Neither I am a baby, nor I am young, nor I am old; Neither I have a varna (class), nor I am an unmarried student, nor I am a householder; Neither I am seated in forest, nor I am engrossed in the renouncement ceremony; I am eternal bliss, Shiv, Who is responsible for the creation, maintenance, and destruction of this universe.||2||

I am not measurable; I am beyond and older than Maya; even though seen different by everyone, I am not different and am the one bringing everything together; I am firmly attached to the God of three-worlds, and also I am induplicable; I am always beyond the cognizance of sense-organs and am all pervading; I am eternal bliss or Shiv.||3||

I am neither a thinker, nor a goer, nor a speaker; I am neither a doer, nor a consumer, nor am free from the abode of hermits. By every means, I am the all pervading, yet different to the fanciful mind, and I am the cause behind all the forms seen in the world; I am eternal bliss or Shiv.||4||

Neither I am the flow of life between various worlds (heaven, Vaikuntha, etc.), nor I am unturning (stubborn) illmeant thought generated by the mind; I am destiny, and I am that form or manifestation which is achieved as the result that is arrived upon after the cessation of (inquisitive) thoughts of the mind; I am eternal bliss or Shiv.||5||

The one to be cleaned, the deeds done with ignorance and lack of knowlege, those without any bliss, and those which don't shine on their own; all those and others which are trapped in the beginning, end, middle, or middle of middle are brought to shine by some entity; I am that One Shiv.||6||

From whichever point of view, I am not wisdom, nor I am the completion of deeds, nor I am the organs, nor I am the rejection of phallus (procreative fluid). I am the pervader in the sky like heart (mind), I am beyond the pains generated by the organs, I am always in a blissful form, I am eternal bliss or Shiv.||7||

That Whose manifestations have created many quality-forms (matter etc.), that Who is the support or abode of all these quality-forms, that Who is perhaps induplicable; the mind, wisdom, and intelligence and various sense-organs perceive qualities — all these have come forth by means of Which — I am that Shiv.||8||

That Who is free from worldly-qualities from outside or inside, that Who is unique, that Who is the cloud of eternal bliss, that Who is seen by the manifestations and creation of the big and small forms — all these have come forth by means of Which — I am that Shiv.||9||

That waves of light and energy sources like lightening, sun and the moon and their shining appearance; that who is free of all the differences between self and others and the whole world, perhaps, is belonging to His lotus feet — all these have come forth by means of Which — I am that Shiv.||10||

By means of Which Kaal and Death shine forth in their deeds, by means of Which the thoughts, the wisdom and the sense-organs live in glory, by means of Which Hari, Brahma, Rudra (Shiv), Indra, Moon etc. names are resplendent — all these have come forth by means of Which — I am that Shiv.||11||

That Who is infinite like the expanse of this universe, that Who pervades everything or can reach anywhere, that Who is in a pacified state, that Who is supreme light (existence), that Who is devoid of shape, size, etc., that Who is supreme bliss, that Who is without a beginning and end, that Who is with the name Shankara, that Who is distinguishable — I am that Shiv.||12||
