตย์ทั้งสิบสอง (อาทิตยะ). การคุ้มครองด้วยวิเวกะ—ปัญญาแยกแยะ. กรุณาเท่านั้นคือการละเล่นอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์. มาลัยแห่งอานันทะ. ในถ้ำอันสงัด มีสภาแห่งความผาสุกในอาสนะของโมกษะ. ฉันภิกษาที่มิได้วางแผนไว้ล่วงหน้า. จริยาของหังสา. การสถาปนาว่า “หังสา” สถิตอยู่ภายในสรรพสัตว์ทั้งปวง.

The ‘upward’ transmission (ūrdhvāmnāya). The seat (pīṭha) that is without support. Initiation into union (saṃyoga-dīkṣā). Instruction in disjunction (viyoga-upadeśa). And the drinking of contentment as the initiation. The contemplation of the twelve Ādityas (suns). Protection by discrimination (viveka). Compassion alone is play. A garland of bliss. In the solitary cave, an assembly of ease in the posture of liberation. Eating unpremeditated alms. The conduct of the Haṃsa. The establishment (of the doctrine) that the Haṃsa dwells within all beings.

Sādhana for Moksha: viveka-vairāgya, inner renunciation, and recognition of the indwelling Self (antarātman)Mahavakya: Supports ‘Tat tvam asi’ and ‘Ayam ātmā brahma’ by asserting the indwelling Self in all beings; complements ‘So’ham’ as lived realizationAtharvaChandas: Prose
