न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दुःखं
न मन्त्रो न तीर्थो न वेदो न यज्ञाः ।
अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥ ४ ॥
na puNyaM na pApaM na saukhyaM na duHkhaM
na mantro na tIrtho na vEdo na yajñAH.
ahaM bhojanaM naiva bjojyaM na bhoktA
chidAnandarUpaH shivo'ham shivo'ham. 4
I am neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain,
neither mantra nor holy shrine, neither scriptures nor sacrifices.
Neither am I enjoyment nor its object, nor the enjoyer.
In the form of blissful consciousness, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
