13. It is solid and without gaps, like that found within a rock, and like the flowing orb of the moon. It flows like nectar, a taste to be savored by one's own self-awareness (sva-saṃvid).
कोशः सकलसौख्यानां शीतलालोककारकः ।
शैलाभोऽमृतपिण्डाभो मज्जाआत्मफलस्थितेः ॥ १४ ॥
kośaḥ sakalasaukhyānāṃ śītalālokakārakaḥ ,
śailābho'mṛtapiṇḍābho majjāātmaphalasthiteḥ 14
14. kośaḥ sakalasaukhyānām śītalālokakārakaḥ

śailābhaḥ amṛtapiṇḍābhaḥ ātmaphalasthiteḥ majjā
14. The sheath (kośa) is the treasury of all joys, producing a cool illumination. Resembling a mountain and a lump of nectar, it is the very essence (majjā) of the state of realizing the fruit of the self (ātman).
तस्मात्परममज्जा तु यासौ स्वात्मचमत्कृतिः ।
अनन्तरक्षितो नित्यमनन्यः श्रीफलं गतः ॥ १५ ॥
tasmātparamamajjā tu yāsau svātmacamatkṛtiḥ ,
anantarakṣito nityamananyaḥ śrīphalaṃ gataḥ 15
15. tasmāt paramamajjā tu yā asau svātmacamatkṛtiḥ
anantararakṣitaḥ nityam ananyaḥ śrīphalam gataḥ
15. tasmāt tu yā asau paramamajjā svātmacamatkṛtiḥ,
(ātman) anantararakṣitaḥ nityam ananyaḥ śrīphalam gataḥ
15. Therefore, that supreme essence (majjā) is indeed the wondrous nature of one's own self (ātman). This (self), perpetually protected and non-separate, has attained the fruit of auspiciousness.
स्वसंनिवेशवैचित्र्यमन्यत्वफलतां गताम् ।
अत्यजन्त्या तया तन्व्या स्थूलयाप्यतिबालया ॥ १६ ॥

atyajantyā tayā tanvyā sthūlayā api atibālayā
16. tayā tanvyā api sthūlayā atibālayā (śaktyā)
anyatvaphalatām gatām svasaṃniveśavaicitryam atyajantyā
16. By that subtle (tanvī), yet also gross, and very primordial [power (śakti)], which, even after having attained the state of generating distinctness (anyatvaphalatā), still does not abandon the wondrous diversity of its own innate constitution (svasaṃniveśavaicitrya).
इयमस्मीति कलनादसदप्यन्यतामलम् ।
भेदाद्यसंभवदिदं स्वयमुत्पाद्य भावितम् ॥ १७ ॥
iyamasmīti kalanādasadapyanyatāmalam ,

17. iyam asmi iti kalanāt asad api anyatvam alam
bhedādyasambhavat idam svayam utpādya bhāvitam
17. iyam asmi iti kalanāt asat api anyatvam alam,
bhedādyasambhavat idam svayam utpādya bhāvitam
17. From the cognition 'I am this', even that which is unreal appears as ample distinctness (anyatva). This (distinctness), which is inherently impossible due to differentiation (bheda), is manifested by itself, having been produced.
अहंकलासमुदयसमनन्तरमेव सा ।
वलिताकाशशब्दाङ्गत्रैलोक्यपरमाणुभिः ॥ १८ ॥
ahaṃkalāsamudayasamanantarameva sā ,

18. ahaṅkalāsamudayasamanantaram eva sā
valitā ākāśaśabdāṅgatrilokyaparamaṇubhiḥ
18. sā ahaṅkalāsamudayasamanantaram eva
valitā ākāśaśabdāṅgatrilokyaparamaṇubhiḥ
18. Immediately after the manifestation of ego (ahaṅkāra) and its aspects, she is enveloped by the subtle elements of space and sound, and by the atoms of the three worlds.
इत्यनुक्रमतो याता संविच्छक्तिस्वरूपताम् ।
मज्जा प्राक् संनिवेशं स्वं तमेवाप्य समुज्झती ॥ १९ ॥
ityanukramato yātā saṃvicchaktisvarūpatām ,
majjā prāk saṃniveśaṃ svaṃ tamevāpya samujjhatī 19
19. iti anukramataḥ yātā saṃvicchaktisvarūpatām majjā
prāk saṃniveśam svam tam eva āpya samujjhātī
19. majjā iti anukramataḥ saṃvicchaktisvarūpatām yātā
prāk tam svam saṃniveśam eva āpya samujjhātī
19. Thus, progressively, the marrow (majjā), having attained the nature of consciousness-power (saṃvit-śakti), and having previously reached its own established state, then completely abandons it.
संविच्छक्तया तया तत्र ततस्तरलरूपया ।
निज एव समे रूपे दृगित्थं संप्रसारिता ॥ २० ॥
saṃvicchaktayā tayā tatra tatastaralarūpayā ,
nija eva same rūpe dṛgitthaṃ saṃprasāritā 20
20. saṃvicchaktyā tayā tatra tatas taralarūpayā
nija eva same rūpe dṛk ittham samprasāritā
20. tayā tatra tatas taralarūpayā saṃvicchaktyā
ittham dṛk nija eva same rūpe samprasāritā
20. By that very consciousness-power (saṃvit-śakti), which is present there and thus fluid in nature, vision (dṛk) is consequently completely expanded into its own, identical form.
इदं व्योम महानन्तमियं कालमयी कला ।
इयं नियतिरित्युक्ता क्रियेयं स्पन्दरूपिणी ॥ २१ ॥
idaṃ vyoma mahānantamiyaṃ kālamayī kalā ,
iyaṃ niyatirityuktā kriyeyaṃ spandarūpiṇī 21
21. idam vyoma mahānantam iyam kālamayī kalā iyam
niyatiḥ iti uktā kriyā iyam spandarūpiṇī
21. idam vyoma mahānantam,
iyam kālamayī kalā,
iyam iti niyatiḥ uktā,
iyam kriyā spandarūpiṇī
21. This space is greatly infinite, and this aspect (kalā) is composed of time. This is called restriction (niyati), and this activity is vibrational in nature.
अयं संकल्पविस्तारस्त्वयमाशान्तरभ्रमः ।
रागद्वेषस्थितिरियं हेयोपादेयधीरियम् ॥ २२ ॥
ayaṃ saṃkalpavistārastvayamāśāntarabhramaḥ ,
rāgadveṣasthitiriyaṃ heyopādeyadhīriyam 22
22. ayam saṃkalpavistāraḥ tu ayam āśāntarabhramaḥ
rāgadveṣasthitiḥ iyam heyopādeyadhīḥ iyam
22. ayam saṃkalpavistāraḥ ayam tu āśāntarabhramaḥ
iyam rāgadveṣasthitiḥ iyam heyopādeyadhīḥ
22. This is the expansion of mental resolve (saṃkalpa), and this is the inner delusion born of desires. This is the state of attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa), and this is the intellect that distinguishes between what is to be rejected and what is to be accepted.
इयं त्वत्ता त्वियं मत्ता तत्तेयं संस्थिता स्वयम् ।
ब्रह्माण्डौघोऽयमूर्ध्वस्थः स्वयमङ्गोर्ध्वमप्यधः ॥ २३ ॥

brahmāṇḍaugho'yamūrdhvasthaḥ svayamaṅgordhvamapyadhaḥ 23
23. iyam tvattā tu iyam mattā tat te iyam saṃsthitā svayam
brahmāṇḍaughaḥ ayam ūrdhvasthaḥ svayam aṅgordhvam api adhaḥ
23. iyam tvattā iyam tu mattā tat te iyam svayam saṃsthitā ayam
brahmāṇḍaughaḥ svayam ūrdhvasthaḥ aṅgordhvam api adhaḥ
23. This is "your-ness" (tvattā), this is "my-ness" (mattā); that (reality), indeed, this (self) is spontaneously established. This torrent of cosmic eggs (brahmāṇḍa) stands elevated by itself, with its parts extending both upwards and downwards.
अयं पुरः पार्श्वतोऽयं पश्चादाराद्दवीयसी ।
इदं भूतं वर्तमानं भविष्यत्त्विदमित्यपि ॥ २४ ॥
ayaṃ puraḥ pārśvato'yaṃ paścādārāddavīyasī ,
idaṃ bhūtaṃ vartamānaṃ bhaviṣyattvidamityapi 24
24. ayam puraḥ pārśvataḥ ayam paścāt ārāt davīyasī
idam bhūtam vartamānam bhaviṣyat tu idam iti api
24. ayam puraḥ ayam pārśvataḥ paścāt ārāt davīyasī
idam bhūtam vartamānam bhaviṣyat tu idam iti api
24. This is in front, this is to the side; this is behind, both near and very far. This is the past, the present, and the future; indeed, this very moment is also thus.
इदमन्तःस्थितानल्पकल्पनाम्भोरुहालयम् ।
ब्रह्माण्डमण्डपापीडक्रीडामण्डपमण्डलम् ॥ २५ ॥
idamantaḥsthitānalpakalpanāmbhoruhālayam ,

25. idam antaḥsthitaanalpakalpanāmbhoruhālayam
brahmāṇḍamaṇḍapāpīḍakrīḍāmaṇḍapamaṇḍalam
25. idam antaḥsthitaanalpakalpanāmbhoruhālayam
brahmāṇḍamaṇḍapāpīḍakrīḍāmaṇḍapamaṇḍalam
25. This (world) is a lotus-abode for countless imaginings (kalpanā) situated within. It is a cluster of pleasure-pavilions, which forms the crest-jewel atop the cosmic pavilion (brahmāṇḍa-maṇḍapa).
अनन्तकलनातत्त्वपरिपल्लविता हरेः ।
हृदब्जकर्णिका चेयं लोकपद्माक्षमालिका ॥ २६ ॥
anantakalanātattvaparipallavitā hareḥ ,
hṛdabjakarṇikā ceyaṃ lokapadmākṣamālikā 26
26. anantakalanātattvaparipallavitā hareḥ
hṛdabjakarṇikā ca iyam lokapadmākṣamālikā
26. iyam hareḥ hṛdabjakarṇikā
anantakalanātattvaparipallavitā ca lokapadmākṣamālikā
26. This (manifestation), which is the pericarp of Hari's lotus-heart, is fully blossomed with the principle (tattva) of infinite creations. It is also a garland (mālikā) of worlds, each like a lotus-eyed being.
इयं कीर्णमहारुद्रगणापूरितकोटरा ।
दीर्घाभ्रसरणिर्भ्रान्तध्वंसनेभ्यः प्रभाविनी ॥ २७ ॥

27. iyam kīrṇamahārudragaṇāpūritakoṭarā
dīrghābhrasaraṇiḥ bhrāntadhvaṃsanebhyaḥ prabhāvinī
27. This (manifestation) has its hollows filled with scattered hosts of great Rudras. It is a long path of clouds, and it is efficacious for the destruction of those who wander (in saṃsāra).
इयं मेरुः ककुभ्यत्र जगत्पङ्कजकर्णिका ।
स्फुरदिन्दुमधूल्लासलम्पटामरषट्पदा ॥ २८ ॥

28. iyam atra kakubhi meruḥ jagatpaṅkajakarṇikā
sphuradindumadhūllāsalampaṭāmarṣaṭpadā
28. This (manifestation) is Mount Meru, extending in all directions, and it is the pericarp of the world-lotus. It is like celestial bees (amara ṣaṭpadā), eagerly desirous of the surging honey from the glittering moon.
इयमुद्दामसौगन्ध्यस्वर्गश्रीपुष्पमञ्जरी ।
जगज्जरठवृक्षस्य रजोनरकमूलिनः ॥ २९ ॥

rajonarakamūlinaḥ jagajjarathavṛkṣasya
29. This (manifestation) is a cluster of flowers endowed with intense fragrance and heavenly glory. It belongs to the ancient world-tree whose roots are the dust and hell (naraka).

30. iyam ca vyomalīlāsarojinī tārākiñjalkā
brahmārṇava-taṭasthitā apārāpāra-paryantā
30. And this [universe] is a playful lotus of space (vyoman), its filaments are the stars, standing on the shore of the ocean of Brahman (brahman), utterly boundless and without limits.
इयं क्रियापरिग्राहा तरङ्गतरलावली ।
सर्गावर्तविधानस्थभूरिभूतपरम्परा ॥ ३१ ॥

sargāvarta-vidhāna-stha-bhūribhūta-paramparā
31. This [universe] encompasses all actions, resembling a restless series of waves. It is a vast succession of beings (bhūta), abiding within the cyclical process (vidhāna) of the whirlpool of creation (sarga).
इयत्तया प्रसरिणी क्षणकल्पादिपल्लवा ।
तेजःकेसरिणी कालनलिनी व्योमपङ्कजा ॥ ३२ ॥

tejaḥkesariṇī kālanalinī vyomapaṅkajā
32. iyam iyattayā prasariṇī kṣaṇakalpādi-pallavā
tejaḥkesariṇī kālanalinī vyomapaṅkajā
32. In its manifested extent, this [universe] spreads out, with moments and cosmic eons (kalpa) serving as its initial sprouts. It possesses brilliance (tejas) as its filaments, and is indeed a lotus of time (kāla) and a lotus of space (vyoman).
इमा भावविकाराढ्या जरामृतिविषूचिकाः ।
विद्याविद्याविलासाढ्या इमाः शास्त्रार्थदृष्टयः ॥ ३३ ॥

imāḥ vidyāvidyā-vilāsāḍhyāḥ śāstrārthadṛṣṭayaḥ
33. These [manifestations] are rich with the transformations of existence (bhāva), and are like the afflictions of old age and death. Similarly, these [manifestations] are also the perspectives on scriptural meanings (śāstra), endowed with the playful dance (vilāsa) of both knowledge (vidyā) and ignorance (avidyā).
इति सा तस्य बिल्वस्य निजमज्जाचमत्कृतिः ।
संकल्पसंनिवेशान्तरेवैव कृतसंस्थितिः ॥ ३४ ॥

34. sā tasya bilvasya nija-majjā-camatkṛtiḥ saṃkalpa-saṃniveśa-antare eva eva kṛta-saṃsthitiḥ iti.
34. Thus, that power (śakti) is the wondrous manifestation of the Bilva tree's own essence, having established itself precisely within the core of its initial conception and arrangement.
