JVV tyd-Kat hAnakam The Narrative ofNityd deities





SanatKumara said:

1. Henceforth, О brahmin, I shall recount to you the worship of Nitya deities along with the application of Mantras.

2. The entire object is implied by three syllables contained in Lalita. By the rest, the form of the Goddess is spoken of.

3. The universe is of the nature of ‘hrim.’1 But the mean­ing of it is kept secret in all Tantras.

4. By the letter ‘ha’ the nature of illumination and by ‘ra’ the nature of absorption are indicated. The letter indicates the reflection (Vimar^a) of both and by the bindu is meant the total identification.

5. The mantras are named Piruja, Kartari, Blja and Mala in their sequence. Some contain one syllable, two syllables, three syllables, ten syllables and four syllables.

6. The mantras are to be written in accordance with the metre as regulated by its number arranged in their proper order.

The entirety is of the nature of the Goddess and the last resort is of the nature of Shiva. The nature of the self is of the characteristic of both. One should meditate upon them by reciting the same.

7-9. In course of time, duality, misery, mental worry and the sense of desire will be destroyed. The Supreme I-ness, the nature of totality and the form of one’s self which is Being and Pulsation, free from all attributes and of the form of supreme light, the highest one, will flash one’s own self.

10. This being so, there is not a single letter which is not of the nature of a mantra. That is why it is always called vidya in every way.

11. This Vidya is exhilirating as the intoxicating liquor. It is the means of crossing over distress. I shall now tell you the precise preparation of it.

1. According to the verse the entire world is of the nature of the mantra hrlm. It is МйуЛ blja also called nada, prana, jiva, ghofa and hrltekhd. It is composed of four components from which originate vowels and consonants.

12-15. The liquor1 they classify into three types: Gautfl, Paish(i and Madhvl. Put jaggery in hot water and stir it well. The pollen powder of the flower dhatakl (grislea tomentosa) shall be put into it and the whole solution is kept in a glass jar. It is stored under ground but at dawn and at dusk the solution is stirred well with the hands. After a month is over when the sediments go to the bottom, it is filtered. This can be used for worship. This is called Gauc^I because it is prepared from Gu<Ja. Similarly, that which is got by adding honey is called Madhvl. О dear one, listen to the PaistI variety. Rice should be boiled slowly and cooked in two and a half times more water (than the rice).

16-17. It should be leftover for three days. Then the powdered sprout of the embylic Myrobalan is put into it. Keep this in an airy place for a day where there is not much of wind. Water is then poured into it and stirred well. This is then filtered. It is then called Paistika Madhu. Artificial liquor is prepared in two ways extracting from trees or squeezing from fruits.

18-22. Listen to the mode of its preparation. By its taste the mind gets repose. Bunches of grapes, or date fruits or the flowers ofBassia latifolia are put into water and boiled to half the original quantity. To this add a small quantity of distill­ed spirit and keep it undisturbed for two days. After filtering the same it becomes tasty and auspicious, worthy of being offered for worship. It causes full repose of the mind.

As to the second variety it is prepared from the coconut, Hintala or palm trees. The milk that exudes from the stalk of the fruit must be taken fresh from the tree. It is tasty.

Take the water out of the coconut fruit. Put a little camphor ther.ein. Take the juice of Arecanut half the quantity of the former. Mix both and keep it in the sunlight. This im­mediately becomes liquor which the gods are very fond of.

1. The verses mention three kinds of wines and state how they are prepared. In the Kularxtava Tantra we read eleven varieties of Asavas. They bestow enjoyment of worldly pleasures and liberation. The twelfth of them is called sura which is the best of ail, for it is most dear to gods. It is taken for Brahmajftana, not for worldly pleasure.

23. Or the devotee shall offer for the arghya to the goddess the liquor which has been mentioned here. It must be offered immediately which will be fruitful.

24. The aspirant while remaining in trance should drink it always restricting his diet. Never should a siddha drink it unless it has been first offered to the goddess.

25. It should be drunk until the mind is wholly absorbed in the Goddess. If he drinks more than that he shall become a sinner immediately.

26. He who drinks wine with wilful desire without serv­ing it to the god becomes a sinner. He should be punished by the king for he is the worshipper of avidya.

27. This is highly desirable both for the sadhya the goddess, and the sadhaka the worshipper. For the person who has become a Siddha it is prescribed in order to become identical with you.

28. The devotee with the previously-mentioned form should worship the deities of the above-mentioned forms. He should worship them in the proper sequence with the offering of wine, fish and meat duly consecrated.

The plant should be placed on the Sarvatobhadra diagram at the left of the deity. The vessel for the plant should be placed on an eight-petalled lotus. It is remarkable that the worshipper worships Rati, Kama, Anangat Manmatha, Vasantasakhd, Smara etc. Then taking hold of it with both of his hands he prays to Tripurasundari.

32. On the full moon day in the month of Sravana he should worship with holy flowers in the manner prescribed in the Agamas. On the full moon day in the month of Bhadrapada he should worship with Ketakl flowers or any sweet-smelling flower.

33. On the full moon day in the.month of Aivina, virgins1 should be worshipped and propitiated with ornaments, clothes and cash presents. On the full moon clay in the month of Karttika he should worship the virgins1 with saffron and with rows of lamps during the night.

34. On the full moon day in the month of Margasirsa he should worship with coconut baked pies and camphor. On the full moon day in the month of Pausa he should worship with cow’s milk along with sugar and jaggery.

35. On the full moon day in the month of Magha he should worship with golden and silver-coloured lotuses after making them fragrant. On the full moon day in the month of Phalguna he should worship with diverse materials of worship, fruits and fragrant flowers.
