Oh God who is fond of living in inaccessible fort, Please grant me the mercy

of staying in the fort of my mind with all necessary attributes, which has

thick courage as the wall, with lots of predominant good qualities as the

friendly Army, with the strong senses as the gates and true knowledge as the

abundant essential commodities.

Hey! ParamEswara! You are capable of doing anything at any time. O! Dweller

of a place that this hard for anyone to access! Why are you always residing

in the mountain? Is it your preference to live in a terrible place? Hey!

Durgaambika prEmi! Do you know there is a more remote place than mahaa

kailaasa parvatham? You can permanently stay there overflowing your

sivaanandham along with paraasakthi. Are you wondering what is that

wonderous place? It is my mind that is the strongest of the forts! It is

surrounded by deep moats all around. You never have to worry that this fort

will ever get destroyed. Because it has been built by surpassing boldness

on my part. And I have put on guard a strong army to guard it from

invaders. You have to know that this remarkable army is made up of saadhu

gunas. It has the openings that are of the indriyas. It is filled with

Brahma Vidhya to know you. Hey! Swayamprakaasi! With paraasakthi as your

consort you can live here permanently.

 

The saaraamsam of this sloka is that one should do dhyaanam of Paramasiva in

his hridhayaakaasam. The antharangasaadhanam for that is manOnnigraham

only. Vidwaans say that this manOnigraham is really the Raja Yoga.

 

Whoever says this slOka and do namaskaram to Paramasiva, in his heart

Paramasiva will live permanently. This is certain!

 

Aum Namasivaaya!
