Five Verses to Arunachala
(Composed by Sri Ramana Maharshi)
करुणापूर्ण सुधाब्धे कबलितघनविश्वरूप किरणाऽवल्या |
अरुणाचल परमात्मन्नरुणो भव चित्तकञ्जसुविकासाय ||
karuNApUrnNa sudhAbdhey kabalitaghanavishwarUpa kiraNAvalyA
aruNAchala paramAtmann-aruNobhava chitta-kanja-suvikAsAya (1)
Ocean of Nectar, filled with Compassion, swallowing the dense universe with your rays of light, O Arunachala, the Supreme itself! Be the sun for the auspicious blossoming of the heart-lotus!
त्वय्यरुणाचल सर्वं भूत्वा स्थित्वा प्रलीनमेतच्चित्रम् |
ह्र्द्यहमित्यामतया नृत्यसि भोस्ते वदन्ति हृदयं नाम ||
tvayyaruNAchala sarvam bhUtvA sthitvA pralInametacchitram
hrdyahamityAmatayA nrutyasi bhoste vadanti hrudayam nAma (2)
O Arunachala! In you, the picture of the universe comes into being, and having existed, is resolved. O Wonder! You are dancing in the heart as the 'I', the Self. Thus your name is Heart.
अहमिति कुत आयाती त्यन्विष्यान्तः प्रविष्टयाऽत्यमलधिया
अवगम्य स्वं रूपं शाम्यत्यरुणाचल त्वयि नदीवाब्धौ ||
ahamiti kuta AyAtI-tI anviShyAntah praviShTayAtyamaladhiyA
avagamya svam rUpam shAmyatyaruNAchala tvayi nadIvAbdhau (3)
Seeking the source of 'I' with a purified mind delving inward, realizing the truth of Self, one gets merged in you, O Arunachala! Just as a river merges into the ocean.
त्यक्त्वा विषयं बाह्यं रुद्धप्राणेन रुद्धमनसाऽन्तस्त्वाम्
ध्यायन्पश्यति योगी दीधितिमरुणाचल त्वयि महीयं ते ||
tyaktvA viShayam bAhyam ruddha-prANena ruddha-manasAntastvAm
dhyAyan-pashyati yogI dIdhitim-aruNAchala tvayi mahIyam te (4)
Abandoning all thought of external objects, controlling the breath and the mind, meditating on you within, the yogi comprehends your light, O Arunachala!
त्वय्यर्पितमनसा त्वां पश्यन् सर्वं तवाकृतितया सततम्
भजतेऽनन्यप्रीत्या स जयत्यरुणाचल त्वयि सुखे मग्नः ||
tvayyarpita-manasA tvAm pashyan sarvam tavAkrutitayA satatam
bhajante'nanya-prItyA sa jayatyaruNAchala tvayi sukh magnah (5)
Offering up the mind to you, always seeing all things as your form, worshipping only you, that one triumphs, O Arunachala! becoming absorbed in your bliss!
श्रीमद्रमणमहर्षे दर्शनमरुणाचलस्य देवगिरा
पञ्चकमार्या गीतौ रत्नं त्विदमौपनिषदं हि ||
shrImad-ramaNa-maharShe darshanam-aruNAchalasya devagirA
panchakam-AryA-gItau ratnam tvidam-aupaniShadam hi
Sri Ramana Maharshi's vision of Arunachala, rendered in these five gem of verses in the Arya meter, is the essence of the Upanishads.
