शुद्धि भस्मसे होती है, लौहपात्रकी शुद्धि क्षारसे, ताँबा- पात्रकी शुद्धि अम्लसे कही जाती है। हे श्रेष्ठ ब्राह्मणो ! सोने तथा चाँदीके पवित्र पात्र जलसे शुद्ध होते हैं; मणि, पत्थर, शंख तथा मोतीकी शुद्धि भी

English

See note 241. Aiguma (minuteness), Laghima (lightness), Mahima (greatness), Prapti (the power of obtaining any thing), Pra- kamyam (irresistible will); llitva (lordship) over everything, Vaigitva (ability to make others subservient) and Kama* vasayita (when everything happens according to one's desires), these are eight types. This Aiivarya desired by everyone should be known as of three types.

हिन्दी अर्थ

सुवर्णपात्रकी भाँति कही गयी है। अत्यधिक दूषित पदार्थकी शुद्धि अग्नि तथा जलके संयोगसे होती है। सभी रसोंकी शुद्धि उत्प्लवन-क्रियाद्वारा बतायी गयी है तृण, काष्ठ आदि वस्तुओंकी शुद्धिहेतु पवित्र जलसे अभ्युक्षण (छिड़काव) बताया गया है और खुक्-स्रुवाकी शुद्धि उष्ण जलसे होती है। उसी प्रकार यज्ञपात्रों, मूसल, उलूखल (ओखली), सींग-अस्थि-

English

The three types are Savadya, Niravadya and Suksma. What is termed Savadya is of the nature of five elements. The function of the Suksma (subtle) is in respect of the sense organs, mind and ego. The function is again of the nature of five elements (?). The sense-organs, mind, will, intellect and ego — the Atman comes into contact with all these. This three- fold contact functions only in the subtle things. Again the eight attributes are laid down only in the subtle forms. 1 shall men- tion their nature as described by the lord and as they are known among all living beings of the three worlds. The Anima, etc. are self-evident. They are well esta- blislied everywhere. They are cited as difficult of access to all living beings in the three worlds.

हिन्दी अर्थ

काष्ठ तथा हाथीदाँतकी बनी वस्तुओंको शुद्धि तक्षण (छीलने)-से होती है। है महाभागो! संहत (मिली- जुली) वस्तुओंकी शुद्धिहेतु प्रोक्षण बताया गया है और असंहत (पृथक्) वस्तुओंको अलग-अलग शुद्ध करना

English

On attaining the first Aisvarya, the devotee gets the power of the yogins. This will make him assume such forms that will enable him to cross or float (on water or air). The second (Laghima) is known as the attainment of great quick- ness (Sigliratva) among all living beings. In all the three worlds honour among all living beings is due to one's greatness. Therefore, the third yoga (i.e. Aisvarya) is called Mahitva ( = Mahima) in the world. Prapti enables one to mix at one's will and pleasure with all living beings in the three worlds. By Prakamya the devotee enjoys all desired objects. It is through obstruction somewhere that happiness and misery are brought about in all living beings in the three worlds.

हिन्दी अर्थ

भोजनहेतु अनाजकी राशिके एक भागके दूषित हो जानेपर उतने भागको निकालकर शेष भागका कुशके जलसे प्रोक्षण करना चाहिए। शाक, मूल, फल आदिकी शुद्धि धान्य (अनाज)-की शुद्धिकी भाँति कही जाती है। घरकी शुद्धि मार्जन (जलसेचन) तथा गोबरसे लीपनेसे होती है। मिट्टीका पात्र अग्निमें गर्म करनेसे शुद्ध होता है। भूमिकी शुद्धि खनन (खोदने)- से, गायके गोबरसे लीपनेसे, मलापकरणसे, गायके

English

When all these Siddhis or Aivaryas are attained, sound, touch, taste, smell, colour and the mind, all function or cease to function as the devotee wishes. Thanks to salvation, he is all-pervasive. Being all-per- vasive, he is called Purusa. Due to his subtle nature, Purusa is stationed in the greatest Aivarya (prosperity and glory).

English

The AUvaryas are said to be subtler and greater in ascending order all round. After obtaining the excellent yoga and the unimpeded Aisvaryas, one shall attain salvation. That is the greatest subtle goal. O leading sages, the yoga pertaining to Paupati should be known thus. It bestows the benefits of heaven and salvation. It is the cause of identity with Siva. Or, one who has no perfect knowledge may perform holy rites due to attachments. After enjoying Rjasa and Tamasa pleasures he is liberated there itsclf(i.e. in this world). Similarly, he who performs meritorious deeds attains the benefit in heaven.

But the moment his merits are exhausted the ex- cellent man reverts to the mortal world from that abode. Hence Brahman is the greatest happiness. Brahman is the best and permanent goal. One shall resort to the Brahman alone. Brahman alone is the greatest happiness. All yajfias arc mere waste of energy and no good results from them. One becomes a prey to death by resorting to Yajfias. So liberation is the sole happiness. After seeing the divine Purusa of universal names with fates all rounds the devotee, engaged in medita- tion, devoutly engrossed in the principle of the Brahman can- The yogins who are in union with the deity see the Prakfti of all living beings as acetana (insentient) subtle, all- pervasive and habitually giving birth to many effects.

Then, he changes and gradually crosses worldly ex- istence. Hence, one shall always be engaged in yoga and interested in meditation. He shall meditate on the greatest being.
