(Then enters Nididhyaasana/contemplation)
NIDIDHYAASANA-
“I have been ordered by Goddess VishnuBhakti. I
should secretly reveal my opinion to Viveka and Upanishat; and that I should
remain with the Purusha.
(looking)
Devi is sitting not far from Viveka and Purusha. I
will approach her.
(approaches her and whispers secretly)
Devi VishnuBhakti has mentioned that Goddesses can
get children by just willing. ‘Through my Yogic power I know that you are
pregnant. A cruel daughter named Vidyaa (Knowledge) resides in your womb and
also Prabodhodaya (Rise of Awakening). By the power of Sankarsha (attraction) you
send her off to the mind. Offer PrabodhaChandra (Moon of Awakening) to Purusha
and come off to me with my son Viveka.’”
UPANISHAT-
“As the Goddess commands!”
{When the realization occurs, there is no more the
need for Viveka or Upanishat. The ensuing knowledge (Vidyaa) completely destroys
the mind and the Purusha remains in his true nature as the Self.}
(Upanishat leaves with Viveka)
(behind the screen) (“Amazing! Amazing!”)
{VIDYAA AND
PRABODHA-CHANDRA ARE BORN}
उद्धामद्युतिदामभिस्तडिदिव प्रद्योतयन्ती दिशः प्रत्यग्रस्फुटदुत्कटास्थि मनसो
निर्भिद्य वक्षःस्थलं
कन्येयं सहसा समं परिकरैर्मोऽहं
ग्रसन्ती भजत्यन्तर्धानमुपैति चैकपुरुषं
श्रीमान्प्रबोधोदयः [28]
“Lighting up all the
directions
with unrestrained
flashes of luster resembling the lightning streaks,
shattering the chest
of the mind with the hardened bones bursting every moment,
this girl (Vidyaa) is
capturing Moha along with his assistants,
and vanishing away.
The noble Prabodhodaya
is approaching Purusha.”
{Vidyaa destroys the mind and Purusha is awake in
the state of Brahman.}
(Enters Prabodhodaya)
PRABODHODAYA-
किमवाप्तं किमपोहितं किमुदितं
किं वा समुत्सारितं
स्यूतं किं नु विलायितं नु
किमिदं किञ्चिन्न वा किञ्चन
यस्मिन्नभ्युदिते वितर्कपदवीं
नैवं समारोहति
त्रैलोक्यं सहजप्रकाशदलितं
सोsहं प्रबोधोदयः [29]
“What has been attained!
What has been lost?
What has risen?
What has been
discarded?
What has been woven?
What has dissolved
off?
Is this something or
not anything at all?
By whose appearance
the tri-world does not
ever ascend the state of such doubtful arguments,
I am that Prabodhodaya
(Rise of the Awakening)
by whose natural shine
darkness dissolves off!
(moves)
This is Purusha. I will approach him.
(approaches)
Lord! I, PrabodhaChandrodaya salute you.”
PURUSHA- (excited)
“Come, my son! Embrace me!”
(Prabodhodaya does so)
PURUSHA- (happily)
“Aha! Early morning has arrived breaking the
screen of darkness.
As it is-
मोहान्धकारमवधूय विकल्पनिद्रामुन्मथ्य
कोsप्यजनि बोधतुषाररश्मिः
श्रद्धाविवेकमतिशान्तियमादिकेन
विश्वात्मकः स्फुरति विष्णुरहं स एषः [30]
Destroying the
darkness of delusion,
completely crushing
away the sleep of misconceptions,
along with Shraddhaa, Viveka,
Mati, Shaanti, Yama and others
some unique moonlight
of enlightenment,
the essence of the
entire world, Vishnu is manifesting.
I am He!
By the grace of VishnuBhakti I have attained
fulfillment.
That I-
सङ्गं न केनचिदुपेत्य किमप्यपृच्छन्
गच्छन्नतर्कितफलं विदिशं दिशं वा
शान्तो व्यपेतभयशोककषायमोहः
स्वायंभुवो मुनिरहं भवितास्मि
सद्यः [31]
Not seeking the
company of anyone, not questioning anything,
without bothering
about any fruit to be attained,
moving towards not any
direction or non-direction,
remaining in the
quiescent state,
having got rid of
fear, sadness, the colors of attachment and hatred, and delusion,
I will now become the
Sage who is Self-born (ever-liberated).”
(Enters VishnuBhakti)
VISHNUBHAKTI- (happily approaches)
“After a long time, all my wishes are fulfilled. I
see you now with all enemies destroyed.”
PURUSHA-
“What is difficult when the grace of the Goddess
VishnuBhakti is there!”
(falls at her feet and salutes)
VISHNUBHAKTI- (lifts up Purusha)
“Get up, son! What else shall I do for you to
please you?”
PURUSHA-
“What is more pleasing than this?
Because-
प्रशान्तारातिरगमद्विवेकः
कृतकृत्यतां
नीरजस्के सदानन्दे पदे चाहं
निवेशित: [32]
Viveka has destroyed all the enemies and
has attained fulfillment.
I am established in the state of eternal
bliss bereft of any taint.
Even then let this be there.
(BHARATA-VAAKYAM)
{Bharata Vaakya- Benediction verse recited at the end of the play;
named so to honor the founder of the dramatic science Sage Bharata.}
पर्जन्योsस्मिञ्जगति महतीं वृष्टिमिष्टां विधत्तां
राजानः क्षमां गलितविविधोपप्लवाः
पालयन्तु
हत्वोन्मेषोपहततमसस्त्वत्प्रसादान्महान्तः
संसाराब्धिं विषयममतातङ्कपङ्कं
तरन्तु [33]
Let
the thundering clouds pour heavy rains as much as wanted by all.
Let
the kings rule the earth having got rid of all problems.
Let
all the people be freed of the darkness of delusion in a second by your grace,
and
cross over the ocean
of Samsaara
arising
out of the sense objects and the mine-ness attached to the objects.”
