Selfie - II

 

न च प्राण संज्ञो न वै पञ्चवायुः

न वा सप्तधातुर्‌ न वा पञ्चकोशः ।

न वाक्पाणिपादौ न चोपस्थपायू

चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम्‌ शिवोऽहम्‌ ॥ २ ॥




na cha prANa saMgyo na vai pancha vAyuH

na vai saptadhAtur na vai panchakoshaH.

na vAk pANi pAdau na chopastha pAyU

chidAnanda rUpaH shivo'ham shivo'ham.  2


I am neither to be understood as prana nor as the five kinds of breath,

nor the seven materials nor the five sheaths;

neither am I the organs of speech, elimination, motion, grasping, or procreation.

In the form of blissful consciousness, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
