          AtmaShaTkam , nirvANaShaTkam
          
I am not the intellect, ego, mind .  
Neither am I hearing, taste, smell, sight . 
Nor am I space, earth, light, air, 
field of consciousness.
I am the pure consciousness of bliss -
I am Shiva . Shiva am I . .. 1..

I am not prana, nor the five vital forces.
I am not the seven elements of the body,
or the five sheaths forming the body.
I am not the organ of speech, hand, foot,
the organ of procreation or excretion.
I am the pure consciousness of bliss -
I am Shiva, I am Shiva . .. 2..

I have nor attachment or aversion;
No greed or delusion, not envy or vain;
duty, acquisition, desire nor liberation do I aspire -
since I am the embodiment of knowledge and bliss -
I am Shiva, I am Shiva .. 3..

I am neither virtue nor vice,
Pleasure or pain that is experienced, no, no;
A chant, a holy place, a scripture 
nor the sacrificial fire;
I am neither the enjoyment, enjoyable nor the enjoyer
I am the embodiment of knowledge and bliss -
I am Shiva, I am Shiva .. 4..

There is no death or fear,
No one to distinguished by class or caste
No father, no mother, no birth at all;
No friend, no kith or kin, guru or shishya -
I am the embodiment of knowledge and bliss -
I am Shiva, I am Shiva .. 5..

I am Changeless, formless, enveloping all,
Untouched by senses, I am omnipresent,
Unfathomable, I am beyond freedom -
I am the embodiment of knowledge and bliss -
I am Shiva, I am Shiva .. 6..
