Śaraṇaṃ
English Translation
You will find where my presence does lay
In ardent devotion when you stay
This is the essence of my words, hear,
Another aspect do listen here.
O’ son, as I have ordained for you
Those all you shall get for sure, construe,
At the time when you shall but meet me
You shall gain traits of divinity.
O’ son, this is but not my order,
Giving specified orders here
Do know that I have stopped in this age,
Now, I only speak of my knowledge.
These orders in this ignorant age –
No one takes them to completion stage.
Hence by act of giving an order
Why a devotee into sinner –
Should I turn? Thus, I now convey here,
Hence without giving any order –
Instead I just explain everything
By this action of knowledge sharing,
And I say all these things that you hear
Thus remains the content as is here.
At my place, o’ son, none see sprawl –
Conspiracy, hypocrisy, all,
Only Truth’s expressive following –
But you should be endlessly doing,
Truth has truthfully my own essence
Truth is pure, clear, in its appearance,
Truth I examine if in you bear,
Truth, hence, as the clothing you must wear.
Truth in Truth you must strive to add on
Truth you must not ever leave alone
Truth you tightly hold onto, o’ son,
Truth possesses great firmness alone
Truth is where but I sit forever
Truth is me, the ardour insister.
Truth if you want to experience
Truth you must care about thence
Truth’s follower then you becoming
Truth’s very practise you keep doing
These verses are but Truth’s expression
Truth’s clothes you today putting on –
O’ son do as is this great action
I, here, now, give you this suggestion.
More as is to be meant for you, son,
See left is no more revelation,
These divine phrases to you giving –
I, the Supreme, thus am now leaving.
Amen
Disclaimer:
The Divine Revelations extracted and presented here in their original and uncorrupted form have made heavy incorporation of Chanda (Poetic Metre and Crypt), have multiple meanings and ingrain deep symbolism which make them very difficult to understand. While the same Sūkti (Divine Revelation) may also be understood and interpreted differently by different seekers and teachers of Spiritualism, all paths lead to the same goal towards realisation of Brahma (the Ultimate Truth).
The above Translation is a humble attempt by members of Hari Parivār to interpret and explain the original extraction in context of the Supreme Lord Jagannātha’s prescribed path of Bhāva (Ardour), Bhakti (Devotion) and Prema (Love).
