Regarding Siva Panchadasi mantra uddhara

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Pranams to my gurunatha Anjaneya sastrigal

Pranams to my parama guru Srinivasa sastrigal

Pranams to my paramesti guru Mallikarjuna sastrigal

Pranams to my parapara guru lord Virupaksha of Hampi.

 

With little knowledge of mine I could translate the manuscripts of my

gurunatha which is in telugu into English. However, I could not convey certain

aspects of mantra and vyakarana sastra in English during translation.

 

 

Sloka No. 10: “Tavaisvaryam…….”

 

The word “Analaskandha” means the pillar of fire which denotes Agni and is

represented as ‘R (repha)’ ie., Bija of Agni. Brahma in the form of Hamsa goes

to search the beginning of the pillar of fire. From this “Ha” is derived.

Place “Ha” before “R”. Hari in the form of varaha goes the search the beginning

of pillar. Varaha is the sandhi of “Vara + Ahan”. Vara denotes the Iccha Sakti

and Ahan denotes Luminence. Hence Vara+Ahan denotes Iccha Bhava Prakasa. Iccha

is denoted by letter “E”. This is Kama Kala. Place this letter E after R.

This becomes ‘RE’. Put “Ach” pratyaya to this and it becomes “RU’. Ha and E are

the bijas of Brahma and Hari are having low profiles as they could not see the

beginning and end of Agni. In the Bija “RU”, R is emphasized as Agni in the

form of Siva.

 

In this sloka, “RU” is decoded.

 

Sloka No. 11: Ayatna……

 

There are 2 bija uddharaas. In the word “Dasasya” take the first consonant

“D” and the first consonant “R’ in “Ranakandu”. “DR” is formed. From “Hey

Tripurahara, Idam Sthiraya…, A is derived and from previous bija “RU’, E is

derived which is hidden. “Vishfoorjitam Idam… denotes that Agni Bija “R” has to

be combined once with “A” and “E”. The bija becomes “Dram” “Dreem”. The word

“Tribhuvana” denotes three bhuvanas “A”, “U”, “M”. ie., OM.

 

The mantra becomes so far “RUM OM DRAM OM DREEM”

 

Sloka No. 12 : Amushya….

 

From the word “Kailasa”, take 2 consonants “K and “L” and the vowel “E”. This

becomes “KLEEM”. The word “Patala” denotes again 3 lokas ie., A U M. The

mantra becomes:

 

RUM OM DRAM OM DREEM OM KLEEM

 

Sloka No. 13: Yad ruddhim…

 

From the word “Bana”, take the first consonant “B”. Banasura putting to shade

the wealth of Indra. Indra bija is “L. Add Ach pratyaya to it, it becomes

‘LOO’. Suffix this with ‘B’. It becomes ‘BLOOM’. The word “Parijana Vidhaya

Tribhuvanah” denotes that this BLOOM bija is flanked by pranava on either side

ie., OM BLOOM OM.

The mantra becomes:

 

RUM OM DRAM OM DREEM OM KLEEM OM BLOOM OM

 

Sloka No. 14: Akanda Brahmanda….

 

The word “Visham Samhrutavatah” denotes that we have to pick the consonant

that comes after ‘SHA” ie., ‘SA’. The next word is “Sa Kalmashah’ denotes that

“SA” has to be prefixed with “poorna anuswara” ie., ah. The bija becomes “SAH”.

From the word “Sriyam”, ‘Sri’ is derived which is the kantha (neck) sthana of

siva. The word “Bhuvana Bhanga” says that don’t forget to put pranava ie., OM

in between. The mantra becomes

SAH OM SRIM.

 

The mantra becomes:

 

RUM OM DRAM OM DREEM OM KLEEM OM BLOOM OM SAH OM SRIM

 

The forth paada “Vikaropi Bhuvana Bhaya Bhanga” denotes that we have to pick 3

‘B’s ie., Tribuvana again which is AUM. In word ‘Vikara’ is divided as ‘V +

Ekara’. V is mangala vachaka and E is symbol of 2 in Panini Sutra. Hence,

mantra should end with mangala vachaka twice. The above mantra should be

prefixed and suffixed with OM.

 

Hence, “OM RUM OM DRAM OM DREEM OM KLEEM OM BLOOM OM SAH OM SREEM OM”

 

The meru prastara of this mantra along the srichakra goes like this.

 

OM

SRIM OM

BLOOM OM SAH

OM KLEEM OM DREEM

OM RUM OM DRAM OM

 

One can visualize the SRIM bija as kanta (neck) portion of siva in the yantra.

 

With regards,

 

Sriram

Thanks a lot Sriram for all the effort. These seem to be unknown to

many upAsaka-s.

On a related note, I came across a procedure where each shloka of this

shiva mahimna stuti is coupled with various bIjAkShara-s and recited

either for various kAmya purposes or to simply please the deity.

This stotra is known to be reasonably ancient. It was popular well

before the advent of Adi-Shankara.

Dear satish,

 

I would like to thank you for your compliments but this was a sort of

uncomfort for me. I was just a facilitatator or a medium. We owe much to our

gurus, rishis and our acharyas for handing over such a beautiful hymn of siva.

This stava has been inscribed on the temple wall of inner sanctorum of the

temple of Amareshwar of Omkareshwar kshetra. Both siva mahima stava and

halayudha stava are present till this day. This stava is the sukshma rupa of

srichakra. From sloka no. 10 to 23, entire navaavarana from bindu to

vrittatraya of yantra has been described and encoded.

 

With regards,

 

sriram
