श्रीदेव्युवाच ।
प्रतिभान्ति जगन्त्याशु मृतिमोहादनन्तरम् ।
जीवस्योन्मीलनादक्ष्णो रूपाणीवाखिलान्यलम् ॥ १ ॥
śrīdevyuvāca ,
pratibhānti jagantyāśu mṛtimohādanantaram ,
jīvasyonmīlanādakṣṇo rūpāṇīvākhilānyalam 1
1. śrīdevī uvāca pratibhānti jaganti āśu mṛtimohāt anantaram
jīvasya unmīlanāt akṣṇaḥ rūpāṇi iva akhilāni alam
1. śrīdevī uvāca.
mṛtimohāt anantaram āśu jaganti pratibhānti.
jīvasya akṣṇaḥ unmīlanāt akhilāni rūpāṇi iva alam (pratibhānti).
1. Śrīdevī said: Immediately after the delusion of death, the worlds (jagati) quickly appear, just as all forms (rūpāṇi) entirely become visible to the individual soul's (jīva) eye (akṣṇaḥ) upon its opening.
1. הָאֵלָה (שְׁרִי דֵוִי) אמרה: מיד לאחר אשליות המוות, עולמות צצים במהירות לנגד עיני הנשמה (גִ'יוַה), כשם שכל הצורות נגלות ברגע שנפקחות העיניים.

2. dikkālakalanākāśadharmakarmamayāni ca
parisphuranti anantāni kalpāntasthairyavanti ca
2. te (jaganti) dikkālakalanākāśadharmakarmamayāni ca (santi).
anantāni kalpāntasthairyavanti ca (santīti) parisphuranti.
2. And these (worlds) manifest, consisting of directions (dik), time, conceptualization, space, natural law (dharma), and action (karma); they are infinite and endure with stability until the end of a cosmic cycle (kalpānta).
2. עולמות אינסופיים המורכבים מרחב, זמן, תנועה, אתר, חוקי טבע (דְהַרְמַה) ופעולות (קַרְמַה) זוהרים ומופיעים, ונראים יציבים עד לקץ העידן הקוסמי.

नानुभूतं न यद्दृष्टं तन्मया कृतमित्यपि ।

nānubhūtaṃ na yaddṛṣṭaṃ tanmayā kṛtamityapi ,

3. na anubhūtam na yat dṛṣṭam tat mayā kṛtam iti api
tatkṣaṇāt smṛtitām eti svapne svamaraṇam yathā
3. yathā svapne svamaraṇam (smṛtitām eti),
tathā na anubhūtam na yat dṛṣṭam api (yat) mayā kṛtam iti (manyate),
tat tatkṣaṇāt smṛtitām eti
3. Even that which has not been experienced nor seen, but is nevertheless conceived as 'I did that,' immediately becomes a memory, just like one's own death (svamaraṇa) in a dream.
3. גם מה שמעולם לא נחווה, לא נראה ולא נעשה, הופך ברגע אחד לזיכרון – בדיוק כפי שאדם חווה את מותו שלו בחלום.

भ्रान्तिरेवमनन्तेयं चिद्व्योमव्योम्नि भासुरा ।

bhrāntirevamananteyaṃ cidvyomavyomni bhāsurā ,

4. bhrāntiḥ evam anantā iyam citvyomavyomni
bhāsurā apakuḍyā jagannāmnī nagarī kalpanātmikā
4. evam iyam anantā bhrāntiḥ citvyomavyomni bhāsurā
kalpanātmikā apakuḍyā jagannāmnī nagarī (asti)
4. Thus, this infinite illusion (bhrānti), brilliant within the vast expanse of consciousness (cit-vyoma), is an imaginary, wall-less city named 'world' (jagat).
4. כך, במרחב של מרחב-התודעה (צִדְאָקָאשַׁה), זוהרת האשליה הבלתי נדלית הזו – עיר בשם עולם, העשויה מדמיון בלבד וללא חומות ממשיות.

इदं जगदयं सर्गः स्मृतिरेवेति जृम्भते ।

5. idam jagat ayam sargaḥ smṛtiḥ eva iti jṛmbhate
dūrakalpakṣaṇābhyāsaviparyāsaikarūpiṇī
5. idam jagat ayam sargaḥ smṛtiḥ eva iti
dūrakalpakṣaṇābhyāsaviparyāsaikarūpiṇī jṛmbhate
5. This world (jagat), this creation (sarga), is nothing but memory (smṛti) itself, which manifests as a singular form of misapprehension, born from the continuous recurrence of moments across distant cosmic cycles (kalpa).
5. התפיסה זהו העולם, זוהי הבריאה מתרחבת כזיכרון בלבד, ולובשת צורה מתוך ההרגל לבלבל בין רגע חולף לבין עידן קוסמי שלם.

नानुभूतानुभूता च ज्ञप्तिरित्थं द्विरूपिणी ।

nānubhūtānubhūtā ca jñaptiritthaṃ dvirūpiṇī ,

6. na anubhūtā anubhūtā ca jñaptiḥ ittham dvirūpiṇī
pūrvakāraṇariktā eva citrūpā eva pravartate
6. ittham jñaptiḥ na anubhūtā ca anubhūtā (iti) dvirūpiṇī (asti).
(sā) pūrvakāraṇariktā eva citrūpā eva pravartate
6. Cognition (jñapti) is thus of a dual nature: both experienced and not experienced. Yet, it functions (pravartate) solely as consciousness (cit), devoid of any prior causes.
6. התודעה פועלת אפוא בצורה כפולה – הן כחוויה שלא נחוותה והן כחוויה שנחוותה; היא ריקה מכל סיבה קודמת ופועלת אך ורק בטבעה הטהור כ-צִט (תודעה).

7. na anubhūte anubhūtatva-saṃvit antaram udeti api
svapna-bhramādau anyasmin pitari iva pituḥ smṛtiḥ
7. na anubhūte api anubhūtatva-saṃvit antaram udeti,
svapna-bhramādau anyasmin pitari iva pituḥ smṛtiḥ
7. Even concerning something not [personally] experienced, the inner consciousness (saṃvit) of having experienced it can still arise. This is like how a memory (smṛti) of one's father (pituḥ) might surface when encountering someone else's father (anyasmin pitari), such as in a dream or an illusion (svapna-bhramādau).
7. בתוך מה שלא נחווה מתעוררת תודעה פנימית כאילו הדבר נחווה, כמו בחלום או בתעתוע שבהם אדם נזכר באדם זר כאילו היה אביו.

8. kadācit smṛtitām tyaktvā,
pratibhā-mātram eva sat [idam] prathama-sargeṣu rūpeṇa tat anukramāt bhāti
8. Sometimes, abandoning the nature of memory (smṛti), [the latent impression] manifests (bhāti) as mere intuition (pratibhā-mātram eva sat), taking form (rūpeṇa) in the first creations (prathama-sargeṣu) and then [developing] sequentially (tat anukramāt).
8. לפעמים היא זונחת את צורת הזיכרון ומופיעה כהופעה ספונטנית טהורה בלבד, הזוהרת בבריאות הראשוניות במבנה סדור.

9. dṛśyam tri-bhuvanādi idam anubhūtam smṛtau sthitam
keṣāñcit tanvi keṣāñcit na anubhūtam smṛtau sthitam
9. tanvi,
idam dṛśyam tri-bhuvanādi keṣāñcit anubhūtam smṛtau sthitam [asti]; keṣāñcit [tu] na anubhūtam [api] smṛtau sthitam [asti].
9. O slender one (tanvi), this visible world (dṛśyam), beginning with the three worlds (tri-bhuvanādi), is, for some (keṣāñcit), experienced (anubhūtam) and established in memory (smṛtau sthitam). For others (keṣāñcit), it is not [directly] experienced (na anubhūtam) yet still established in memory (smṛtau sthitam).
9. עולם נגלה זה של שלושת העולמות שמור בזיכרון מפני שנחווה בעבר עבור חלק מהישויות, תַנְוִי יקירתי, ואילו עבור אחרים הוא שמור בזיכרון מבלי שנחווה מעולם.

10. pratibhāsate eva idam keṣāñcit saraṇam vinā
cit-aṇūnām prajeśatvam kāka-tālīya-vat yataḥ
10. keṣāñcit idam saraṇam vinā eva pratibhāsate,
yataḥ cit-aṇūnām prajeśatvam kāka-tālīya-vat [bhavati].
10. For some (keṣāñcit), this (idam) manifests directly (pratibhāsate eva) without any [sequential] process (saraṇam vinā). This is because (yataḥ) the capacity for creation (prajeśatvam) of the conscious atoms (cit-aṇūnām) is like the 'crow and palm fruit' (kāka-tālīya-vat) [an accidental occurrence].
10. עבור חלקן, היקום מופיע ללא כל נדודי גלגולים קודמים; מעמד יוצר הבריאה (פְרַגָ'אָפַּטִי) מגיע לחלקיקי תודעה אלה בדרך המקרה בלבד.

11. atyantavismṛtam viśvam mokṣaḥ iti abhidhīyate
tatra kasyacit kācana īpsitānīpsite na staḥ
11. The state where the world is completely forgotten is referred to as liberation (mokṣa). In that state, there are no desired or undesired things for anyone.
11. שכחה מוחלטת של היקום היא שנקראת שחרור (מוֹקְשַׁה). במצב זה אין לאיש רצונות או סלידות כלשהם.

anutpādamayī hi eṣā na udeti eva vimuktatā
12. ahantājagatsthiteḥ atyantābhāvasampattim vinā
eṣā anutpādamayī vimuktatā hi eva na udeti
12. Without the complete disappearance of the ego (ahantā) and the world's conditioned existence, this liberation (vimuktatā) - which is characterized by non-origination - certainly does not arise.
12. ללא היעלמות מוחלטת של תחושת האגו (אני) ושל מציאות העולם, השחרור האמיתי – שמהותו היא הבנת אי-היווצרות העולם – אינו יכול להפציע.

13. rajjvām sarpabhramaḥ sarpaśabdārthāsaṃbhavam sthitam
anutpādamayam tyaktvā api hi śāntaḥ na śāmyati
13. In a rope, the illusion of a snake - which is established as the impossibility of the word 'snake' having (real) meaning (there) and is by nature non-existent - even having abandoned this (illusion's nature), a person who is otherwise calm (śāntaḥ) does not truly attain peace.
13. כשם שאשלית הנחש בחבל נעלמת כשמבינים כי נחש מעולם לא היה שם, כך ללא הטמעת אמת אי-היווצרות היקום, גם מי שנראה שקט אינו שקוע בשלווה אמיתית.

14. asau ardhaśāntaḥ na śāntaḥ punaḥ arthatayā sametya
ekapiśācānte hi adhīmataḥ anyaḥ piśācaḥ udeti
14. A person who is only partially calm is not truly peaceful. For, with the return of an object (of thought) once more, when one mental agitation (piśāca) ends, another mental agitation indeed arises for the intelligent individual.
14. מי ששקט רק למחצה אינו שקט כלל; עבור האדם הבלתי נבון, ברגע שנעלם שד אחד של אשליה, מופיע שד אחר במקומו כמציאות ממשית.

15. ayam ābhogī saṃsāraḥ ca param eva iti niścayaḥ,
yat iha ābhātam eva tat kāraṇābhāvataḥ bhāti.
15. This extensive worldly existence (saṃsāra) is indeed the Supreme Reality itself – such is the firm conviction. Whatever appears here, that alone manifests because there is no separate cause for its appearance.
15. סַמְסָארָה נרחבת זו אינה אלא המציאות העליונה (בְּרַהְמָן) עצמה; זוהי אמת מוחלטת. בהיעדר כל סיבה לבריאתה, כל מה שמופיע כאן הוא למעשה בלתי נברא ובלתי מופע.

17. śrīdevī uvāca.
tatra pitāmahasmṛtiḥ kāraṇam,
tasya smṛtiḥ na.
pūrvam eva na saṃbhavati pūrvajanmanaḥ muktatvāt.
17. Śrī Devī said: The memory of Brahmā (pitāmaha) was the cause there; his (the Brahmin's) own memory was not. Indeed, his own prior memory is not possible, due to his having achieved liberation (mokṣa) from his previous birth.
17. הָאֵלָה אמרה: זיכרונו של הבורא (בְּרַהְמָא) לא נבע מזיכרון של גלגול קודם, שהרי זיכרון קודם כזה לא היה אפשרי כלל, מאחר ובגלגולו הקודם הוא כבר זכה בשחרור.

18. pūrvam smaraṇīyam iti svayam eva na saṃbhavati.
tathāsthiteḥ caitanyasya padmajāditvam āyāti.
18. Indeed, it is not possible for him to remember his past directly. The consciousness (caitanya) attains the state of being Brahmā (padmajāditva) due to its being in such a condition.
18. בהיעדר אובייקט קודם להיזכר בו, התודעה הטהורה עצמה לובשת באופן טבעי את צורת בְּרַהְמָא ושאר הבוראים, מתוך טבעה הפנימי.

19. Another lord of creatures, distinct from Prajāpati (the ultimate creator), might conceive 'I was born' (thus asserting individual existence). Yet, someone else simply becomes endowed with intuitive insight (pratibhā) by mere chance, like the crow and the palm fruit.
19. בחושבו אני הייתי, בורא אחר (פְרַגָ'אָפַּטִי) בא לעולם בדרך המקרה בלבד, כהופעה תודעתית טהורה.

20. When the world thus appears, nothing ever truly exists, at any time. What is named as having 'arisen' somewhere is merely consciousness (cit) abiding as space (nabhaḥ).
20. אף כשנדמה שהעולם מופיע כך, שום דבר מעולם לא נוצר בשום מקום ובשום זמן; קיים רק המרחב הטהור והבלתי נחלק של התודעה (צִדְאָקָאשַׁה).

21. asyāḥ dvividhāyāḥ smṛteḥ kāraṇam paramam padam (asti)
asau kāryakāraṇabhāvaḥ cit ambare ekaḥ eva (asti)
21. The supreme state (paramam padam) is the cause of this two-fold memory (smṛti). This very relationship of cause and effect (kāryakāraṇabhāva) is one and the same in the consciousness-space (cid-ambara).
21. המצב העליון (בְּרַהְמָן) הוא הסיבה העילאית לשני סוגי הזיכרון הללו. היחס המדומה של סיבה ותוצאה קיים כמציאות אחת בלבד במרחב התודעה.

22. kāryam ca kāraṇam ca eva sahakāribhiḥ kāraṇaiḥ (yuktam asti) kāryakāraṇayoḥ aikyāt,

22. Both the effect and the cause, along with their cooperative causes, exist. Due to the oneness (aikya) of cause and effect, and because of the non-existence of a truly separate effect (tad-abhāvāt), (the worldly process) does not cease.
22. התוצאה, הסיבה והגורמים המסייעים הם אחד במהותם; ומאחר שהסיבה והתוצאה זהות, האשליה אינה נעלמת עד שלא מבינים את אי-נפרדותן.

23. tvam smaraṇam vedanam eva mahācidrūpam viddhi
tena kāryakāraṇatā saḥ śabdaḥ ca na vāstavaḥ
23. You should indeed understand remembrance and knowing as simply the nature of the great consciousness. Therefore, the word "causality" is not truly real.
23. דעי כי הזיכרון והתפיסה אינם אלא טבעה של התודעה הגדולה (צִט). על כן, המושג סיבה ותוצאה אינו אלא מילה בעלמא, ולא הבחנה במציאות.

24. evam kiñcit utpannam dṛśyam cit jagat ādi api

24. In this way, nothing perceivable, not even the conscious (cit) world and so forth, has truly originated. The consciousness-ether (cidākāśa) itself, exists solely within its own essential Self (ātman).
24. כך, שום דבר אינו מופיע בעולם הנגלֶה – לא התודעה ולא היקום. מרחב התודעה שוכן בתוך מרחב התודעה, שרוי אך ורק בעצמו.

32. The Goddess said: "These worlds are in fact formless, but they appear to possess forms due to a baseless insistence. They are perceived by you as having distinct shapes, much like gold (heman) is understood as a ring (ūrmikā) through a particular mental construct (dhiyā)."
32. הָאֵלָה אמרה: עולמות אלה הם למעשה חסרי צורה גשמית, אך מתוך אשלת הבל אתם תופסים אותם כבעלי צורה – כשם שאדם רואה טבעת במקום לראות פשוט זהב.

33. Even when gold (heman) takes on the form of a ring (ūrmikā), the essential quality of 'ringness' (ūrmikātva) does not truly reside within it. Similarly, though appearing as the world, the world (jagat) does not inherently exist in (brahman), the ultimate reality.
33. כשם שבזהב העשוי כטבעת אין כל מהות של טבעת הנפרדת מהזהב, כך ב-בְּרַהְמָן המופיע כעולם אין כל עולם ממשי.

34. This world (jagat) is nothing but space, and indeed, it is only (brahman) that is perceived here. Is even a single speck of dust seen here, as if in the ocean?
34. עולם זה אינו אלא מרחב טהור; רק בְּרַהְמָן נראה כאן. לראות כאן עולם זה כמו לראות חלקיק אבק בלב האוקיינוס.

35. This phenomenal world is certainly illusory. I am the non-dual reality (brahman). The authoritative proofs for this are the Vedantic scriptures, the spiritual teachers (gurus), and direct experience.
35. התגלות תופעתית זו היא אשליה בלבד; בְּרַהְמָן לבדו הוא המציאות, ואני איני נפרדת ממנו. ההוכחה לכך מצויה ב-וֶדָאנְטַה, בהוראותיהם של המורים הרוחניים (גּוּרוּ) ובחוויה האישית הישירה.

36. Only the Absolute Reality (brahman) perceives the Absolute Reality (brahman); that which is not (brahman) cannot perceive (brahman). Such is its intrinsic nature (dharma), which is renowned by names such as 'creation' and so forth.
36. רק בְּרַהְמָן רואה את בְּרַהְמָן; מה שאינו בְּרַהְמָן אינו יכול לראות את בְּרַהְמָן. כזה הוא טבעו המובנה, המכונה בלשון בני אדם בריאה וכדומה.

37. There is no origination of a cause-and-effect relationship between (brahman) and the world. This is due to the absence of all auxiliary (cooperating) causes.

38. As long as your intellect, which perceives duality, has not been calmed through sustained spiritual practice (abhyāsa-yoga), for that long you will certainly not perceive (brahman), as your understanding will be of a nature different from it.

41. O beautiful one (aṅgane), similarly, these beings like Brahmā (Padmaja) and others are worthy of a body of pure knowledge (viśuddhajñānadeha). In a part (aṃśe) of this (pure knowledge body) is the establishment (saṃsthānam) of Brahman (brahman), the Self (ātman), the world, and so on.

42. O young girl (bāle)! Without your consistent practice (abhyāsa), the form has not attained the state of Brahman (brahman). The Self (ātman), whose nature (ātman) is merely conceptualization (kalana), remains (in that state), and therefore you do not perceive that (Brahman).
42. נערה צעירה, ללא תרגול רוחני צורתך אינה הופכת למהות בְּרַהְמַן; היא נותרת כבולה לתפיסה המשגיגה, ולכן אינך רואה את המצב העליון.

51. saḥ ayam etādṛśaḥ dehaḥ aham enam saṃtyajya na yāmi anena eva (aham) tam deśam āpnomi,
anilaḥ gandham iva (āpnoti)
51. This body is of such a nature that I do not abandon it and depart. Instead, through this very body, I attain that subtle state, just as the wind (carries) fragrance.
51. גופי הוא מעודן שכזה, ואיני צריכה לנטוש אותו כדי ללכת; בגוף זה ממש אני מגיעה אל המקום ההוא, כפי שהרוח נושאת עימה את הריח.

52. כפי שמים מתמזגים במים, אש באש ורוח ברוח, כך מתמזג גוף מעודן זה בגופים מעודנים ומחשבתיים אחרים.

(bhavati) kalpanāśailaśailayoḥ mithaḥ āhatiḥ kva (bhavati)?
53. Indeed, the consciousness of individual earthliness does not attain oneness with the universal consciousness of earth. For where could there be a mutual collision between two imaginary mountains?
53. שהרי חשיבה חומרית אינה מתנגשת בחשיבה מעודנת; כיצד יכול הר דמיוני להתנגש בהר גשמי?

54. This (subtle body) is indeed a subtle vehicle (ātivāhika) and a mental body (cittadehaka). However, due to prolonged mental conditioning (cirabhāvanāt), it is perceived by people like you as having a material nature.
54. גוף זה של אנשים כמוך הוא למעשה גוף מופשט רוחני (אָתִיוָאהִקָה) העשוי מחשיבה, אך בשל הרגל תפיסתי ממושך הוא נתפס כגוף חומרי גשמי.

58. Śrī Devī said: The process of coming into existence and passing away can only apply to that which truly exists. But how can there be destruction for that which fundamentally does not exist?
58. האלה אמרה: תהליך של הרס או אי-הרס יכול להתרחש רק לגבי מה שקיים באמת. אך מה שאינו קיים כלל במציאות — איזה מין הרס יכול להיות לו?

59. My son, when the illusion of a snake in a rope is dispelled due to the power of true knowledge, is the snake truly destroyed, or merely eradicated (as a misconception)? What kind of question is that (it is meaningless, as the snake never existed)?
59. בתי, כאשר אשליית הנחש בחבל נעלמת הודות להבנת האמת, איזה טעם יש לדבר על האם הנחש הושמד או לא הושמד?

60. Just as a snake is no longer perceived once the true nature of a rope is recognized, similarly, the physical manifestation (ādhibhautika) is not seen when there is knowledge of the subtle or transcendental reality (ātivāhika-jñāna).
60. כשם שבאמצעות ידיעת האמת לא רואים עוד נחש בחבל, כך מתוך הכרת הגוף המעודן (אָתִיוָאהִקָה) לא רואים עוד גוף פיזי גשמי.

66. There is certainly no (duality) in the experience of reality (sat), just as there is certainly no (duality) in Brahman. This is because of the inherent, undefiled nature of that Self (ātman) which is distinct from all imagination.

67. Just as there is no dust in the sky, so too there is no part (kalā) in the Supreme (brahman). This is the peaceful, one, unborn, pervasive reality, which is essentially partless.
67. כשם שאין אבק בשמיים, כך במציאות העליונה אין חלקים או תכונות. מציאות זו היא אחת, ללא חלוקה מחשבתית, שלווה, בלתי נולדת ופרוסה בכל.

70. The Goddess said: "O fickle one, you have been deluded and agitated for a long time due to lack of inquiry (avicāra). This thoughtlessness (avicāra) arises from one's intrinsic nature (svabhāva), but it perishes through proper inquiry (vicāra)."
70. האלה אמרה: חסרת מנוחה שכמותך, בהיעדר חקירה פנימית היית נבוכה ונסערת זמן רב. היעדר חקירה עולה באופן טבעי, אך הוא נעלם באמצעות בירור ובחינה פנימית.

71. avicāraḥ vicāreṇa nimeṣāt eva naśyati tena
eṣā sattā eva; eṣā antara avidyā na vidyate 71
71. Lack of inquiry (avicāra) perishes instantly by means of (proper) inquiry (vicāra). Therefore, this is merely existence (sattā) itself; this inner ignorance (avidyā) simply does not exist.
71. היעדר החקירה נעלם כהרף עין מתוך בירור פנימי. רק ההוויה האמיתית קיימת, ולכן הַאֲוִידְיָה (הבורות הרוחנית) הפנימית אינה קיימת כלל.

avicāraḥ na eva asti,
na avidyā asti,
na bandhanam (asti) na mokṣaḥ asti; idam jagat nirābādham śuddhabodham (asti) 72
72. Therefore, there is neither thoughtlessness (avicāra) nor ignorance (avidyā), nor bondage, nor liberation (mokṣa). This world (jagat) is unimpeded, pure consciousness (bodha).
72. לפיכך אין היעדר חקירה, אין אֲוִידְיָה (בורות), אין כבילות ואין מוֹקְשָׁה (שחרור); עולם זה כולו הוא תודעה טהורה ובלתי מופרעת.

75. Indeed, if the phenomenal world, known as transmigration (saṃsāra), did not arise in the very beginning, then how could latent impressions (vāsanā) be created by it? What kind of latent impressions (vāsanā) would they even be?
75. כאשר המציאות הנתפסת הנקראת סַמְסָארָה (סבך הקיום התופעתי) מעולם לא נוצרה מלכתחילה, כיצד היא יכולה להותיר רשמים, ואילו וָאסָנוֹת (נטיות סמויות) יכולות להיות?
