शुद्धोसि बुद्धोसि निरँजनोऽसि
सँसारमाया परिवर्जितोऽसि
सँसारस्वप्नँ त्यज मोहनिद्राँ
मँदालसोल्लपमुवाच पुत्रम्।

“You are pure, conscious and taintless. You are not subject to the illusoriness of the world. Give up this sleep of delusion, this dream which confounds the mind.”

शुद्धोऽसि रे तात न तेऽस्ति नाम
कृतँ हि तत्कल्पनयाधुनैव।
पच्चात्मकँ देहँ इदँ न तेऽस्ति
नैवास्य त्वँ रोदिषि कस्य हेतो॥

“Why are You crying?
You are pure.
The name You have acquired is not yours.
Merely a mind-created fiction applied to You.
This body is not You, nor You of it.”

न वै भवान् रोदिति विक्ष्वजन्मा
शब्दोयमायाध्य महीश सूनूम्।
विकल्पयमानो विविधैर्गुणैस्ते
गुणाश्च भौताः सकलेन्दियेषु॥

The Lord of the Universe does not cry either !
This sound is an illusion attributed to you.
The qualities imagined as Yours are inherent in all the senses.

भूतनि भूतैः परिदुर्बलानि
वृद्धिँ समायाति यथेह पुँसः।
अन्नाम्बुपानादिभिरेव तस्मात्
न तेस्ति वृद्धिर् न च तेस्ति हानिः॥

The insignificant elements within the man acquire the condition of growth….. through the addition of food, and water..
It is not a growth or diminution of You.

त्वम् कँचुके शीर्यमाणे निजोस्मिन्
तस्मिन् देहे मूढताँ मा व्रजेथाः।
शुभाशुभौः कर्मभिर्देहमेतत्
मृदादिभिः कँचुकस्ते पिनद्धः॥

within the body shell. You remain constant.. Do not become confounded by the body which has been fastened upon You.

तातेति किँचित् तनयेति किँचित्
अँबेति किँचिद्धयितेति किँचित्।
ममेति किँचित् न ममेति किँचित्
त्वम् भूतसँघँ बहु म नयेथाः॥

“Father”
“Son”
“Mother”
“Wife”
“Mine”
“Not Mine”
Do not assign much significance to what is only an aggregation of elements.

सुखानि दुःखोपशमाय भोगान्
सुखाय जानाति विमूढचेताः।
तान्येव दुःखानि पुनः सुखानि
जानाति विद्धनविमूढचेताः॥

The deluded man thinks enjoyment of pleasures gives happiness.
The intelligent man, whose mind is free from confusion, knows pleasures and sorrows are alike.

यानँ चित्तौ तत्र गतश्च देहो
देहोपि चान्यः पुरुषो निविष्ठः।
ममत्वमुरोया न यथ तथास्मिन्
देहेति मात्रँ बत मूढरौष।

The carriage goes upon the earth.
The body is seated in the carriage.
The Self resides in the body.

The deluded Jiva thinks “I am this body”.
Foolish is such ignorance !

You are pure, conscious and taintless.”

The Lullaby of Queen Madalasa
