अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकाररूपो
विभुर्व्याप्य सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणि ।
सदा मे समत्वं न मुक्तिर्न बन्धः
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥ ६ ॥
ahaM nirvikalpo nirAkArarUpo
vibhurvyApya sarvatra sarvEndriyANi.
sadA mE samatvaM na muktirna bandhaH
chidAnandarUpaH shivo'ham shivo'ham. 6
I am without change, I am without form.
Permeating the basis of all, I am everywhere and behind all the senses.
I am always in equilibrium, and have neither liberation nor attachment.
In the form of blissful consciousness, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
