Sat-Cakra-Narupana

Purnananda Swami

PART
FIVE
The Visuddha Cakra
|
28.
In the throat is the Lotus called Visuddha, which is
pure and of a smoky purple hue. All the (sixteen) shining
vowels on its (sixteen) petals, of a crimson hue, are
distinctly visible to him whose mind (Buddhi) is illumined.
In the pericarp of this lotus there is the Ethereal
Region, circular in shape, and white like the full Moon.
On an elephant white as snow is seated the Bija of Ambara,
who is white of colour.
|
|
Moon
= Mantra = here, "ham"
Ambara
= the Ethereal Region
|

29.
Of his Four arms, two hold the noose and goad, and the
other two make the gestures of granting boons and dispelling
fear. These add to His beauty. In His lap there ever
dwells the great snow-white Deva, three-eyed and five-faced,
with ten beautiful arms, and clothed in a tiger's skin.
His body is united with that of Girija, and He is known
by what His name, Sadha-Siva, signifies.
|
|
Noose
= pasa
Goad
= Ankusa
Gestures
= mudras
Girija
= mountain-born
Sada-Siva
= ever-beneficent

30.
Purer than the Ocean of Nectar is the Sakti Sakini who
dwells in this Lotus. Her raiment is yellow, and in
Her four lotus-hands She carries the bow, the arrow,
the noose, and the goad. The whole region of the Moon
without the mark of the hare is in the pericarp of this
Lotus. This (region) is the gateway of great Liberation
for him who desires the wealth of Yoga and whose senses
are pure and controlled.
|
|
Mark
of the hare = man in the moon.

|
31.
He who has attained complete knowledge of the Atma (Brahman)
becomes by constantly concentrating his mind (Citta)
on this Lotus a great Sage, eloquent and wise, and enjoys
uninterrupted peace of mind. He sees the three periods,
and becomes the benefactor of all, free from disease
and sorrows and long-lived, and, like Hamsa, the destroyer
of endless dangers.
|
|
Sage
= kavi
Three
periods = past, present, and future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
31a.
The Yogi, his mind constantly fixed on this Lotus, his
breath controlled by Kumbhaka, is in his wrath able
to move all the three worlds. Neither Brahma nor Visnu,
neither Hari-Hara nor Surya nor Ganapa is able to control
his power (resist him).
|
|
The
translator has numbered this verse "31a" because
it does not appear in the texts used by two of the three
commentators on whom he relies.
Kumbhaka
= retention of breath in pranayama
Ganapa
= Ganesa
