Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Chidvilasa Stavah ********************** svaprakAshashivamUrti rEkikA tadvimarshatanurEkikA tayoh sAmarasyatanu riShyatE parA pAdukA parashivAtmano guroh //.......1 In navavarana archana, a very important aspect of worship is performed where the upasaka uses the word padukam pujayami / padukam tarpayami etc. What exactly is this jargon *paduka* is dealt with in the first sloka. Shri Amritanandanatha explains 3 principles here. One is Prakasa, the second is Vimarsha and the third is Paramasiva rupa Para Paduka. The principle Siva is called *Prakasa* and His Shakti is called *Vimarsa*. The union and equilibrium state (the samarasya bhavana) of Prakasa and Vimarsha is called *Paduka*. It is this shiva-shaktyatma principle which is called *Guru Paduka*. Hence, Guru Tattva signifies the three principles of Siva (Prakasa), Sakti (Vimarsa) and Paramasiva (Para / Sarvottama Paduka). The *physical guru* who initiates the disciple in Srividya is contemplated as the *personification* of this union of Siva and Sakti. It is this guru tattva which is described in *Bhavanopanishad* as the Cause of the Effect (Creation) (vide reference *sri guruh parama kAraNa bhUtA saktih..). /////// to be continued /////// with regards, sriram Quote

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Dear ravi, Namaste. It is *eikika* as per my manuscript which is supposed to be the mula patha. The anvayah is given below: svaprakAshashivamUrtih - ekika - tadvimarshatanuh - ekika - parashivAtmanah guroh - parA pAdukA - tayoh - sAmarasyatanuh iShyatE // As regards the intro of the author, i have mentioned his parampara in the first post of the thread. Shri Bhasakararaya Makhin also mentions the name of Amritanandanatha Yogi in his works. with regs, sriram , MSR <abhayambika wrote: > > namaste Sriram, > > Thanks for posting the series. > > sva-prakaasha shiva-muurtiH ekaikaa > tad-vimarsha-tanuH ekaikaa tayoH > saamarasya-tanuH iShyate paraa > paadukaa para-shiva aatmanaH guroH > > Can you please check the word ekikA and clarify if is this ekaika?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 ekaikaa may not conform to vrtta. ekakA seems better. ekikA or aikikA?? I don't know if these words can be formed. Aarathi. Quote
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 The masculine form should be ekaka-- that is the only form attested to my knowledge. The feminine form can be ekikA that is attested too as a feminine of ekaka. So I think I would emend the text to have ekaka with shiva and ekikA with shakti. I did not check if this hrasva in the former affects chandas. Rajita Quote
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Thank you all very much for the clarifications. My question was not from chhandas standpoint - but simply to understand all the words in the verse. paadukaa is singular-feminine, hence both lines can be ekikaa as posted by Sriram. Somehow, the Sriram's 1st mail with a detailed intro was not in my Inbox, I got that now from the archives. I am sorry for missing this. Thanks again.
