Reversal  of evil  propensities

By

Swami Vidhyaranya  , 12^th  Jagad Guru  of sarada  Peeta

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

प्रातर्वैदिककर्मतः तत्तदनुसद्वेदान्तसच्चिन्तया

पश्चाद्भारतमोक्षधर्मकथया वासिष्ठरामायणात् ।

सायं भागवतार्थतत्त्वकथया रात्रौ निदिध्यासनात्

कालो गच्छतु नः शरीरभरणं प्रारब्धकान्तार्पितम् ॥ १॥

1.Prathar  vaidheeka karma thasthadhanu sad vedantha sachinthayaa

Paschad bharatha  moksha dharma mananaath , vaasishta  ramayanath

Saayam Bhagawatharthaa   divya kadhayaa, rathrou  nidhyaasanaath

Kalo gachathi   nassareera  bharana, prarabdha  kantaarpitham

After  doing the Vedic  rituals in the morning, think about good  essence  of Vedic philosophy

Later   after reading the Dharma which lead to Salvation from BHarata  and Vasishtas Ramayana

In the evening readthe stories  of meaning of  BHagawatha and at  night do meditation,

The time will go not in ruling our own  body and talking  about the problems caused  by past Karrma

अज्ञानं त्यज हे मनो मम सदा ब्रह्मात्मसद्भावनात्

सङ्कल्पानखिलानपि त्यज जगन्मिथ्यात्व सम्भावनात् ।

कामं साधनसाधनाश्रम परिध्यानादजस्रं त्यज

क्रोधं तु क्षमया सदा जहि बलाल्लोभं तु सन्तोषतः ॥ २॥

2.Ajnanam  thyaja  he  mano api cha  sadhaa brahmathma  sambhaavanaath

SAnkalpan  sakalaan aapi thyaja jagan  mithyaathwa asambhaavanaath

Kaamaan saadhana saadhyadhu swa nivaha  dhyaanaadh ajasram  thyaja

Krodham  thu kshamayaa sadhaa  jahi balaath lobham   thu  santhoshatha

Sacrifice  ignorance, oh  mind by always  thinking of  existence  of Brahmam and  soul,

Give up  all sort  of imaginations and also the thought that world  was created out of imagination,

And also always give up the  endless  desires  where  one desire   was  createdby previous desire

Give up anger and show patience always, for absence  of  attraction of strength leads  to happiness

जिह्वोपस्थसुख सभ्रमं त्यज मनःपर्यन्त दुःखेक्षणात्

पारुष्यं मृदुभाषणात्त्यज वृथालापश्रमं मौनतः ।

दुस्सङ्गं त्यज साधुसङ्गमबलाद्गर्वं तु भङ्गेक्षणात्

निन्दादुःख अनिन्द्यदेवमुनिभिर्निन्दा कथा संस्कृतेः ॥ ३॥

3.Jihwo upastha   sukha sabramam  thyaja  mana, paryantha  dukhe  kshaath

Paarushyam mrudhu bhaashanaath thyaja vrudhaa laalpa sramam maunath,

 Dusangam thyaja sadhu sanggam  avalambaath garvam thu bange kshanaath

Nindhaa dukhaan ,nindhya deva munibhir nindhaa kadhaa samkethe

Leave  out the fancy of joy by serving the toungue, for within a second  it may become  sorrow,

Practice   soft speaking, give up needless  talk   and  try to   be silent,

Leave out bad company, depend on company of good people, the pride bursts  in a second

Finding fault  is sorrow, finding fault with gods and sages proves that finding fault is not civilized.

निद्रां सात्विक वस्तु सेवनतया स्वप्नं सदा जागरात्

रोगान् जीर्णसिताशनाद्दैन्यं महाधैर्यतः ।

अर्थानर्थ परिग्रहं च वृथा संसर्ग सन्त्यागतः

स्त्री वाञ्छां दोषदर्शनबलाद्दुःखं सुखात्मेक्षणात् ॥ ४॥

4,Nidhraam   saathvika  vasthu sevaka thayaa   swapnam sadhaa  jaagaraath,

Rogaan   jaeernam itha ashanaath  jahi sadhaa dhainyam  maha  adairyatha

Arthaan artha parigraham thayaja, vrudhaa samsarga santhyaagatha.

Sthree vaanchaam   thyaja   , dosha darsana balaath dukham  sukhathmekshanaath.

Avoiding long sleep and eating  SAthvika food, would make his imagination  in to realty,

Avoid diseases  like indigestion by eatingwell cooked  food and by that avoid feeling helplessness  and lack of courage,

Stop   earning   and having wealthby avoiding needless  association     with such people,

Leave out desire   for women, by wrongly  feeling desire , you will  only  fall in to gret  sorrow.

दारासक्तिमनादरात्सुतधनासक्तिं त्वनित्यत्वतः

स्नेहं मोह विसर्जनात्करुणया नैष्ठुर्यमन्तस्त्यज ।

औदासीन्य समाश्रयात्त्यज सुह्रुन्मित्रारि दुर्वासना

सर्वानर्थकरान् दशेन्द्रियरिपूनेकान्तवासान् जहि ॥ ५॥

5.Daaraasakthi  manaadaraath  thyaja , sutha danasakthim  thwanithyatha

Sneham moha  visarjanaath   karunayaa  naishtooryamanthasthyajaa

Audasinya   samasrayaath  thyaja   suhrun mithaadhi durvasana

Sarvaan artha karaan  darsendriya ripoon  ekantha vaasath  jahi

Remove  attachment from the mind, remove the attachment  to  son and wealth,

Give up love as well  as passion, give up harsh behavior  and have n mercy in you,

By depending  on  neglect  avoid   the bad habits  of friends and relatives,

Give up all money earning things,and ten sense organs, live  in  solitude,

आलस्यं त्वरया श्रमं श्रमधिया तन्द्रीं समुत्थानतः

भेद भ्रान्त्यभेददर्शनबलात्तां मिथ्यात्वतः सत्यताम् ।

मर्मोक्तिं निज मर्म कर्म कथया क्रोधं स्वसाम्येक्षणात्

आक्रोशं कुशलोक्तितस्य च मनश्छिन्द्यप्रमादो भयम् ॥ ६॥

6.AAlaasyam  thwarayaa  sramam  shamadhiyaa thandhraam   samuthaanatha,

Bedha branthi bedasana balaath, mithyaathmathaam   sathyatha

Narmokthim   nija marma karma kadhayaa krodham swasaamyekshanaath

Akrosam   kusolkthi thasya manaschindhya   pramadhaadh bhayam

Remove laziness  by  promptness .remove fatigue by relaxing  the mind,

The madness  of differentiation is truly    imagination,

The  trick of doing things is through humour but anger leads  to harming oneself

And those in whose thought  fear is there would be a screaming

भूतार्थस्मरणं वृथा भ्रम धिया प्राप्तं तु हानेक्षणात्

भव्यार्थव्यसनं सदा त्यज प्रारब्ध चोद्येक्षणात् ।

शिष्टाशिष्ट जनक्रियां वृथा च कष्टानुसन्धानतः

स्नेहाद्वेषमतिं सदा त्यज जनं भस्मांस्तथा संस्मृतेः ॥ ७॥

7.Bhoothartha  smaranam vrudhaa brahmaadhiyaa praptham   thu  hanekshanaath

Bhavyartha  vyasanam sadhaa  thyaja, manaprarabdha chodhya kshanaath

Sishtaa  asisishta   janakriyaam sthyaja   , vrudhaa  kashta anusandhanatha

Sneha  dwesha kadhaa  saadhaa  thyaja jane  bhasmanthathaa samsmruthe

Thinking about past  wealth  is a needless effort, for we will have what  is fated,

Always  leave out  the sorrow for  future wealth, realizing the  mental worries  are only for a second,

Do not bother about polite or impolite  nature of people, needlessly you would be  worried,

Leave out always   love and hate ideas , for people  know everything ends in ashes

अध्यात्मादि भवं सदा त्यज मनस्तापं स्वभावेक्षणात्

वैषम्यं समभावतः परकथा विक्षेपमक्षोभतः ।

धिक्कारादि भवन्तु दुःखमनिशं तद्योग्यता भावनात्

तज्ञातज्ञ शिशून्क्षमस्व कृपया कर्मक्षया ताडनम् ॥ ८॥

8.Adhyathmadhi   anubhavaan mana sthyaja, mahath papam  swabhave  kshanaath

,Vaishamyam  sama bhavatha, para  kadhaa vikshobham akshobhatha

Dhikkaradhi bhavam thu  dukhamanisam thad yogyathaa  bhaavanath

Thajjathaanyasucha  kshamaswa krupayaa karma kshayaa thadanam

Always leave out  spiritual  experiences, great sins are  by habit of short  durations

Getting   upset  , vision of equality to others  should never cause   great upset  nor  no botheration

The habit of contempt causes most of the time sorrow, for you may  not be eligible  for it

Please pardon  punishment by others for it may be  punishment  for deficiency  of your actions

आयुर्गच्छति पेटिकामिव जलं सन्त्यज्यदेहं जवात्

गच्छन्तीन्द्रियशक्त्योऽपि कुलटा यद्वन्नरं निर्धनम् ।

प्रज्ञां गच्छति धावदाह समये नीडं मृगीपक्षिवत्

ज्ञात्वा सर्वरमाश्रयमात्म पदवीं देह वृथा मा कृताः ॥ ९॥

.9.Ayur gachathi petikaa jalamiva thyakthvaiva deham javaath

Gachanthi  indriya sakthayopi kulataa  yadwannaram   nirdhanam

Prajnaa   gachathi   dhaava daha samaye srenee  mrugeenaam iva

Jnaathwaa sathwaram  aasryathma  padhaveem  deham   vrudhaa maa kadha.

Soul goes away from body like water   from a vessel   with a hole,

The power of organs   go away , just like a prostitute  leaves a man  without any money,

Power of discrimination     goes away like the deet   from the  forest in fire,

Understanding fast that body depends on  your  status with god , do not needlessly  waste it

धैर्यैरावत शान्ति धेनु दमना मन्दार वृक्षं सदा

मैत्र्याद्यप्सरसं विवेक तुरगं सन्तोष चिन्तामणिम् ।

आत्मज्ञान महामृतं समरसं वैराग्य चन्द्रोदयं

वेदान्तार्णवमाश्रयन्ननुदिनं सेवस्व मुक्ति श्रियम् ॥ १०॥

10.Dhairya iravatha  saanthi dhenu  dhama  san mandhara brindam    sadaa

Maitthryaad apsarasaam  viveka thuragam  santhosha   chintha manim

Aathma jnana  maha amrutham   samaras am  nairasya   chandrodhayam

Vedantharnvam aasrya anudhinam  sevasva mukthi sriyam

Couraga similar  to Airawatha, peace like  Kamadhenu. Sense organs  like the wish giving tree,

Friendship like celestial maidens  , wisdom like Indra’s horse, and joy like the  wish giving gem,

The great  nectar of self realization , truth of equality , the moon rise  of detachment,

Daily depend on this  ocean of philosophy and get yourself  salvation and prosperity

प्रसादाद्दक्षिणामूर्तेः श‍ृत्याचार्य प्रसादतः ।

दुर्वासना प्रतीकार दशकं रचितं मया ॥

Prasaada Dakshina murthyai sruthya   aacharya  prasaadatha

Durvasanaa  prathikaara  dasakam    rachitham mayaa

By the blessings of Dakshinamurthy and  by blessings of my guru’s words

I have  composed  these ten verses of (Reversal of evil propensities( Taking revenge  on bad inclinations  )
