Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s
The Aphorisms about the Recognition of the Lord
Introduction
The Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s (The aphorisms about the Recognition of the Lord) was written by the great Master Utpaladeva (9th century A.D). His Guru, Somānanda, was the founder of the Pratyabhijñā section of Trika Shaivism by means of the glorious Śivadṛṣṭi (a very important scripture). The greatest Trika Master of all time, Abhinavagupta (whose grandGuru was Utpaladeva himself) wrote a commentary on Śivadṛṣṭi. Anyway, this valuable commentary is now lost. This reduced the fame of Śivadṛṣṭi, because it is well known in this system that if your scripture received a commentary by Abhinavagupta, its fame will increase. The Pratyabhijñā section of Trika Shaivism teaches that your real identity (i.e. Śiva) is not to be "known" but "recognized". As Śiva is the Highest Knower, He cannot be known. Nonetheless, He can be recognized by a person on whom His Grace has been bestowed. The distinctive characteristic of the Pratyabhijñā section is that the authors here strive to give a rational support to the teachings which were enunciated kind of dogmatically before (e.g. in the Spanda section). Utpaladeva, the main disciple of Somānanda, wrote this crucial book called Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s (Aphorisms about the Recognition of the Lord), which is considered to be the most relevant scripture in the Pratyabhijñā section. Its fame exponentially increased due to the two Abhinavagupta's commentaries on it: Īśvarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī and Īsvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī. What Abhinavagupta blessed was turned into gold. Utpaladeva was the Guru of Lakṣmaṇagupta, and Lakṣmaṇagupta was one of the twelve Guru-s of Abhinavagupta. Hence Abhinavagupta mentions Utpaladeva in his scriptures like "Parameṣṭhī" (grandGuru, i.e. Guru of his Guru).
This Utpaladeva's scripture is then extremely important for all the followers of Trika Shaivism. It is a real panacea curing the sickness known as an intellect replete with misconceptions. Utpaladeva wrote a short commentary on it, called Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikāvṛtti. The structure of Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā is like this:
- Section 1: Jñānādhikāraḥ (Section about Knowledge) — It contains 88 stanzas
- Section 2: Kriyādhikāraḥ (Section about Action) — It contains 53 stanzas
- Section 3: Āgamādhikāraḥ (Section about revealed scriptures) — It contains 31 stanzas
- Section 4: Tattvasaṅgrahādhikāraḥ (Section about a compendium of tattva-s) — It contains 18 stanzas
- Number of stanzas in Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā: 190
Goal of life is Liberation. Man has searched for freedom always in human history, but according to Trika Shaivism that is not real Liberation. Real Liberation does not mean that your body should be free from some prison and things like that. Real Liberation amounts to attaining His Svātantrya or Absolute Freedom. When the Great Lord's Svātantrya is achieved, then you see unity in all the things, i.e. you stop seeing duality as before. All is forever identified with Svātantrya, with Him, and that is the end of the story called 'you in bondage'. From this point on nothing will get in your way, because if something apparently gets in your way, that is Svātantrya again. This constant awareness of unity in all is real Freedom. There is no other attainment greater than this!
Keeping the above in mind, now read Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s and experience Supreme Delight, dear Śiva.

Chapter 1.1
कथञ्चिदासाद्य महेश्वरस्य दास्यं जनस्याप्युपकारमिच्छन्।
समस्तसम्पत्समवाप्तिहेतुं तत्प्रत्यभिज्ञामुपपादयामि॥१.१.१॥
Kathañcidāsādya maheśvarasya dāsyaṁ janasyāpyupakāramicchan|
Samastasampatsamavāptihetuṁ tatpratyabhijñāmupapādayāmi||1.1.1||
Having obtained (āsādya) somehow (kathañcid) the state of servant (dāsyam) of the Great Lord (mahā-īśvarasya) (and) wishing (icchan) the benefit (upakāram) of the mankind (janasya) as well (api), I present/prove (upapādayāmi) His recognition (tad-pratyabhijñām) —which is the cause of the attainment of all success/accomplishment (samasta-sampad-samavāpti-hetum)—||1.1.1||
कर्तरि ज्ञातरि स्वात्मन्यादिसिद्धे महेश्वरे।
अजडात्मा निषेधं वा सिद्धिं वा विदधीत कः॥१.१.२॥
Kartari jñātari svātmanyādisiddhe maheśvare|
Ajaḍātmā niṣedhaṁ vā siddhiṁ vā vidadhīta kaḥ||1.1.2||
What (kaḥ) intelligent being --"ajaḍa" also means "not inert"-- (ajaḍa-ātmā) could establish (vidadhīta) the negation (niṣedham) or (vā... vā) the proof (siddhim) with reference to the Great Lord (mahā-īśvare) who is the Doer (kartari), the Knower (jñātari), one's own Self (sva-ātmani) (and) who has been proved in the first place --i.e. from the beginning-- (ādi-siddhe)?||1.1.2||
किं तु मोहवशादस्मिन्दृष्टेऽप्यनुपलक्षिते।
शक्त्याविष्करणेनेयं प्रत्यभिज्ञोपदर्श्यते॥१.१.३॥
Kiṁ tu mohavaśādasmindṛṣṭe'pyanupalakṣite|
Śaktyāviṣkaraṇeneyaṁ pratyabhijñopadarśyate||1.1.3||
However (kim tu), though (api) He is perceived (asmin dṛṣṭe), (He is) not understood --viz. realized-- (anupalakṣite) on account of Delusion --i.e. Māyā-- (moha-vaśāt). (Therefore,) this (iyam) Recognition (pratyabhijñā) is (being) shown (padarśyate) by means of the display of the Powers (śakti-āviṣkaraṇena)||1.1.3||
तथा हि जडभूतानां प्रतिष्ठा जीवदाश्रया।
ज्ञानं क्रिया च भूतानां जीवतां जीवनं मतम्॥१.१.४॥
Tathā hi jaḍabhūtānāṁ pratiṣṭhā jīvadāśrayā|
Jñānaṁ kriyā ca bhūtānāṁ jīvatāṁ jīvanaṁ matam||1.1.4||
Similarly (tathā hi), the basis/foundation (pratiṣṭhā) of the positive entities which are inert (jaḍa-bhūtānām) depends on what is alive (jīvat-āśrayā). Knowledge (jñānam) and (ca) Action (kriyā) are regarded as (matam) the Life (jīvanam) of the living beings (bhūtānām jīvatām)||1.1.4||
तत्र ज्ञानं स्वतःसिद्धं क्रिया कायाश्रिता सती।
परैरप्युपलक्ष्येत तयान्यज्ञानमूह्यते॥१.१.५॥
Tatra jñānaṁ svataḥsiddhaṁ kriyā kāyāśritā satī|
Parairapyupalakṣyeta tayānyajñānamūhyate||1.1.5||
In that case (tatra), Knowledge (jñānam) (is) self-proved (svataḥsiddham) (while) Action (kriyā) —which depends on the body (kāya-āśritā satī)— is perceived (upalakṣyeta) by others (paraiḥ) too (api). Through It --i.e. through Action-- (tayā), Knowledge in others (anya-jñānam) is inferred (ūhyate)||1.1.5||
Chapter 1.2
ननु स्वलक्षणाभासं ज्ञानमेकं परं पुनः।
साभिलापं विकल्पाख्यं बहुधा नापि तद्द्वयम्॥१.२.१॥
नित्यस्य कस्यचिद्द्रष्टुस्तस्यात्रानवभासतः।
अहम्प्रतीतिरप्येषा शरीराद्यवसायिनी॥१.२.२॥
Nanu svalakṣaṇābhāsaṁ jñānamekaṁ paraṁ punaḥ|
Sābhilāpaṁ vikalpākhyaṁ bahudhā nāpi taddvayam||1.2.1||
Nityasya kasyaciddraṣṭustasyātrānavabhāsataḥ|
Ahampratītirapyeṣā śarīrādyavasāyinī||1.2.2||
An objection (by the Buddhists) (nanu): (There is) one (ekam) knowledge (jñānam) which has to do with the appearance of the thing (itself) --lit. having its own specific characteristics-- (sva-lakṣaṇa-ābhāsam) and --lit. moreover-- (punar) another (knowledge) (param) called vikalpa --viz. on the mental level-- (vikalpa-ākhyam) furnished with expression or speech (sa-abhilāpam) in many ways --i.e. manifoldly-- (bahudhā). Neither of those two (na api tad-dvayam) belongs to some invariable/perpetual perceiver (nityasya kasyacid draṣṭuḥ) since he --viz. the perceiver-- does not appear (tasya... anavabhāsataḥ) here --in those two kinds of knowledge-- (atra). Even (api) this (eṣā) notion of "I" (aham-pratītiḥ) resides in body, etc. (śarīra-ādi-avasāyinī)||1.2.1-2||
अथानुभवविध्वंसे स्मृतिस्तदनुरोधिनी।
कथं भवेन्न नित्यः स्यादात्मा यद्यनुभावकः॥१.२.३॥
Athānubhavavidhvaṁse smṛtistadanurodhinī|
Kathaṁ bhavenna nityaḥ syādātmā yadyanubhāvakaḥ||1.2.3||
(Reply by Utpaladeva:) Now (atha), how (katham) could memory exist (smṛtiḥ... bhavet) on the cessation of the experience --i.e. of the perception of a thing-- (anubhava-vidhvaṁse) —(taking into account that memory) complies with that --viz. with the experience-- (tad-anurodhinī)— if (yadi) there was no (na... syāt) invariable/perpetual (nityaḥ) Self (ātmā) who is the perceiver --lit. making one apprehend or perceive-- (anubhāvakaḥ)?||1.2.3||
सत्यप्यात्मनि दृङ्नाशात्तद्द्वारा दृष्टवस्तुषु।
स्मृतिः केनाथ यत्रैवानुभवस्तत्पदैव सा॥१.२.४॥
Satyapyātmani dṛṅnāśāttaddvārā dṛṣṭavastuṣu|
Smṛtiḥ kenātha yatraivānubhavastatpadaiva sā||1.2.4||
(The Buddhists object:) Even (api) although the Self exists (sati... ātmani), since there is disappearance of the act of perceiving (something) (dṛś-nāśāt), how (kena) (can) memory related to perceived things and occurring through that --i.e. through the act of perceiving-- (exist) (tad-dvārā dṛṣṭa-vastuṣu... smṛtiḥ)? (Utpaladeva replies:) But (atha) it --viz. memory-- (sā) is only occupied with that --i.e. with the object of perception-- (tad-padā eva) regarding which (yatra eva) (there was) direct perception (anubhavaḥ) --i.e. the object of perception of the memory is that of the act of direct perception itself, it is not a new object--||1.2.4||
यतो हि पूर्वानुभवसंस्कारात्स्मृतिसम्भवः।
यद्येवमन्तर्गडुना कोऽर्थः स्यात्स्थायिनात्मना॥१.२.५॥
Yato hi pūrvānubhavasaṁskārātsmṛtisambhavaḥ|
Yadyevamantargaḍunā ko'rthaḥ syātsthāyinātmanā||1.2.5||
(Utpaladeva continues: Why?) Because (yatas) there is memory (smṛti-sambhavaḥ) due to the impression of the previous experience (pūrva-anubhava-saṁskārāt). (So, the Buddhists reply:) If (yadi) it is so (evam), what would be the use (kaḥ arthaḥ syāt) of an inner (antar) Self (ātmanā) standing (sthāyinā) like a superfluous addition (gaḍunā)?||1.2.5||
ततो भिन्नेषु धर्मेषु तत्स्वरूपाविशेषतह्।
संस्कारात्स्मृतिसिद्धौ स्यात्स्मर्ता द्रष्टेव कल्पितः॥१.२.६॥
Tato bhinneṣu dharmeṣu tatsvarūpāviśeṣatah|
Saṁskārātsmṛtisiddhau syātsmartā draṣṭeva kalpitaḥ||1.2.6||
(The Buddhists continue:) On that account (tatas), since the essential nature of That --i.e. of the Self-- does not change (tad-svarūpa-aviśeṣatah) with reference to the different qualities --e.g. pleasure, pain, knowledge, etc.-- (bhinneṣu dharmeṣu), (and since) memory can be proved (smṛiti-siddhau syāt) through the impression(s) (saṁskārāt), (therefore,) the recollector --i.e. the Subject during the activity of recollecting-- (smartā) (is) a product of imagination (kalpitaḥ) just as (iva) the perceiver --viz. the Subject during the activity of perceiving things-- (draṣṭā)||1.2.6||
ज्ञानं च चित्स्वरूपं चेत्तदनित्यं किमात्मवत्।
अथापि जडमेतस्य कथमर्थप्रकाशता॥१.२.७॥
Jñānaṁ ca citsvarūpaṁ cettadanityaṁ kimātmavat|
Athāpi jaḍametasya kathamarthaprakāśatā||1.2.7||
(The objectors assert now:) And (ca) if (ced) Knowledge (jñānam) has the nature of Consciousness --i.e. if it is conscious, if it is the Self-- (cit-svarūpam), that --viz. Knowledge-- (tad) not being invariable/perpetual (anityam), how (kim) (is it) like the Self (ātma-vat)? But if (atha api) it is inert --i.e. if it is not conscious-- (jaḍam etasya), how (katham) (is it) the Light of the objects --viz. how is it that Knowledge illuminate the objects?-- (artha-prakāśatā)?||1.2.7||
अथार्थस्य यथा रूपं धत्ते बुद्धिस्तथात्मनः।
चैतन्यमजडा सैवं जाड्ये नार्थप्रकासता॥१.२.८॥
Athārthasya yathā rūpaṁ dhatte buddhistathātmanaḥ|
Caitanyamajaḍā saivaṁ jāḍye nārthaprakāsatā||1.2.8||
(Utpaladeva replies:) Just as (yathā) the intellect (buddhiḥ) assumes (dhatte) the form (rūpam) of the object (arthasya), so also (tathā) (it assumes) the consciousness (caitanyam) of the Self (ātmanaḥ). (Buddhists say then:) Thus (eva), it --i.e. the intellect-- (sā) is not inert (ajaḍā) (because) if it is inert (jāḍye) it is not (na) the Light of the objects --viz. it cannot illuminate the objects-- (artha-prakāsatā)||1.2.8||
क्रियाप्यर्थस्य कायादेस्तत्तद्देशादिजातता।
नान्यादृष्टेर्न साप्येका क्रमिकैकस्य चोचिता॥१.२.९॥
Kriyāpyarthasya kāyādestattaddeśādijātatā|
Nānyādṛṣṭerna sāpyekā kramikaikasya cocitā||1.2.9||
(The Buddhists continue to reason like this:) Also (api), the action (kriyā) of an object (arthasya) (has to do with) the production of bodies, etc. in different places, etc. (kāya-ādeḥ tad-tad-deśa-ādi-jātatā) as nothing else is perceived (na-anya-adṛṣṭeḥ). Nor (na... api) (is) it --viz. Action-- (sā) acceptable (ucitā) as being one --i.e. one single thing-- (ekā) when it is one in a succession --lit. one and successive-- (kramika-ekasya ca)||1.2.9||
तत्र तत्र स्थिते तत्तद्भवतीत्येव दृश्यते।
नान्यन्नान्योऽस्ति सम्बन्धः कार्यकारणभावतः॥१.२.१०॥
Tatra tatra sthite tattadbhavatītyeva dṛśyate|
Nānyannānyo'sti sambandhaḥ kāryakāraṇabhāvataḥ||1.2.10||
(The Buddhists continue here too:) This is what is seen (iti eva dṛśyate) (and) nothing else (na anyat): "Various (things) (tad tad) exist (bhavati) in various (things) that were (already) present (tatra tatra sthite)". There is no (na... asti) other (anyaḥ) relation (sambandhaḥ) than the state or relation of cause and effect (kārya-kāraṇa-bhāvataḥ)||1.2.10||
द्विष्ठस्यानेकरूपत्वात्सिद्धस्यान्यानपेक्षणात्।
पारतन्त्र्याद्ययोगाच्च तेन कर्तापि कल्पितः॥१.२.११॥
Dviṣṭhasyānekarūpatvātsiddhasyānyānapekṣaṇāt|
Pāratantryādyayogācca tena kartāpi kalpitaḥ||1.2.11||
(The Buddhist keep arguing: Why is a relation, apart from that of cause and effect, not possible?) Because the two elements (on which a relation is based) are more than one (dviṣṭhasya aneka-rūpatvāt); because something which is accomplished does not require another (siddhasya anya-anapekṣaṇāt); and also (ca) because dependence on others, etc. is unsuitable (pāratantrya-ādi-ayogāt). On that account (tena), even (api) the Doer (kartā) is a product of imagination --lit. imagined-- (kalpitaḥ)||1.2.11||
Chapter 1.3
सत्यं किंतु स्मृतिज्ञानं पूर्वानुभवसंस्कृतेः।
जातमप्यात्मनिष्ठं तन्नाद्यानुभववेदकम्॥१.३.१॥
Satyaṁ kiṁtu smṛtijñānaṁ pūrvānubhavasaṁskṛteḥ|
Jātamapyātmaniṣṭhaṁ tannādyānubhavavedakam||1.3.1||
(Utpaladeva replied:) It is true (satyam)! However (kiṁtu), the knowledge called memory (smṛti-jñānam), though (api) born (jātam) from the impression of the previous experience (pūrva-anubhava-saṁskṛteḥ), remains in itself (ātma-niṣṭham). It --i.e. the knowledge called memory-- (tad) does not know the experience that was at the beginning (na ādya-anubhava-vedakam)||1.3.1||
दृक्स्वाभासैव नान्येन वेद्या रूपदृशेव दृक्।
रसे संस्कारजत्वं तु तत्तुल्यत्वं न तद्गतिः॥१.३.२॥
Dṛksvābhāsaiva nānyena vedyā rūpadṛśeva dṛk|
Rase saṁskārajatvaṁ tu tattulyatvaṁ na tadgatiḥ||1.3.2||
(Utpaladeva continues:) Knowing (dṛk) (is) self-luminous (svābhāsā eva) (and) is not known (na... vedyā) by another (knowing) (anyena) just as (iva) knowing (dṛk) related to taste (tase) (is not known) by the knowing of a form (rūpa-dṛśā). (As memory) is born from impressions (saṁskāra-jatvam tu) (it is endowed with) similarity to that --i.e. to the previous experience-- (tad-tulyatvam) (but it) is not (na) an act of knowing that --viz. the previous experience-- (tad-gatiḥ)||1.3.2||
अथातद्विषयत्वेऽपि स्मृतेस्तदवसायतः।
दृष्टालम्बनता भ्रान्त्या तदेतदसमञ्जसम्॥१.३.३॥
Athātadviṣayatve'pi smṛtestadavasāyataḥ|
Dṛṣṭālambanatā bhrāntyā tadetadasamañjasam||1.3.3||
(Utpaladeva keeps saying that Buddhists could object in this way:) So (atha), though (api) (memory) does not have them --i.e. previous experience and the thing itself-- in its sphere (a-tad-viṣayatve), a base on something which has been perceived (dṛṣṭa-ālambanatā) (is assigned) by mistake (to the memory) --in other words, something which has been perceived is thought to be the base for memory-- (bhrāntyā). (Why?) Because memory determines them --viz. previous experience and the thing itself-- (smṛteḥ tad-avasāyataḥ). Therefore (tad), this (etad) (is) improper/absurd (asamañjasam)||1.3.3||
स्मृतितैव कथं तावद्भ्रान्तेश्चार्थस्थितिः कथम्।
पूर्वानुभवसंस्कारापेक्षा च किमितीष्यते॥१.३.४॥
Smṛtitaiva kathaṁ tāvadbhrānteścārthasthitiḥ katham|
Pūrvānubhavasaṁskārāpekṣā ca kimitīṣyate||1.3.4||
(Utpaladeva adds: If there is a mistake, then) how (katham) (is) memory (smṛtitā eva) really (tāvat)? And (ca) how (katham) (can) the establishment of objects --i.e. the usual process in the worldly life-- (artha-sthitiḥ) (come) from a mistake (bhrānteḥ)? And (ca) why (kim iti) is dependence on impressions of the previous experience required (pūrva-anubhava-saṁskāra-apekṣā... iṣyate) (if it is just a mistake)?||1.3.4||
भ्रान्तित्वे चावसायस्य न जडाद्विषयस्थितिः।
ततोऽजाड्ये निजोल्लेखनिष्ठान्नार्थस्थितिस्ततः॥१.३.५॥
Bhrāntitve cāvasāyasya na jaḍādviṣayasthitiḥ|
Tato'jāḍye nijollekhaniṣṭhānnārthasthitistataḥ||1.3.5||
And (ca) if the determination --i.e. determinative knowledge-- is a mistake (bhrāntitve... avasāyasya) there is no establishment of objects (through it) (na... viṣaya-sthitiḥ) as it is inert --viz. it is insentient-- (jaḍāt). Moreover (tatas), if it is not inert --viz. if it is sentient-- (ajāḍye), in that case (tatas), there is no establishment of objects (either) (na artha-sthitiḥ) since it remains in its own delineation --i.e. it remains in its own creation inside-- (nija-ullekha-niṣṭhāt) ||1.3.5||
एवमन्योन्यभिन्नानामपरस्परवेदिनाम्।
ज्ञानानामनुसन्धानजन्मा नश्येज्जनस्थितिः॥१.३.६॥
Evamanyonyabhinnānāmaparasparavedinām|
Jñānānāmanusandhānajanmā naśyejjanasthitiḥ||1.3.6||
Thus (evam), the continued existence of the human world (jana-sthitiḥ) —which is born from the unification --also, "congruous/suitable connection"-- (anusandhāna-janmā) of cognitions (jñānānām) that are separate from each other (anyonya-bhinnānām) (and) that do not know one another (a-paraspara-vedinām)— would be destroyed (naśyet)... --it continues in the next stanza--||1.3.6||
न चेदन्तःकृतानन्तविश्वरूपो महेश्वरः।
स्यादेकश्चिद्वपुर्ज्ञानस्मृत्यपोहनशक्तिमान्॥१.३.७॥
Na cedantaḥkṛtānantaviśvarūpo maheśvaraḥ|
Syādekaścidvapurjñānasmṛtyapohanaśaktimān||1.3.7||
... if (ced) there was no (na... syāt) Great Lord (mahā-īśvaraḥ) who contains within Himself infinite universal forms (antaḥ-kṛta-ananta-viśva-rūpaḥ), who is One (ekaḥ), whose form is Consciousness (cit-vapus), (and) who is Possessor of the powers of knowledge, memory and differentiation/removal (jñāna-smṛti-apohana-śaktimān)||1.3.7||
Chapter 1.4
स हि पूर्वानुभूतार्थोपलब्धा परतोऽपि सन्।
विमृशन्स इति स्वैरी स्मरतीत्यपदिश्यते॥१.४.१॥
Sa hi pūrvānubhūtārthopalabdhā parato'pi san|
Vimṛśansa iti svairī smaratītyapadiśyate||1.4.1||
The Perceiver of the thing previously perceived (saḥ hi pūrva-anubhūta-artha-upalabdhā) exists (san) also (api) afterward --i.e. when He remembers what He perceived before-- (paratas). Becoming aware of (that perceived thing now in the memory) (vimṛśan) as "that" (saḥ iti), the Free One (svairī) is said to remember (smarati iti apadiśyate)||1.4.1||
भासयेच्च स्वकालेऽर्थात्पूर्वाभासितमामृशन्।
स्वलक्षणं घटाभासमात्रेणाथाखिलात्मना॥१.४.२॥
Bhāsayecca svakāle'rthātpūrvābhāsitamāmṛśan|
Svalakṣaṇaṁ ghaṭābhāsamātreṇāthākhilātmanā||1.4.2||
And (ca), as a matter of fact (arthāt), reflecting upon (āmṛśan) the object (itself) --lit. having its own specific characteristics-- (sva-lakṣaṇam) which has been manifested previously (pūrva-ābhāsitam), He manifests (bhāsayet), at the right time --at the right moment of remembering-- (sva-kāle), (that very object) as a single appearance (called) pot (ghaṭa-ābhāsa-mātreṇa) or (atha) as the whole thing --i.e. the pot with all of its attributes-- (akhila-ātmanā)||1.4.2||
न च युक्तं स्मृतेर्भेदे स्मर्यमाणस्य भासनम्।
तेनैक्यं भिन्नकालानां संविदां वेदितैष सः॥१.४.३॥
Na ca yuktaṁ smṛterbhede smaryamāṇasya bhāsanam|
Tenaikyaṁ bhinnakālānāṁ saṁvidāṁ veditaiṣa saḥ||1.4.3||
And (ca) it is not (na) appropriate (yuktam) (to say that there is) a manifestation --lit. an act of shining-- (bhāsanam) of the thing being remembered (smaryamāṇasya) as separate (bhede) from memory (smṛteḥ). For that reason (tena), the unity (aikyam) of cognitions (saṁvidām) happening at different moments (bhinna-kālānām) (is) this very (eṣaḥ saḥ) Knower (veditā) --a less literal but possible translation would be: "(is) that Knower (which remained hidden and now has been brought to light as) this"--||1.4.3||
नैव ह्यनुभवो भाति स्मृतौ पूर्वोऽर्थवत्पृथक्।
प्रागन्वभूवमहमित्यात्मारोहणभासनात्॥१.४.४॥
Naiva hyanubhavo bhāti smṛtau pūrvo'rthavatpṛthak|
Prāganvabhūvamahamityātmārohaṇabhāsanāt||1.4.4||
The previous (pūrvaḥ) experience (anubhavaḥ) does not at all (na eva hi) shine/appear (bhāti) separately (pṛthak) in memory (smṛtau) like the object (artha-vat), because it appears as being established in the Self (ātma-ārohaṇa-bhāsanāt) (in the form of) "I (aham) experienced (anvabhūvam) (this) before (prāk... iti)"||1.4.4||
योगिनामपि भासन्ते न दृशो दर्शनान्तरे।

Yogināmapi bhāsante na dṛśo darśanāntare|
Svasaṁvidekamānāstā bhānti meyapade'pi vā||1.4.5||
The perceptions (of others) (dṛśaḥ) do not (na) shine/appear (as objects) (bhāsante) even (api) within the perception (darśana-antare) of the Yogī-s (yoginām). They --i.e. such perceptions-- (tāḥ) (rather) shine/appear (bhānti) like one with one's own Consciousness (sva-saṁvid-eka-mānāḥ). Or (vā) even (api) if they had the state of objects (meya-pade), (the same teaching is valid)||1.4.5||
स्मर्यते यद् दृगासीन्मे सैवमित्यपि भेदतः।

Smaryate yad dṛgāsīnme saivamityapi bhedataḥ|

That (tad) which (yad) is remembered (smaryate) separately (bhedataḥ) even (api) (as) "That (sā) perception (dṛk) was (āsīt) in me (me) thus (evam iti)" (is) only (eva) an explanation (vyākaraṇam) of that memory (āsyāḥ... smṛteḥ) (appearing as) "I saw/perceived --lit. seen/perceived by me-- (mayā dṛṣṭam iti)"||1.4.6||
या च पश्याम्यहमिमं घटोऽयमिति वावसा।

Yā ca paśyāmyahamimaṁ ghaṭo'yamiti vāvasā|
Manyate samavetaṁ sāpyavasātari darśanam||1.4.7||
And (ca) the determinate knowledge (avasā... sā api) which (yā) (appears as) "I (aham) see (paśyāmi) this (imam)" or (vā) "This (ayam) (is) a pot (ghaṭaḥ... iti)" considers (manyate) the perception (darśanam) to be inherent (samavetam) in the Knower --i.e. in the Subject of the determinate knowledge-- (avasātari)||1.4.7||
तन्मया दृश्यते दृष्टोऽयं स इत्यामृशत्यपि।

Tanmayā dṛśyate dṛṣṭo'yaṁ sa ityāmṛśatyapi|
Grāhyagrāhakatābhinnāvarthau bhātaḥ pramātari||1.4.8||
Therefore (tad), (since) he considers (like this:) (āmṛśati api) "I see --lit. it is seen by me-- (mayā dṛśyate), I saw --lit. it was seen by me-- (mayā... dṛṣṭaḥ), this (ayam), that (saḥ iti)", the two realities --lit. two things-- (arthau) divided into the state of knowable and the state of (limited) knower (grāhya-grāhakatā-bhinnau) shine --i.e. appear-- (bhātaḥ) in the Knower (pramātari)||1.4.8||
Chapter 1.5
वर्तमानावभासानां भावानामवभासनम्।
अन्तःस्थितवतामेव घटते बहिरात्मना॥१.५.१॥
Vartamānāvabhāsānāṁ bhāvānāmavabhāsanam|
Antaḥsthitavatāmeva ghaṭate bahirātmanā||1.5.1||
The manifestation (avabhāsanam) of positive entities --viz. entities which exist-- (bhāvānām) appearing at present (vartamāna-avabhāsānām) is possible (ghaṭate) outside (bahis) only (eva) if they reside within (antar-sthitavatām) as the Self (ātmanā)||1.5.1||
प्रागिवार्थोऽप्रकाशः स्यात्प्रकाशात्मतया विना।
न च प्रकाशो भिन्नः स्यादुत्मार्थस्य प्रकाशता॥१.५.२॥
Prāgivārtho'prakāśaḥ syātprakāśātmatayā vinā|
Na ca prakāśo bhinnaḥ syādātmārthasya prakāśatā||1.5.2||
Without (vinā) Light (prakāśa-ātmatayā), the knowable --i.e. the object-- (arthaḥ) would be (syāt) unmanifested --lit. non-Light-- (aprakāśaḥ) as before (prāk iva). And (ca) the Light (prakāśaḥ) is not (na... syāt) different (from the knowable or object) (bhinnaḥ) (because) Luminosity (prakāśatā) (is) the (very) essence/soul (ātmā) of the knowable or object (arthasya)||1.5.2||
भिन्ने प्रकाशे चाभिन्ने सङ्करो विषयस्य तत्।
प्रकाशात्मा प्रकाश्योऽर्थो नाप्रकाशश्च सिध्यति॥१.५.३॥
Bhinne prakāśe cābhinne saṅkaro viṣayasya tat|
Prakāśātmā prakāśyo'rtho nāprakāśaśca sidhyati||1.5.3||
If Light were undifferentiated and differentiated (bhinne prakāśe ca abhinne), then (tad) (there would be) confusion or intermixture (saṅkaraḥ) of object(s) (viṣayasya). The object (arthaḥ) being illuminated or brought to light (prakāśyaḥ) is the Light (Itself) (prakāśa-ātmā). Non-light --i.e. which is not manifested-- (aprakāśaḥ ca) cannot be proved (na... sidhyate||1.5.3||
तत्तदाकस्मिकाभासो बाह्यं चेदनुमापयेत्।

Tattadākasmikābhāso bāhyaṁ cedanumāpayet|
Na hyabhinnasya bodhasya vicitrābhāsahetutā||1.5.4||
(An objection by a follower of Vijñānavāda Buddhism:) The undifferentiated Consciousness (abhinnasya bodhasya) is not at all (na hi) the cause of various manifestations (vicitra-ābhāsa-hetutā) if (ced) the different causeless manifestation(s) (tad-tad-ākasmika-ābhāsaḥ) lead one to infer (anumāpayet) (the presence of) an external object (as the real cause) (bāhyam)||1.5.4||
न वासनाप्रबोधोऽत्र विचित्रो हेतुतामियात्।

Na vāsanāprabodho'tra vicitro hetutāmiyāt|
Tasyāpi tatprabodhasya vaicitrye kiṁ nibandhanam||1.5.5||
(The objector continues:) Nor (na) (does) a manifold awakening of vāsanā-s or tendencies (vāsanā-prabodhaḥ... vicitraḥ) become the cause (hetutām iyāt) here (atra), (because the next question would arise:) What (kim) (is) the cause (nibandhanam) of the variety (vaicitrye) of even that awakening of them --i.e. of vāsanā-s or tendencies-- (tasya api tad-prabodhasya)?||1.5.5||
स्यादेतदवभासेषु तेष्वेवावसिते सति।

Syādetadavabhāseṣu teṣvevāvasite sati|
Vyavahāre kimanyena bāhyenānupapattinā||1.5.6||
(Now, Utpaladeva replies:) This (etad) might be (true) (syāt). (However,) when the activity in ordinary life is completed --i.e. is accomplished-- (avasite sati... vyavahāre) on the basis of those manifestations (avabhāseṣu teṣu eva), what (is the point) (kim) in (bringing) another external (reality) which cannot be logically proved (anyena bāhyena anupapattinā)?||1.5.6||
चिदात्मैव हि देवोऽन्तःस्थितमिच्छावशाद्बहिः।

Cidātmaiva hi devo'ntaḥsthitamicchāvaśādbahiḥ|
Yogīva nirupādānamarthajātaṁ prakāśayet||1.5.7||
Certainly (hi), Consciousness Itself (cit-ātmā eva), God (devaḥ), manifests (prakāśayet) outside (bahis), like (iva) a Yogī (yogī), the multitude of objects (artha-jātam) which reside within (It) --i.e. within Consciousness or God-- (antaḥsthitam) by force of (Its) Will (icchā-vaśāt), without resorting to any material cause (nirupādānam)||1.5.7||
अनुमानमनाभातपूर्वे नैवेष्टमिन्द्रियम्।

Anumānamanābhātapūrve naiveṣṭamindriyam|
Ābhātameva bījāderābhāsāddhetuvastunaḥ||1.5.8||
Inference (anumānam) is not (na eva) valid (iṣṭam) if (the thing on which inference is applied) has not been previously visible (anābhāta-pūrve). The sense(s) (indriyam) become visible (too) (ābhātam eva) through the appearance (ābhāsāt) of a causal reality (hetu-vastunaḥ) such as the seed, etc. (bīja-ādeḥ)||1.5.8||
आभासः पुनराभासाद्बाह्यस्यासीत्कथञ्चन।

Ābhāsaḥ punarābhāsādbāhyasyāsītkathañcana|
Arthasya naiva tenāsya siddhirnāpyanumānataḥ||1.5.9||
However (punar), the manifestation (ābhāsaḥ) of an object (arthasya) which is outside (bāhyasya) the Light (ābhāsāt) did not exist (āsīt... na eva) in any way (kathañcana). On that account (tena), its (asya) proof --i.e. the proof that that object which is outside the Light really exists-- (siddhiḥ) does not come (na api) through inference (anumānataḥ)||1.5.9||
स्वामिनश्चात्मसंस्थस्य भावजातस्य भासनम्।
अस्त्येव न विना तस्मादिच्छामर्शः प्रवर्तते॥१.५.१०॥
Svāminaścātmasaṁsthasya bhāvajātasya bhāsanam|
Astyeva na vinā tasmādicchāmarśaḥ pravartate||1.5.10||
And (ca) splendor (bhāsanam) of the multitude of positive entities (bhāva-jātasya) which remains in the Self (ātma-saṁsthasya) of the Owner --viz. the Master, the Lord-- (svāminaḥ) does exist (asti eva). Without (vinā) that --i.e. without its resting in the Self of the Owner-- (tasmāt), the Will, which is awareness (icchā-āmarśaḥ), would not arise --viz. would not be produced-- (na... pravartate)||1.5.10||
स्वभावमवभासस्य विमर्शं विदुरन्यथा।
प्रकाशोऽर्थोपरक्तोऽपि स्फटिकादिजडोपमः॥१.५.११॥
Svabhāvamavabhāsasya vimarśaṁ viduranyathā|
Prakāśo'rthoparakto'pi sphaṭikādijaḍopamaḥ||1.5.11||
(The sages) consider (viduḥ) Awareness --i.e. Śakti-- (vimarśam) to be the essential nature (svabhāvam) of Light --i.e. Śiva or Consciousness-- (avabhāsasya). Otherwise (anyathā), the Light (prakāśaḥ), though (api) colored by the object (artha-uparaktaḥ), (would be) like an inert thing such as a crystal, etc. (sphaṭika-ādi-jaḍa-upamaḥ)||1.5.11||
आत्मात एव चैतन्यं चित्क्रिया चितिकर्तृता।
तात्पर्येणोदितस्तेन जडात्स हि विलक्षणः॥१.५.१२॥
Ātmāta eva caitanyaṁ citkriyā citikartṛtā|
Tātparyeṇoditastena jaḍātsa hi vilakṣaṇaḥ||1.5.12||
Hence (atas eva) —with this intention (tātparyeṇa)— the Self (ātmā) has been said (uditaḥ) (to be) Caitanya --viz. Consciousness with Absolute Freedom to know and do everything-- (caitanyam), the Activity of Consciousness (cit-kriyā) (and) the State of being a conscious Doer --i.e. the Doer of that Activity of Consciousness-- (citi-kartṛtā). On that account (tena), He --viz. the Self-- (saḥ) certainly (hi) differs (vilakṣaṇaḥ) from an inert object (jaḍāt)||1.5.12||
चितिः प्रत्यवमर्शात्मा परावाक् स्वरसोदिता।

Citiḥ pratyavamarśātmā parāvāk svarasoditā|
Svātantryametanmukhyaṁ tadaiśvaryaṁ paramātmanaḥ||1.5.13||
Consciousness (citiḥ), whose essence is Self-awareness (pratyavamarśa-ātmā), (is) the Supreme Speech (parāvāk) arisen from Its own Sap (sva-rasa-uditā). This (etad) (is) the Main (mukhyam) Absolute Freedom (svātantryam) of the Supreme Self (parama-ātmanaḥ) (as well as) His Lordship (tad-aiśvaryam)||1.5.13||
सा स्फुरत्ता महासत्ता देशकालाविशेषिनी।

Sā sphurattā mahāsattā deśakālāviśeṣinī|
Saiṣā sāratayā proktā hṛdayaṁ parameṣṭhinaḥ||1.5.14||
She --i.e. Śakti or Citi, the Supreme Speech, etc.-- (sā) (is) Flashing Consciousness (sphurattā) (and) Great Existence (mahā-sattā) unmodified by space and time --another possible translation is "uniform in space and time"-- (deśa-kāla-aviśeṣinī). This very (Śakti) (sā eṣā) is said to be (proktā) essentially (sāratayā) the Heart (hṛdayam) of the Highest Lord --lit. of the One who stands in the highest place-- (parama-iṣṭhinaḥ)||1.5.14||
आत्मानमत एवायं ज्ञेयीकुर्यात्पृथक्स्थिति।
ज्ञेयं न तु तदौन्मुख्यात्खण्ड्येतास्य स्वतन्त्रता॥१.५.१५॥
Ātmānamata evāyaṁ jñeyīkuryātpṛthaksthiti|
Jñeyaṁ na tu tadaunmukhyātkhaṇḍyetāsya svatantratā||1.5.15||
For this very reason (atas eva), He (ayam) makes Himself into the knowable --i.e. the object-- (ātmānam... jñeyī-kuryāt). However (tu), the knowable (jñeyam) does not (na) remains separate (from Him) (pṛthak-sthiti). (Why?) Because if it were to be inclined to that --viz. if the object were to be inclined to be separate from the Lord-- (tad-aunmukhyāt), His (asya) Absolute Freedom (svatantratā) would be broken (khaṇḍyeta)||1.5.15||
स्वातन्त्र्यामुक्तमात्मानं स्वातन्त्र्यादद्वयात्मनः।

Svātantryāmuktamātmānaṁ svātantryādadvayātmanaḥ|
Prabhurīśādisaṅkalpairnirmāya vyavahārayet||1.5.16||
Through the Absolute Freedom (svātantryāt) which is non-dual (advaya-ātmanaḥ), the Master (prabhuḥ), by creating (nirmāya) a self (ātmānam) which is not devoid of Absolute Freedom (svātantrya-amuktam) —(and which appears) as the vikalpa-s or thoughts Īśa --i.e. Lord--, etc. (īśa-ādi-saṅkalpaiḥ)—, becomes occupied in common practices (vyavahārayet)||1.5.16||

Ahaṁmṛśyatayaivāsya sṛṣtestiṅvācyakarmavat||1.5.17||
In the case of this Self (asya... ātmanaḥ), there is no state of "another" --viz. duality-- (na... anyatā) from the diversity of notions such as I-ness, etc. (ahantā-ādi-parāmarśa-bhedāt) because of His manifestation (asya sṛṣteḥ) as the object of I(-consciousness) (ahaṁ-mṛśyatayā eva), like an action expresed by personal terminations (tiṅ-vācya-karma-vat)||1.5.17||

By the power of Māyā (māyā-śaktyā), to the Omnipresent One --i.e. to the Master-- (vibhoḥ) that (manifestation) (sā eva) whose sphere of action is different objects (bhinna-saṁvedya-gocarā) is called (kathitā) by the names of knowaledge, imagination, determination, etc. (jñāna-saṅkalpa-adhyavasāya-ādi-nāmabhiḥ)||1.5.18||

Sākṣātkārakṣaṇe'pyasti vimarśaḥ kathamanyathā|
Dhāvanādyupapadyeta pratisandhānavarjitam||1.5.19||
Even (api) at the moment of direct perception/realization (sākṣāt-kāra-kṣaṇe) there is (asti) (a subtle) awareness (of the object) (vimarśaḥ). Otherwise (anyathā), how (katham) would (an action) such as running, etc. be possible (dhāvana-ādi upapadyeta) without intense awareness (pratisandhāna-varjitam)?||1.5.19||

Determination (adhyavasā) (such as) "This (ayam) (is) a pot (ghaṭaḥ... iti)", which surpasses name and form (nāma-rūpa-atirekiṇī), is the Power of the Highest Lord (para-īśa-śaktiḥ). (Determination) shines/appears (bhāsate) as (iva) the Self --viz. like Aham or I-- (ātmā) and not (na tu) as This --i.e. as the object-- (idantayā)||1.5.20||
