caṃdramā manaso jātaścakṣoḥ sūryo ajāyata ।
Moon from Mind was born and from Eyes Sun born.
Cosmos as boundless grace
Cosmos as time and space,
Cosmos as a webbed lace,
Cosmos, a gameplay place,
Cosmos’ with dark loved face
Cosmos does all embrace!
Sun, born from Cosmos’ eyes,
Sun, throne of honoured wise,
Sun burns all sins and ties
Sun, where the life force lies,
Sun, where powers rise,
Sun sans, all nature dies.
Sun Rays, a beam of light,
Sun Rays as Sun’s own might
Sun Rays as soldiers fight
Sun Rays hold power tight
Sun Rays show the path bright
Sun Rays restore age’s right.
Born of Eyes vigour show,
Born of Eyes, in pure glow,
Born of Eyes but all know,
Born of Eyes lessons stow
Born of Eyes with time flow
Born of Eyes detached grow.
Moon from Cosmos’ mind born,
Moon by great masters worn,
Moon as boon does adorn,
Moon to act selfless sworn,
Moon nurtures all lives torn
Moon makes nature reborn.
Moon Light but waves create
Moon Light but hearts vibrate
Moon Light heals painful state
Moon Light cares delicate
Moon Light fights against fate
Moon Light to end self hate.
Born of Mind kindness shares
Born of Mind without fares
Born of Mind sans all cares
Born of Mind own self bares
Born of Mind poison bears
Born of Mind endure tears.
Rays on Moon when does fall,
Rays to Moon when does call
Rays at Moon when does stall
Rays does Moon then enthral,
Rays for Moon but leaves all
Rays with Moon then stands tall.
Moon to Rays but traits teach
Moon to Rays calmness preach
Moon to Rays poise beseech
Moon then Rays inspire each
Moon of Rays soften reach
Moon with Rays dance on beach!
Sun and Moon a pair make
Sun and Moon balance rake
Sun and Moon for world’s sake
Sun and Moon when awake
Sun and Moon mix in lake
Sun and Moon then bliss take!
Moon devoid, see all burns,
Moon sans, no cold night earns,
Moon, for affection churns,
Moon, see heat to warmth turns,
Moon’s teachings all world learns,
Moon of hence all world yearns.
Hidden still in this song
Hidden as anchor strong
Hidden remains along
Hidden, all path way long,
Hidden sun, moon, among,
Hidden stays all lifelong!
Body as Cosmos stays
Body as Cosmos lays
Body in Cosmos’ ways
Body holds the Sun’s rays
Body holds the Mind’s glaze
Body is power’s maze.
Rays on Mind when trans-fix
Rays on Mind deep affix
Rays with Mind as one mix
Rays with Mind then love picks
Rays and Mind in One mix
Rays and Mind in Divine mix!
