In the West, they are liberal arts,
In the East they are intuitive sciences,
Liberating those who comply,
With Law Universal, which is all !
Sapta Mukta Kala Prabhavanti Tasmat,
The Liberating Arts Seven radiate from Thee !
As Thou Art the Perfect Artist,
In contrast with imperfect humans !
Thou art the Principle of the Highest First,
The Wealth of the Miser, Bride of the Lover,
Empire of the Emperor, the Scientific Mystery of Scholar,
Poems and literature of the noble, That Art Thou !
The Nihil of the Atheists, the Heaven of Meemamsa,
And the Cosmic Consciousness of the Yogin.
The Hippocrene, the Fountain of Poesy, of the Poet,
Also his Tri Knowledge, Trikala Vakyam Kavee !
Lubdhan Kanchanamayi, Yuvavu Vadhuvai, Rajavu Samrajyamayi,
Vidwan Sastra Rahasyamayi, Sahrudayan Sahitya Geetadiyay
Charvakan Poliyay Hiranya nariyay Memmamsakan Swargamayi,
Yuktan Yoga Samadhiyai karutham Asvabheeshtam Aneeswaran !
To the Gambler, lottery, stock exchange and jackpot,
To the reprobate, the sensuous pleasures of the mundane.
To the wine lover, the blessings of Bacchus,
To politicians, power temporal !
To businessmen, Wealth ad infinitum,
To the Agnostic, the Unknown!
But the best definition is that Thou art the Poet,
For, only Thee is qualified for Foreknowledge !
The Universe is Poetry in Motion,
And can only be authored by A Poet Great !
For that Post, only Thou qualifiest,
Trikaljnatvam Kavitvam !
Kaveem Puranam anusasi tara
Anoraneeyan Samanusmaredya
Sarvasyaadhataram Achintya Roopa,
Aditya varna tamasa parasthat.
( The Song Celestial )
Situated in the body chariot, with Mind as reins,
With horses five as the five organs of sense,
With Dharma and Adharma as wheels,
Thou grantest Victory in the inner War.
Deha theril irunnu kondu satatam,
thal jnana karmedriya
vyoohathil kadinjan pidicha sakhiyam
Jeeatma Gandeeviye
Moham thotta ripukkalodu poruthum
poril jayicheeduvan,
Sneham kondu thunachidunna
Paramatmavanu Sarveshwaran !
When the Poets saw Thee,
They saw the Universe !
Vedaham mekam Purusham Mahantam
Aditya varna Thamasa Parasthat !
To the Nameless Thee are attributed,
Three Hidden Names ( Existence, Consciousness, Beatitude )
Connecting the Hemispheres, Lower and Upper,
Is Supermind, Thy Fourth Name !
Actually Thou hast three more !
The Lower Trilogy ( Life, Mind and Matter) are Thee !
The Realisation of Thy Septuple Name,
Through Evolution is Thy Purpose Noble !
With Thyelf alone existing,
Thou Art the Play and the Player,
Creating Thyself in Thyself,
For the sheer Bliss of that Self Creation !
For sheer Self Delight, Rasa,
Savants defined Thee Raso Vai Sah !
The Bliss of Atma Rathi, said they,
Is thousand times greater than Rathi !
Paripoorna Rasa,
Kshudra Rasebhyo,
Maidhunebhyo,
Bhagavat Rathi !
Thy Noblest and blest Bhakti,
Is the greatest Bliss,
The Bliss which accrueth from Bhakti,
Is unparalleled !
