Anantam avayayam karvim samudrentam vishvashambhuvam
Padma kosh pratikasham hridayam cha api adhomukham
अनन्तं अव्ययं कविं समुद्रेन्तं विश्वशंभुवम् |पद्म कोश प्रतीकाशं हृदयं च अपि अधोमुखम् ||
He is the Limitless, Imperishable, Omniscient, residing in the ocean of he heart, the Cause of the happiness of the universe, the Supreme end of all striving, (manifesting Himself) in the ether of the heart which is comparable to an inverted bud of the lotus flower.

Adho nishthaya vitastyante nabhyam upari tisthati
Jvalamalakulam bhati vishvashyayatanam mahata
अधो निष्ठ्या वितस्त्यान्ते नाभ्याम् उपरि तिष्ठति |ज्वालामालाकुलं भाती विश्वस्यायतनं महत् ||
Below the Adams apple, at a distance of a span, and above the navel (i.e., the heart which is the relative seat of the manifestation of Pure Consciousness in the human being), effulges the Great Abode of the universe, as if adorned with garlands of flames.

Satatam shilabhistu lambatya koshsannibham
Tasyante sushiram suksham tashmin sarvam pratishitam
सन्ततं शिलाभिस्तु लम्बत्या कोशसन्निभम् |तस्यान्ते सुषिरं सूक्ष्मं तस्मिन् सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम् ||
Surrounded on all sides by nerve-currents (or arteries), suspends
the lotus-bud of the heart in an inverted position. It is in a subtle space (a narrow aperture, the Sushumna-Nadi), and therein is to be found the Substratum of all things.
9.
Tasya madhye mahaagnih vishvarchi vishvato mukhah
So agravibhajtisthan aharam ajara kavih
तस्य मध्ये महानग्निः विश्वार्चिः विश्वतो मुखः |सोऽग्रविभजंतिष्ठन् आहारं अजरः कविः ||
In that space within the heart resides the Great Flaming Fire, undecaying, all-knowing, with tongues spread out in all directions, with faces turned everywhere, consuming food presented before it, and assimilating it unto itself.
10.
Tiryagurdhvamdhasshayi rashmaha tasya santata
Santapyati svam dehampadatalmastakah
Tasya madhye vahnishikha aniyordhva vyavasthitah
तिर्यगूर्ध्वमधश्शायी रश्मयः तस्य सन्तता |सन्तापयति स्वं देहमापादतलमास्तकः |तस्य मध्ये वह्निशिखा अणीयोर्ध्वा व्यवस्थिताः ||
His rays, spreading all around, side ways as well as above and below, warm up the whole body from head to foot. In the center of That (Flame) abides the Tongue of Fire as the topmost of all subtle things. (Note: Due to the attachments and entanglements of the Jiva in worldly enjoyment and suffering, the Consciousness is enshrouded in potential as well as expressed objectivity, and hence it appears like a tiny streak of flame within the dark clouds of ignorance. But when the Jiva rises above worldliness the Consciousness is realised as he Infinite.)
11
Neeltoyad madhyastha dvidyullekheva bhasvara
Neevarshukvattanvai peeta bhasvataynupama
नीलतोयद-मध्यस्थ-द्विद्युल्लेखेव भास्वरा |नीवारशूकवत्तन्वी पीता भास्वत्यणूपमा ||
Brilliant like a streak of lightning set in the midst of the blue rain-bearing clouds, slender like the awn of a paddy grain, yellow (like gold) in colour,in subtlety comparable to the minute atom, (this Tongue of Fire) grows splendid.
12
Tasya shikaya madhye parmatma vyavasthitah
Sa bramh sa shiva sa harih sa indrah soakshrah paramah svarat
तस्याः शिखाया मध्ये परमात्मा व्यवस्थितः |स ब्रह्म स शिवः स हरिः स इन्द्रः सोऽक्षरः परमः स्वराट् ||
In the Middle of That Flame, the Supreme Self dwells. This (Self) is Brahma (the Creator), Siva (the Destroyer), Hari (the Protector), Indra (the Ruler), the Imperishable, the Absolute, the Autonomous Being. Prostrations again and again to the Omni-Formed Being, the Truth, the Law, the Supreme Absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the Centralised-Force, Power, the All-Seeing One.
13
Ritam satyam param bramh purusham krishn pingalam
Urdhvaretam virupkasham vishvarupaya vai namo namah
ऋतं सत्यं परं ब्रह्म पुरुषं कृष्ण पिङ्गलम् |ऊर्ध्वरेतं विरूपाक्षं विश्वरूपाय वै नमो नमः ||
Prostrations again and again to the Omni-Formed Being, the Truth, the Law, the Supreme Absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the Centralised-Force, Power, the All-Seeing One.
Om Narayanaya vidmahe vasudevayah dheemahi
Tanno Vishnu prachodyat
ॐ नारायणाय विद्महे वासुदेवाय धीमहि |तन्नो विष्णुः प्रचोदयात् ||
We commune ourselves with Narayana, and meditate on Vasudeva,
may that Vishnu direct us (to the Great Goal).
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti!!!
