मुळीं ब्रह्म निराकार । तेथें स्फूर्तिरूप अहंकार । तो पंचभूतांचा विचार । ज्ञानदशकीं बोलिला

muḷīm brahma nirākāra | tethem sphūrtirūpa ahamkāra | to pamcabhūtāmcā vicāra | jñānadaśakīm bolilā

At root, Brahman is formless (*nirākāra*); there, *sphūrti-rūpa ahamkāra* arises; the consideration of the five elements was told in the jñāna-daśaka.

तो अहंकार वायोरूप । तयावरी तेजाचें स्वरूप । तया तेजाच्या आधारें आप । आवर्णोदक दाटलें

to ahamkāra vāyorūpa | tayāvarī tejācem svarūpa | tayā tejācyā ādhārem āpa | āvarṇodaka dāṭalem

That ahamkāra is air-form; above it is the form of fire; supported by that fire, water fills as *āvaraṇodaka* (enveloping waters).

तया आवर्णोदकाच्या आधारें । धरा धरिली फणिवरें । वरती छपन्न कोटी विस्तारें । वसुंधरा हे

tayā āvarṇodakācyā ādhārem | dharā dharilī phaṇivarem | varatī chapanna koṭī vistārem | vasumdharā he

On that āvaraṇodaka's support, earth was held by the *phaṇi-vara* (cosmic serpent); upon that, fifty-six crore extension — this Vasundharā.

इयेवरी परिघ सप्त सागर । मध्य मेरू माहां थोर । अष्ट दिग्पाळ तो परिवार । अंतरें वेष्टित राहिला

iyevarī parigha sapta sāgara | madhya merū māhām thora | aṣṭa digpāḷa to parivāra | amtarem veṣṭita rāhilā

On it the circumference of seven oceans; at the center, great mighty Meru; eight direction-rulers as retinue; remain surrounding within.

तो सुवर्णाचा माहा मेरू । पृथ्वीस तयाचा आधारु । चौरुआसी सहस्र विस्तारु । रुंदी तयाची

to suvarṇācā māhā merū | pṛthvīsa tayācā ādhāru | cauruāsī sahasra vistāru | rumdī tayācī

That Meru of gold is supreme; the earth's support; eighty-four thousand in extent — its width.

उंच तरी मर्यादेवेगळा । भूमीमधें सहस्र सोळा । तया भोवता वेष्टित पाळा । लोकालोक पर्वताचा

umca tarī maryādevegaḷā | bhūmīmadhem sahasra soḷā | tayā bhovatā veṣṭita pāḷā | lokāloka parvatācā

Height beyond measure; sixteen thousand [yojanas] into the earth; surrounded by a ring — of the Lokāloka mountain.

तया ऐलिकडे हिमाचळ । जेथें पांडव गळाले सकळ । धर्म आणी तमाळनीळ । पुढें गेले

tayā ailikaḍe himācaḷa | jethem pāmḍava gaḷāle sakaḷa | dharma āṇī tamāḷanīḷa | puḍhem gele

This side of that is Himācala; where all the Pāṇḍavas fell; Dharma and *Tamāla-nīla* (Kṛṣṇa) went on ahead.

जेथें जावया मार्ग नाहीं । मार्गी पसरले माहा अही । सितसुखें सुखावले ते ही । पर्वतरूप भासती

jethem jāvayā mārga nāhīm | mārgī pasarale māhā ahī | sitasukhem sukhāvale te hī | parvatarūpa bhāsatī

Where there is no path to go; on the path huge serpents spread out; those satisfied by cold-pleasure — they too appear as mountain-form.

तया ऐलिकडे सेवटीं जाण । बद्रिकाश्रम बद्रिनारायण । तेथें माहां तापसी, निर्वाण- । देहत्यागार्थ जाती

tayā ailikaḍe sevaṭīm jāṇa | badrikāśrama badrinārāyaṇa | tethem māhām tāpasī, nirvāṇa- | dehatyāgārtha jātī

On this side, at the end — know Badarikāśrama, Badri-Nārāyaṇa; there great ascetics go for *nirvāṇa* (death-renunciation).

तया ऐलिकडे बद्रिकेदार । पाहोन येती लहानथोर । ऐसा हा अवघा विस्तार । मेरुपर्वताचा

tayā ailikaḍe badrikedāra | pāhona yetī lahānathora | aisā hā avaghā vistāra | meruparvatācā

On this side, Badri-Kedāra; small and great come to see; such is the full extent of Meru-mountain.

तया मेरुपर्वतापाठारीं । तीन श्रृंगे विषमहारी । परिवारें राहिले तयावरी । ब्रह्मा विष्णु महेश

tayā meruparvatāpāṭhārīm | tīna śrṛmge viṣamahārī | parivārem rāhile tayāvarī | brahmā viṣṇu maheśa

On the plateau of Meru-mountain, three fearsome peaks; Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa with retinue remain on them.

ब्रह्मश्रृंग तो पर्वताचा । विष्णुश्रृंग तो मर्गजाचा । शिवश्रृंग तो स्फटिकाचा । कैळास नाम त्याचें

brahmaśrṛmga to parvatācā | viṣṇuśrṛmga to margajācā | śivaśrṛmga to sphaṭikācā | kaiḷāsa nāma tyācem

Brahma-peak is of [granite] mountain; Viṣṇu-peak is of *margaja* (emerald); Śiva-peak is of crystal — its name is Kailāsa.

वैकुंठ नाम विष्णुश्रृंगाचें । सत्यलोक नाम ब्रह्मश्रृंगाचें । अमरावती इंद्राचें । स्थळ खालतें । १३॥ तेथें गण गंधर्व लोकपाळ । तेतिस कोटी देव सकळ । चौदा लोक, सुवर्णाचळ- । वेष्टित राहिले

vaikumṭha nāma viṣṇuśrṛmgācem | satyaloka nāma brahmaśrṛmgācem | amarāvatī imdrācem | sthaḷa khālatem | 13 || tethem gaṇa gamdharva lokapāḷa | tetisa koṭī deva sakaḷa | caudā loka, suvarṇācaḷa- | veṣṭita rāhile

Vaikuṇṭha is the name of Viṣṇu's peak; Satya-loka of Brahmā's; Amarāvatī is Indra's — location below. There gaṇas, gandharvas, loka-pālas; thirty-three crores of devas; the fourteen lokas surrounded by the golden mountain.

तेथें कामधेनूचीं खिलांरें । कल्पतरूचीं बनें अपारें । अमृताचीं सरोवरें । ठाईं ठाईं उचंबळतीं

tethem kāmadhenūcīm khilāmrem | kalpatarūcīm banem apārem | amṛtācīm sarovarem | ṭhāīm ṭhāīm ucambaḷatīm

There are herds of *kāma-dhenu*s; endless groves of *kalpa-taru*; lakes of amṛta — well up in many places.

तेथें उदंड चिंतामणी । हिरे परिसांचियां खाणी । तेथें सुवर्णमये धरणी । लखलखायमान

tethem udamḍa cimtāmaṇī | hire parisāmciyām khāṇī | tethem suvarṇamaye dharaṇī | lakhalakhāyamāna

There are abundant *cintāmaṇi*s; mines of diamonds and *parīsa* (philosopher's stone); there the earth is of gold — radiant.

परम रमणीये फांकती किळा । नव्वरत्नाचिया पाषाणसिळा । तेथें अखंड हरुषवेळा । आनंदमये

parama ramaṇīye phāmkatī kiḷā | navvaratnāciyā pāṣāṇasiḷā | tethem akhamḍa haruṣaveḷā | ānamdamaye

Supremely charming rays spread; stone-slabs of the nine jewels; there unbroken joy-times — full of bliss.

तेथें अमृतांचीं भोजनें । दिव्य गंधें दिव्य सुमनें । अष्ट नायका गंधर्वगायनें । निरंतर

tethem amṛtāmcīm bhojanem | divya gamdhem divya sumanem | aṣṭa nāyakā gamdharvagāyanem | niramtara

There are meals of amṛta; divine fragrances, divine flowers; songs of eight nāyikā gandharvas — continually.

तेथें तारुण्य वोसरेना । रोगव्याधीहि असेना । वृधाप्य आणी मरण येना । कदाकाळीं

tethem tāruṇya vosarenā | rogavyādhīhi asenā | vṛdhāpya āṇī maraṇa yenā | kadākāḷīm

There youth does not decline; no diseases or ailments; old-age and death do not come — ever.

तेथें येकाहूनि येक सुंदर । तेथें येकाहूनि येक चतुर । धीर उदार आणी शूर । मर्यादेवेगळे

tethem yekāhūni yeka sumdara | tethem yekāhūni yeka catura | dhīra udāra āṇī śūra | maryādevegaḷe

There, one beautiful beyond another; one clever beyond another; steady, generous, heroic — beyond boundary.

तेथें दिव्यदेह ज्योतिरूपें । विद्युल्यतेसारिखीं स्वरूपें । तेथें येश कीर्ति प्रतापें । सिमा सांडिली

tethem divyadeha jyotirūpem | vidyulyatesārikhīm svarūpem | tethem yeśa kīrti pratāpem | simā sāmḍilī

There divine bodies are light-forms; forms like lightning; there fame, glory, prowess exceed limit.

ऐसें तें स्वर्गभुवन । सकळ देवांचें वस्तें स्थान । तयां स्थळाचें महिमान । बोलिजे तितुकें थोडें

aisem tem svargabhuvana | sakaḷa devāmcem vastem sthāna | tayām sthaḷācem mahimāna | bolije titukem thoḍem

Such is that heaven-bhuvana; the dwelling-place of all devas; the glory of that place — however much is said is little.

येथें ज्या देवाचें भजन करावें । तेथें ते देवलोकीं राहावें । स्वलोकता मुक्तीचें जाणावें । लक्षण ऐसें

yethem jyā devācem bhajana karāvem | tethem te devalokīm rāhāvem | svalokatā muktīcem jāṇāvem | lakṣaṇa aisem

Here, whichever deva is worshipped, one remains in that deva-loka; know the sign of *sālokatā-mukti* thus.

लोकीं राहावें ते स्वलोकता । समीप असावें ते समीपता । स्वरूपचि व्हावें ते स्वरूपता- । तिसरी मुक्ती

lokīm rāhāvem te svalokatā | samīpa asāvem te samīpatā | svarūpaci vhāvem te svarūpatā- | tisarī muktī

Living in the loka is *sālokatā*; being near is *sāmīpya*; becoming the very form is *sārūpatā* — the third mukti.

देवस्वरूप जाला देही । श्रीवत्स कौस्तुभ लक्ष्मी नाहीं । स्वरूपतेचें लक्षण पाहीं । ऐसें असे

devasvarūpa jālā dehī | śrīvatsa kaustubha lakṣmī nāhīm | svarūpatecem lakṣaṇa pāhīm | aisem ase

In deva-form one has become an embodied-being; but lacks the Śrīvatsa, Kaustubha, Lakṣmī [marks of Viṣṇu]; the sign of *sārūpatā* is thus.

सुकृत आहे तों भोगिती । सुकृत सरतांच ढकलून देती । आपण देव ते असती । जैसे तैसे

sukṛta āhe tom bhogitī | sukṛta saratāmca ḍhakalūna detī | āpaṇa deva te asatī | jaise taise

As long as good-deeds last, they enjoy; when good-deeds run out, [they are] pushed off; the devas remain — as they are.

म्हणौनि तिनी मुक्ति नासिवंत । सायोज्यमुक्ती ते शाश्वत । तेहि निरोपिजेल सावचित्त । ऐक आतां

mhaṇauni tinī mukti nāsivamta | sāyojyamuktī te śāśvata | tehi niropijela sāvacitta | aika ātām

Therefore three muktis are perishable; *sāyojya-mukti* is eternal; that too will be expounded attentively — hear now.

ब्रह्मांड नासेल कल्पांतीं । पर्वतासहित जळेल क्षिती । तेव्हां अवघेच देव जाती । मां मुक्ति कैंच्या तेथें

brahmāmḍa nāsela kalpāmtīm | parvatāsahita jaḷela kṣitī | tevhām avagheca deva jātī | mām mukti kaimcyā tethem

The universe (brahmāṇḍa) perishes at *kalpānta*; earth along with mountains burns; then all devas depart — where then is the mukti-there?

तेव्हां निर्गुण परमात्मा निश्चळ । निर्गुण भक्ती तेहि अचळ । सायोज्यमुक्ती ते केवळ । जाणिजे ऐसी

tevhām nirguṇa paramātmā niścaḷa | nirguṇa bhaktī tehi acaḷa | sāyojyamuktī te kevaḷa | jāṇije aisī

Then *nirguṇa Paramātmā* is unwavering; *nirguṇa-bhakti* also is immovable; *sāyojya-mukti* is only that — know thus.

निर्गुणीं अनन्य असतां । तेणें होये सायोज्यता । सायोज्यता म्हणिजे स्वरूपता- । निर्गुण भक्ती

nirguṇīm ananya asatām | teṇem hoye sāyojyatā | sāyojyatā mhaṇije svarūpatā- | nirguṇa bhaktī

Being *ananya* in the *nirguṇa* — by that, *sāyojyatā* happens; *sāyojyatā* means *svarūpatā* — *nirguṇa-bhakti*.

सगुण भक्ती ते चळे । निर्गुण भक्ती ते न चळे । हें अवघें प्रांजळ कळे । सद्गुरु केलियां

saguṇa bhaktī te caḷe | nirguṇa bhaktī te na caḷe | hem avaghem prāmjaḷa kaḷe | sadguru keliyām

Saguṇa-bhakti moves; nirguṇa-bhakti does not move; all this is clearly understood — when Sadguru is made.
