अथ तृतीयोऽध्यायः । atha tṛtīyo'dhyāyaḥ // Beginning of Chapter Three
| [3:1] | गुणविगुणविभागो वर्तते नैव किञ्चित् | guṇaviguṇavibhāgo vartate naiva kiñcit |
| रतिविरतिविहीनं निर्मलं निष्प्रपञ्चम् । | rativirativihīnaṁ nirmalaṁ niṣprapañcam / | |
| गुणविगुणविहीनं व्यापकं विश्वरूपं | guṇaviguṇavihīnaṁ vyāpakaṁ viśvarūpaṁ | |
| कथमहमिह वन्दे व्योमरूपं शिवं वै ।। १।। | kathamahamiha vande vyomarūpaṁ śivaṁ vai //1// | |
The distinction of 'quality' (guṇa) and absence of quality does not exist in the least. How shall I worship Siva The Absolute who is devoid of attachment and detachment who is of the form of ether, omniform, beyond illusion and all pervading? | ||
|
This Siva could then be said to be like space, or void yet beyond both. Having the nature/form of Aether' (vyomarūpa). Omniform or 'universal form' (viśvarūpa). | ||
| [3:2] | श्वेतादिवर्णरहितो नियतं शिवश्च | śvetādivarṇarahito niyataṁ śivaśca |
| कार्यं हि कारणमिदं हि परं शिवश्च । | kāryaṁ hi kāraṇamidaṁ hi paraṁ śivaśca / | |
| एवं विकल्परहितोऽहमलं शिवश्च | evaṁ vikalparahito'hamalaṁ śivaśca | |
| स्वात्मानमात्मनि सुमित्र कथं नमामि ।। २।। | svātmānamātmani sumitra kathaṁ namāmi //2// | |
Siva (The Absolute) is ever without white and other colors. This effect and cause are also The Supreme Siva. I am thus the pure Siva, Devoid of all doubt. Oh beloved friend, how shall I bow to The Self in myself? In that I do not exist in reality, I myself, am no Self yet there is awareness of Self as awareness in itself I am thus nothing at all but pure consciousness existing as awareness. But the evidence of my existence is not known until there is consciousness. The objective Cosmos, is nothing at all yet when "I", (as awareness) become aware of the consciousness There is then the Cosmos, existing in awareness. | ||
|
Here it can be seen, that the Cosmos and Consciousness are non-different because all that is knowable as existing in Cosmos is known to exist only by The Consciousness. However, Pure Awareness exists in itself of itself. there is no object there, thus it is non-differentiated infinity. Time then and with it space, are transcended. | ||
| [3:3] | निर्मूलमूलरहितो हि सदोदितोऽहं | nirmūlamūlarahito hi sadodito'haṁ |
| निर्धूमधूमरहितो हि सदोदितोऽहम् । | nirdhūmadhūmarahito hi sadodito'ham / | |
| निर्दीपदीपरहितो हि सदोदितोऽहं | nirdīpadīparahito hi sadodito'haṁ | |
| ज्ञानामृतं समरसं गगनोपमोऽहम् ।। ३।। | jñānāmṛtaṁ samarasaṁ gaganopamo'ham //3// | |
I am devoid of root and rootlessness and am ever manifest. I am devoid of smoke and smokelessness and am ever manifest. I am devoid of light and the absence of light and am ever manifest. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence like the sky. | ||
|
Because I exist, that which is knowable is known; the knowable being that which Consciousness is conscious of can only be known in the awareness. This is not to say that there is a knower who knows But that there is awareness that knows the consciousness as well as knowing the knower at the same time. The known being known only in the awareness, by Consciousness cannot otherwise be known or said to exist at all. The known therefore depends upon the fact that awareness is aware of that of which the mind is conscious. | ||
| [3:4] | निष्कामकाममिह नाम कथं वदामि | niṣkāmakāmamiha nāma kathaṁ vadāmi |
| निःसङ्गसङ्गमिह नाम कथं वदामि । | niḥsaṅgasaṅgamiha nāma kathaṁ vadāmi / | |
| निःसारसाररहितं च कथं वदामि | niḥsārasārarahitaṁ ca kathaṁ vadāmi | |
| ज्ञानामृतं समरसं गगनोपमोऽहम् ।। ४।। | jñānāmṛtaṁ samarasaṁ gaganopamo'ham //4// | |
How shall I speak of desirelessness and desire? How shall I speak of non-attachment and attachment? How shall I speak of Him as devoid of substance and insubstantiality? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. | ||
|
Because the knowledge of all that exists, depends upon the preexistence of a consciousness which can come to know the known, even the knowing consciousness is preceded by Pure Awareness. Thus it follows that I am the source of existence yet in myself I am without form, yet all form flows from me; as does the existence of the consciousness. | ||
| [3:5] | अद्वैतरूपमखिलं हि कथं वदामि | advaitarūpamakhilaṁ hi kathaṁ vadāmi |

| नित्यं त्वनित्यमखिलं हि कथं वदामि | nityaṁ tvanityamakhilaṁ hi kathaṁ vadāmi | |

How shall I speak of the whole, which is non-dual? How shall I speak of the whole which is of the nature of duality? How shall I speak of the whole, which is eternal and non-eternal? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence like the sky. | ||
