Tantrāloka (português): Capítulo 6 - estrofes 152 a 252 - Shaivismo não dual da Caxemira
Kālopāyaḥ
Tradução ao português brasileiro em progresso
Introdução
This is the second and last set of stanzas (from the stanza 151 to the stanza 252) of the sixth chapter (called Kālopāyaḥ).
This work was written by the great Master Abhinavagupta and is a compendium of Tantra in all its facets. Tantrāloka is the most important and voluminous work of the greatest Trika Master. Abhinavagupta was also the teacher of eminent Kṣemarāja and lived about 975-1025 AD in Kashmir.
This treatise whose name is Tantrāloka is a complete encyclopedia of Tantra. Since it is a very advanced text in Trika Shaivism, there is no surprise if a neophyte finds it difficult to understand. To start to understand it, the level of the reader must be the one of a real disciple in Trika Shaivism. If this requirement is not met, then there will be a lot of confusion and constant disappointment. Because in spite of my great efforts to explain the things so easily as possible, to study this treatise requires some spiritual caliber. In this system, sometimes it is not possible even to write about certain topics due to the extreme limitation of the words. Because in the end, all this knowledge has to do with 'states', and it is extremely difficult to write about 'states' in a precise way. Abhinavagupta has done his best to accomplish this formidable task of writing about what is superior and intangible. Anyway, despite his incredible skills to carry out this, he is not revealing everything. It is not because he is all the time hiding things from the reader, but because he is sometimes hiding and on other occasions he just cannot write about some extremely subtle topics because of the limitation of the words.
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 Tantrāloka and experience Supreme Delight, dear Śiva.
Important: All that is in brackets and italicized within the translation has been added by me in order to complete the sense of a particular phrase or sentence. In turn, all that is between double hyphen (--...--) constitutes clarifying further information also added by me.

At the beginning of that day (tad-ahar-mukhe), Śrīkaṇṭha (śrī-kaṇṭhaḥ) emits (sṛjati eva) again (punar) the perfected beings of Sāṅkhya, Veda-s, etc. --the sages who attained liberation through those systems-- (sāṅkhya-veda-ādi-saṁsiddhān). Such a (liberation) (īdṛśī) (was) therefore (tena) not complete liberation (na samyak-muktiḥ).
Life (āyus) of all-pervading Śrīkaṇṭha (vibhoḥ... śrī-kaṇṭhasya) (is) one hundred years (varṣa-śatam) —which results from multiplying by 360 (tad-jam) a day and a night (yad ahorātram) in Prakṛti (pradhāne)—. And (ca) this (etad) (is) one day (dinam) of the (Rudra-s) who live in the Kañcuka-s --categories 7 to 11, or 6 to 11 if Māyā is considered to be a sixth Kañcuka-- (kañcuka-vāsinām).
Then (tad), those (kañcuka-s) (amī) —Niyati (niyatiḥ), Kāla (kālaḥ), Rāga (rāgaḥ), Vidyā (vidyā) (and) Kalā (kalā iti)— gradually (kramāt) get dissolved in each other (yānti anyonyam layam). Their (teṣām) life (āyus) --i.e. the life of the Rudra-s living in the Kañcuka-s-- (is) one day (dinam) of Gahana (gāhanikam).
When that day ends (tad-dina-prakṣaye), the universe (viśvam) is dissolved (pravilīyate) in Māyā (māyāyām). And when the night of that extent ends (kṣīṇāyām niśi tāvatyām), Gahaneśa --viz. the lord of the Gahana-s-- (gahana-īśaḥ) emits (sṛjet) again (punar).
Thus (evam), (to find out how much) a day of Māyā (lasts) (māyā-ahar), multiply (jahi) the time that the unmanifest state (lasts) (avyakta-kālam tu) by ten parārdha-s --i.e. by 1,000,000,000,000,000,000-- (parārdhaiḥ daśabhiḥ). The night (rātriḥ) is (bhavet) (also) of that extent (tāvatī). This very thing (eṣaḥ saḥ) is (bhavet) the dissolution (pralayaḥ).
Multiplying (guṇayitvā) the time of Māyā (māyā-kālam) by one hundred parārdha-s --i.e. by 10,000,000,000,000,000,000-- (parārdhānām... śatena tu), (one gets) one day (divasaḥ) of Īśvara --category 4-- (aiśvaraḥ), (in which) Nāda (nādaḥ), that is here only vital energy (prāṇa-ātmā atra), emits (sṛjet) the universe (jagat). The night (ca... rātriḥ) of Īśvara (aiśvarī), in which (yatra) the vital energy (prāṇaḥ) becomes calm (praśāmyati), (is) of the same extent (tāvatī).
Here (atra) also (api) (does become calm) the universe (viśvam) that resides in the embryo of the vital energy (prāṇa-garbha-stham). Even (api) in the case of (this) consciousness (saṁvid) which (yā) is left as a remnant (avaśiṣyate) when the vital energy becomes calm (prāṇe... śānte) in Brahmarandhra (brahma-vile) —(which is accessed) through the pathway of Suṣumnā (sauṣumna-vartmanā)—, (there is) its --i.e. of this consciousness-- (etasyāḥ) dissolution (layaḥ) portion by portion (aṁśa-aṁśikātas api), more and more subtly (sūkṣma-sūkṣmataraḥ).
Multiplying (guṇayitvā) the time (kālam) of Īśvara (aiśvaram) by one hundred parārdha-s --10,000,000,000,000,000,000-- (parārdhānām śatena tu), (one gets) one day (dinam) of Sadāśiva (sādāśivam). (The duration of) the night (is the same as that of the day) (rātriḥ). (Such a night is) a great dissolution (mahā-pralayaḥ eva ca).
Sadāśiva (sadāśivaḥ), at the end of his own time (sva-kāla-ante), after going through --lit. after ascending-- (ākramya) (the stages of) Bindu, Ardhacandra and Nirodhikā (bindu-ardhendu-nirodhikāḥ), gets dissolved (līyeta) in Nāda (nāde) by taking (with him) (gṛhītvā) everything that is moving and motionless (sa-cara-acaram).
Nāda (nādaḥ), when its time ends (nija-kāla-parikṣaye), through the mode of Nādānta (nādānta-vṛttyā tu), penetrates (bhittvā) by force (haṭhāt) into Brahmarandhra (brahma-bilam) (and) gets dissolved (layam yāti) in the Śakti category (śakti-tattve). The whole time that Nāda lasts --lit. such-- (etāvat) should be considered (vijñeyam) to be certainly one day and one night (khalu aharniśam) in the Śakti category (śakti-tattve).
(The stage of) Śakti (śaktiḥ), when its time ends (sva-kāla-vilaye), is in turn dissolved (līyate punar) in Vyāpinī (vyāpinyām). The whole time that Śakti lasts --lit. that-- (tad) (is) one day and one night (divārātram) in Vyāpinī (vyāpinyā). (Next,) she --i.e. Vyāpinī-- (sā api) is dissolved (līyate) in Anāśritaśiva (anāśrite). Multiplying (hatvā api) the time of Śakti (śakti-kālam) by ten million parārdha-s --ten million parārdha-s is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000-- (parārdha-koṭyā) (one gets) one day (dinam) and (ca) one night (rātriḥ) in Anāśritaśiva (anāśrite). After that time multiplied by one parārdha --i.e. by 100,000,000,000,000,000-- (tad-kāle parārdha-guṇite api ca), He --i.e. Anāśritaśiva-- (saḥ api) gets dissolved (yāti layam) in a universal state known as 'Sāmya' --or also 'Samanā'-- (sāmya-sañjñe sāmanase pade)||152-165||

He is at the same time --lit. in one place-- the one who produces the manifestation and dissolution (ekatra sṛṣṭi-saṁhāra-kārakaḥ) with regard to Prakṛti --i.e. the Prakṛti egg-- (mūle). Or (vā) his dissolution --i.e. Śrīkaṇṭha's-- (muestra) (is) the intermediate one (antaraḥ).

Since (yatas), in that Emission (tad-sṛṣṭau), the internal manifestations and dissolutions (sṛṣṭi-saṁhārāḥ... antar-bhūtāḥ) of the universes (jagatām) are innumerable (niḥsaṅkhyāḥ), therefore (tatas), (such an Emission) is said to be (udāhṛtā) the Great Manifestation (mahā-sṛṣṭiḥ) of Śakti (śāktī).
In the dissolution (laye), "Brahmā (brahmā), Viṣṇu (harī), the one hundred Rudra-s (rudra-śatāni) (and) the five groups of eight (aṣṭaka-pañcakam... iti)", gradually (kramāt) get reciprocally dissolved (anyonyam... yānti layam) in the course of Māyā (māyāntake adhvani). But (tu), when the Māyā category --the sixth one-- is dissolved (māyā-tattva-laye), they (ete) reach (prayānti) the Supreme State (paramam padam).
(There is) a dissolution (layaḥ) in the Supreme Śiva (para-śive) in the case of those (teṣām) who (ye) stay in the white course --i.e. in the pure course, in the categories 3, 4 and 5-- (sita-adhva-sthāḥ) above Māyā (māyā-ūrdhve). Even right there --viz. in the Supreme Śiva-- (tatra api), others (pare) (still) consider (viduḥ) that in (such a) dissolution there is duality (laye bhedam) due to a differentiation limited by particular conditions (aupādhikāt bhedāt) --i.e. this is not at all Abhinavagupta's opinion--.
Thus (evam), when the group of the lords of the tattva-s or categories has been dissolved (tāttva-īśvare varge līne), in the following manifestation (sṛṣṭau... pare) again (punar), adepts in that (tad-sādhakāḥ) or (vā) the ones who have been chosen by Śiva --i.e. chosen by His Will-- (śiva-iṣṭāḥ) occupy (adhiśerate) their position(s) --viz. the positions of the former lords of the tattva-s-- (tad-sthānam).
He (saḥ) (becomes) Brahmā (brahmā) on whom (yatra) (Śiva) drops (pātayet) the Power (śaktistām) of the Supreme (parasya eva) called --i.e. the Power is called-- (nāma) Brāhmī (brāhmī). (Likewise,) from this (Śakti assuming the form of) Vaiṣṇavī, etc. (vaiṣṇavī-ādeḥ ataḥ), (those on whom Śiva drops such forms become) Viṣṇu, Rudra, etc. (viṣṇu-rudra-ādyāḥ), respectively (kramāt).
How (is it possible) (kim) that Śakti (śaktiḥ), abandoning (vihāya) the Possessor of Śakti (śaktimantam), (assumes) another (form) (anyam)? It is not like this --lit. it is not such-- (na īdṛśam). Śakti (śaktiḥ) (is rather) wholly concealed and manifested (by Śiva) (chādita-prathitā aśeṣam). In this way (tathā), (there is only) one (ekaḥ) Śiva (śivaḥ) (who becomes manifested as the Self of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, etc.).
Thus (evam), manifestations and dissolutions (visṛṣṭi-pralayāḥ) remain (niṣṭhitāḥ) in one place (ekatra), i.e. in the vital energy (prāṇe). It --vital energy-- (saḥ api) (remains) in Saṁvid (saṁvidi), and (ca) Saṁvid (saṁvid) in pure Consciousness devoid of knowables (cit-mātre jñeya-varjite). Pure Consciousness (cit-mātram) (is) the Supreme Goddess (devī ca sā parā), viz. the Supreme Mistress (parama-īśvarī), the thirty-eighth category (aṣṭātriṁśam ca tad tattvam) (and) the Heart which is supreme and non-supreme (hṛdayam tad para-aparam).
For that reason (tena), 'dissolutions and emergences' (laya-udayāḥ iti) (are) only (eva) this (etad) Consciousness (saṁvittvam) which vibrates (spandamānam) spontaneously (svabhāvataḥ). (On that account,) it has been said that there are emergences of sixty years (ṣaṣṭi-abda-udaya-kīrtanam) in the vital energy (prāṇe).
This (iyam) power of time (kāla-śaktiḥ), which is considered to be a variety of activities (kriyā-vaicitrya-carcanā), rests only in the Will (of Śiva) (icchā-mātra-pratiṣṭhā). Therefore (tatas), it --i.e. the power of time-- does not have a permanent form (na etasyāḥ niyatam vapus) externally (bāhye).
In the state of dreaming in dreaming (svapna-svapne), as well as (tathā) in svapna (svapne), in deep sleep (supte), in the sphere of imagination (saṅkalpa-gocare), in samādhi or absorption (samādhau) (and) when one clearly distinguishes the succession of dissolutions and emergences of the universe (viśva-saṁhāra-sṛṣṭi-krama-vivecane), even a limited portion of time (mitaḥ api kila kāla-aṁśaḥ) appears to be (bhāsate) immense (vitatatvena).
That (asau) immensity (vitatimā pi) (is) manifold (citraḥ) (whether it is) in different knowers --i.e. collectively-- (pramātra-bhede) or else (atha) in only one of such varieties --i.e. individually-- (bhede).
Thus (evam), just as (yathā) the time (kālaḥ) —born from the power which controls the variety of activities (kriyā-vaicitrya-śakti-jaḥ)— (is) in prāṇa --which moves with the exhalation-- (prāṇe), so (tathā) (it is) also in apāna --which moves with the inhalation-- (apāne api), moving from the heart down to the root abode (hṛdayān mūla-pīṭha-visarpiṇi).
(The yogī) perceives (cinute) manifestation and dissolution (sṛṣṭi-saṁhṛtī) (of the universe) beginning with Brahmā and ending in Anāśritaśiva (brahma-ādi-anāśrita-antānām) in the contraction and expansion of the great seat whose name is 'root' (mūla-abhidha-mahā-pīṭha-saṅkoca-pravikāsayoḥ).
In this way (ittham), even if (yadi api) this (ayam) apāna (apānaḥ) incessantly (śaśvat) flows (vahati), nonetheless (kintu), that (asau) (apāna moving) through an unconscious effort (avedya-yatnaḥ) is concentrated on --also 'is worshiped'-- (samupāsyate) by the yogī-s (yogibhiḥ) through effort (yatnena).
(The deities) beginning with Brahmā (brahma-ādayaḥ) (and) ending in Anāśritaśiva (anāśrita-antāḥ), who are residing in heart, kanda, in the contraction and expansion of bliss, and in (external) dvādaśānta (hṛt-kanda-ānanda-saṅkoca-vikāsa-dvādaśānta-gāḥ), are honored (sevyante) by the good yogī-s (su-yogibhiḥ) here --i.e. in apāna-- (atra).
These (deities) (ete ca) (are) universal (viśva-vartinaḥ) since they are powers of the Supreme Lord (parama-īśāna-śaktitvāt). When they attain (aśnuvānāḥ) (the stage of) the body (deham api), (they are called) in Kāmikatantra (kāmike) 'the causes of that --i.e. of the body--' (tad-kāraṇāni iti).
In the body (dehe), Brahmā, etc. (brahma-ādyāḥ) preside over six (aspects) (ṣaṭ-adhiṣṭhāna-kāriṇaḥ): Childhood, youth, old age, death (bālya-yauvana-vṛddhatva-nidhaneṣu), rebirth (punarbhave) and (ca) Liberation (muktau).
At the end (ante tu) of that (tasya), (does reside) the Supreme Goddess (parā devī), where (yatra) the one who is united (with Her) (yuktaḥ) is not born (again) (na jāyate). By merely knowing (Her) (anena jñāta-mātreṇa), one becomes (bhavet) the giver of initiation and Grace (dīkṣā-anugraha-kṛt).
Because (yatas) when all the causes and their manifestations are very well known (samasta-kāraṇa-ullāsa-pade su-vidite), one knows (vindet) the Causeless (a-kāraṇam) Śiva (śivam), i.e. (one knows) That (tad) which (yad) (is) the Cause (kāraṇam) of the universe (viśvasya).
This (idam) downward mouth --viz. the mouth of the Yoginī whose form is the sixth stream-- (adhas-vaktram) completely destroys the stain of duality (dvaita-kalaṅka-ekānta-śātanam). On which account (yena), when there is its --i.e. of this downward mouth-- worship (tad-upāsāyām), the assemblage of higher and lower (ūrdhva-adhara-ḍambaraḥ) is annihilated (kṣīyate).
Here (atra), in the emergence of apāna (apāna-udaye), one should, as before, apply (the cycles of time), from one tuṭi up to the emergence of sixty years (prāk-vat-ṣaṣṭi-abda-udaya-yojanām yāvat kurvīta tuṭi-ādeḥ), according to the appropriate division of the fingers (yukta-aṅgula-vibhāgataḥ).
Thus (evam), even (api) regarding samāna (samāne), (the same) rule (applies) (vidhiḥ). It --i.e. samāna-- (saḥ hi), moving (sañcaran) in all directions (sarvatodikkam) in the heart's subtle channels (hārdīṣu nāḍiṣu), appears (vibhāvyate) in ten ways (daśadhā eva).
This (samāna) (eṣaḥ), filling (pūrayan) the ten main great subtle channels (daśa mukhyā mahā-nāḍīḥ) (as well as) the subtle channels residing in them (tad-gatāḥ), (and) entering into (krāman) (other) subtle channels (nāḍīḥ) dwelling inside such nāḍī-s (as subchannels) (nāḍī-antara-āśritāḥ), (is) balance (samasthitiḥ) in the body (dehe).
This (samāna) (eṣaḥ), moving (krāman) in the eight directions (aṣṭāsu digdaleṣu), gradually (kramāt) conforms to (anukurvāṇaḥ) the activities --to the modes-- (ceṣṭitāni) of the (respective) lord of (each of) those directions (tad-dik-pateḥ), (and) appears to be (bhāsate) fierce (raudraḥ) and (ca) gentle (saumyaḥ).
It --i.e. samāna-- (saḥ eva), (as) day and night (aharniśam), keeps (tiṣṭhati) moving (caran) in the three main subtle channels --viz. in Iḍā, Piṅgalā and Suṣumnā-- (nāḍī-tritaye... mukhye) —which are on the left, on the right and in the middle— (vāma-dakṣiṇa-madhya-ge) (and) which are made up of moon, sun and fire (indu-arka-agni-maye).
Flowing (vahan) for so long (tāvat) as a day and a night (ahorātram), (samāna) moves (caret) in twenty-four ways (caturviṁśatidhā), which (yad) lasts --lit. remains-- (sthitam) nine hundred breathing processes --4 seconds each-- (prāṇa-śatāni nava), i.e. two nālī-s and a half --viz. 2 x 24 minutes + 12 minutes = 60 minutes or 1 hour-- (sa-ardha-nālī-dvayam).
On an equinox day (viṣuvad-vāsare), at dawn (prātar), it --i.e. samāna-- (saḥ) moves through the central (subtle channel) --viz. through Suṣumnā-- (madhya-gaḥ) for one nālī and a portion --i.e. 24 minutes + 6 minutes = 30 minutes-- (sa-aṁśām nālīm) (plus other) five passages --five hours-- (saṅkrānti-pañcakam) from one zodiacal asterism to the other, to the left, to the right, to the north, to the south and to the north --lit. to the other-- (vāma-itara-udak-savya-anyaiḥ yāvat).
Thus (evam), once fourteen nālī-s less one quarter --14 x 24 minutes - 6 minutes = 330 minutes or 5 hours and a half-- have passed (kṣīṇāsu pāda-ūna-caturdaśasu nāliṣu), at midday (madhya-āhne), (samāna) flows (vahet) (in the form of) nine hundred breathing processes during the autumnal equinox (dakṣa-viṣuvat-nava-prāṇa-śatīm).
(Then, there are) again (punar) five passages (saṅkrānti-pañcakam) from one zodiacal asterism to the other, to the right, to the north, to the south --lit. to the other--, to the north and to the right (dakṣa-udak-anya-udad-dakṣaiḥ); each of which (ekaikam) (lasts) nine hundred breathing processes (nava-asu-śatam). After that (tatas), (there is) the spring equinox (viṣuvat-uttaram).
Just as (yadvat) externally (bahis) (there is) an equinox (viṣuvat) after each of the five passages (pañcake pañcake atīte saṅkrānteḥ), so (tathā) (also occurs) internally (antar), (where) a passage (saṅkrāntiḥ... sā) (lasts) nine hundred breathing processes (nava-prāṇa-śatāni).
Thus (evam), (all this happens) in the night (rātrau) as well (api). In this way (iti evam), beginning (ārabhya) from the equinox where day and night are equal (viṣuvat-divasāt-samāt), it --i.e. samāna-- (asau) proceeds through the increase and decrease of day, night and also of the passages (themselves) (aharniśā-vṛddhi-hrāsa-saṅkrānti-gaḥ api).
Starting from the spring equinox (udaktaḥ), the equinoctial moments (viṣutedṛśī) (are the following:) The two portions of the end of the night and the beginning of the day (rātri-anta-dina-pūrva-aṁśau), midday or noon (madhyāhnaḥ), the end of the day (divasa-kṣayaḥ), the emergence of the night (saḥ śarvarī-udayaḥ) (and) midnight (madhyam).
Since (yatas) the formation (vṛttiḥ) of the root 'viṣ' (viṣeḥ) implies pervasion (vyāptau), and (ca) equality (sāmyam) is said to be (ucyate) pervasion (vyāptiḥ), therefore (tad) the time (kālaḥ) which (yaḥ) deserves (arhati ca) (such a designation, as there is equality in it, is) called (uditaḥ) here (iha) the equinox (viṣuvat tad).
Starting from the equinox (viṣuvat-prabhṛti), the decrease and increase (hrāsa-vṛddhī) with reference to days and nights (ye dina-rātri-ge) gradually (tad-krameṇa eva) (means) a decrease and an increase of the passages (saṅkrānti-hrāsa-vṛddhī) of the day and of the night (divāniśoḥ).
In this way (ittham), (in a movement) of the vital air called samāna (samāna-marutaḥ), (there is) the distinction of two years (varṣa-dvaya-vikalpanam). (This) movement (cāraḥ) (happens) in one place (ekatra) (because) inhalation and exhalation are not considered (nahi... śvāsa-praśvāsa-carcanam) here (atra).
Even (api) in samāna (samāne), the previous (pūrvam) number of times (kāla-saṅkhyā) located in this unique and very subtle movement (su-sūkṣma-eka-cāra-gā), from one tuṭi (tuṭeḥ) until (yāvat) the sphere of influence of sixty years (ṣaṣṭi-abda-gocaram), can be calculated (gaṇyate) by the wise (budhaiḥ).
The junctures such as the earlier part of the day, midday, midnight, etc. (sandhyā-pūrvāhṇa-madhyāhna-madhyarātra-ādi) which are certainly situated in the internal passages (yad kila antar-saṅkrānti-gam) are to be perceived (grāhyam). They are important (tad-mukhyam) because of the emergence of their fruits (tad-phala-uditeḥ).
The time (kālaḥ) residing in samāna (samāna-gaḥ) has been (then) mentioned (uktaḥ). (Now, the time) with reference to udāna (udāne) is being described (nirūpyate). What has been said (yad uktam) with respect to the pervasion of prāṇa (prāṇa-vyāptau), (can be) even (said) (api) regarding that udāna (tad-udāne). Here (atra) (there is) only (one difference) (kevalam) while the former has its place in the nasal śakti, the latter has it in the upper abode of Brahmarandhra (nāsā-śakti-antayoḥ sthāne brahmarandhra-ūrdhva-dhāmanī). On that account (tena), one should ponder over (vicārayet) the universal time (viśvam kālam) here (atra) in udāna (udāne), from one tuṭi up to sixty years (tuṭi-ādi-ṣaṣṭi-varṣa-antam), when, from the heart, it moves toward the dvādaśānta located in the head (hṛdayāt mūrdhanya-dvādaśānta-gam)||173-213||

It --i.e. the Anāhata sound-- (saḥ tu) (is) the real being of Bhairava (bhairava-sadbhāvaḥ) (and) the real being of the knowers (mātṛ-sadbhāvaḥ). This very (sound) (eṣa saḥ) (is) the Supreme (parā) monosyllabic (sa-eka-akṣarā) Goddess (devī) where (yatra) all that is moving and motionless (cara-acaram) is dissolved (līnam).
Each of (ekaikam) the three short letters --viz. 'a', 'i' and 'u'-- (hrasva-arṇa-trayam) (occupies) twelve fingers (ravi-aṅgulam), and (atha) the other --i.e. the long vowels, viz. 'ā', 'ī' and 'ū'-- (itarat) (occupy the same distance) in the inhalation (praveśe). Thus (iti), the six letters (ṣaṭ-varṇāḥ) move through the path of sun and moon (sūrya-indu-patha-gāḥ), respectively (kramāt).
In the combination of the letters 'i' and 'u' with 'a' and 'ā' (i-kāra-u-kārayoḥ a-ādi-sandhau), two diphthongs (sandhi-akṣara-dvayam), 'e' (and) 'o' (e o iti) (are produced). But (tu) in the inhalation (praveśe), there are --lit. they, the sages, knew-- (viduḥ) (other) two (diphthongs) (dvayam): 'ai' (and) 'au' (ai au iti).
The eunuch letters --i.e. 'ṛ', 'ṝ', 'ḷ' and 'ḹ'-- (ṣaṇṭha-arṇāni) (are) in the inhalation (praveśe tu) (and) also in dvādaśānta and the forehead (dvādaśānta-lalāṭayoḥ), in the throat (gale) and (ca) in the heart (hṛdi). (In turn,) Bindu --i.e. Anusvāra-- and Visarga (bindu-arṇa-visargau) reside (sthitau) everywhere --viz. in inhalation and exhalation-- (paritas)||218-221||

This (ayam) supreme (paraḥ) rise (udayaḥ) of the letters (varṇānām) has been described (uktaḥ). (Now,) the subtle (rise) (sūkṣmaḥ) is being mentioned (ucyate).
In the inhalation (praveśe) (do arise) sixteen (vowels) (ṣoḍaśa) (while) in the exhalation (aunmukhye) (do arise) twelve (vowels) (ravayaḥ) without the eunuch (ones) --i.e. without ṛ, ṝ, ḷ and ḹ-- (ṣaṇṭha-varjitāḥ). That (tad) (is) the moon and the sun (indu-arkam). The other (anye) letters (varṇāḥ) (are included) here (atra). This (ayam) (is) indeed (tu) the subtle rise (of the letters) (sūkṣma-udayaḥ).
The time (kālaḥ) of the group of thirty-three (consonants) --i.e. of each of these consonants-- (trayastriṁśata) —starting with 'ka' (ka-ādīnām)— is said to be (ucyate) (sixteen and a half mātrā-s, i.e.) half a mātrā (each) (ardha-mātraḥ). The five (pañca) short (vowels) --a, i, u, ṛ and ḷ -- (hrasvāḥ) (last five) mātrā-s --i.e. one mātrā each-- (mātrāḥ), the group of eight long (vowels) --i.e. ā, ī, ū, ṝ, e, ai, o and au-- (dīrgha-aṣṭakam) (last 16 mātrā-s, i.e.) two mātrā-s (each) (dviḥ). (Finally,) the vowel 'ḹ' (ḹ) (is) pluta --i.e. it lasts three mātrā-s-- (plutam tu).
The Guru (guruḥ) told (āha) us (nas) these (imām) eighty-one and a half mātrā-s (ekāśītim... ardha-mātrāṇām). Due to which (yad-vaśāt), the Lord (bhagavān) explained (abhyadhāt) that the mantra (mantram) consists of eighty-one portions (ekāśītikam).
In venerable Mātaṅga (śrī-mātaṅge), Śakti (śaktiḥ) —the Goddess (devī) whose essence is Śiva (śiva-ātmikā)— is said to be (proktā) composed of eighty-one pada-s (ekāśīti-padā). So (tathā), on which account (yatas), Śiva (śivaḥ) is constituted by this group of attributes (dharma-saṅghāta-ātmā).
In this way and in that way (tathā tathā), the Master (prabhuḥ) —the Lord of the group of śakti-s of Consciousness— (parāmarśa-śakti-cakra-īśvaraḥ) is perceived (vibhāvyate) through the different types of awareness born from eighty-one gross pada-s (sthūla-ekāśīti-pada-ja-parāmarśaiḥ).
On that account (tatas eva), as long as (yāvati) one (ekaḥ) awareness (parāmarśaḥ) is accomplished (samāpyate), so long (tāvat) that (tad) is said to be (uktam) a pada (padam). It is not restrained to a rule about 'sup' and 'tiṅ' (as stated by Pāṇini) --these technical terms represent case terminations-- (no sup-tiṅ-niyama-yantritam).
This (eṣaḥ) dissolution --a repose in one's own Self-- (layaḥ), nourished by a succession of types of the noble awareness of the eighty-one pada-s (ekāśīti-pada-udāra-vimarśa-krama-bṛṁhitaḥ), (is) the gross means (sthūla-upāyaḥ). However (tu), (dissolution) produced by mātrā-s (mātrā-kṛtaḥ) (is) the supreme means (para-upāyaḥ).
There are (syuḥ) nine (nava nava) halves of a mātrā (ardha-mātrāḥ) every four (fingers) (caturṣu caturṣu), that is to say (yad), in thirty-six fingers (aṅguleṣu iti ṣaṭtriṁśati) (there is) the rise of eighty-one pada-s (ekāśīti-pada-udayaḥ).
When a finger is divided (aṅgule... vibhakte) into nine parts (navabhāgena), the consonants (navamāśakāḥ) —lasting half a mātrā (mātrā-ardham)— (occupy) four (parts) (vedāḥ). But (tu) the other (anyat) three (types of letters) (trayam) are twofold, fourfold and sixfold (dvi-catur-ṣaṭ-guṇam).
Thus (evam), the short (vowels) (laghu) occupy eight of the nine parts of each finger (aṅgula-randhrāṁśa-catuṣkadvaya-gam). The long (vowels) and the pluta vowel (dīrgham plutam) (occupy) the double and the triple (dvi-tri-guṇam) respectively (kramāt). The consonants (hal) (occupy) half (ardham) of that --of the number of parts occupied by the short vowels-- (tatas api).
The whole (mātrikaḥ) letter 'kṣa' (kṣa-kāraḥ... saḥ) (occupies) three half mātrā-s (tri-ardha-mātrā-ātmā), (two for both consonants this letter is composed of, and) half a mātrā (ardha-mātrā) in the middle repose (tathā antarā viśrāntau). When there is this type of calculation of these things (asya tasmin tu kalite sati), (one has to) divide every half finger (aṅgula-ardhe) by seven portions (adri-bhāgena tu) (and assign six of those portions to each) half a mātrā (ardha-mātrā).
The letter 'kṣa' (kṣa-kāraḥ), (as it has been said) before (purā punar), containing all combinations (sarva-saṁyoga-grahaṇa-ātmā tu), is omnipresent (sarvagaḥ), all-pervading (vibhuḥ) (and) possessed of the emergence (udaya-bhāk) in the combinations at the beginning and at the end of the rise of all the letters (sarva-varṇa-udaya-ādya-anta-sandhiṣu)||224-236||
