Verse 1
मनोबुद्ध्यहङ्कारचित्तानि नाहं न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च घ्राणनेत्रे ।
न च व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुश्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥
न च व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुश्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥
Mano-buddhy-ahaṅkāra-cittāni nāhaṃ, na ca śrotra-jihve na ca ghrāṇa-netre ।
Na ca vyoma bhūmir na tejo na vāyuś, cid-ānanda-rūpaḥ śivo'ham śivo'ham ॥
Na ca vyoma bhūmir na tejo na vāyuś, cid-ānanda-rūpaḥ śivo'ham śivo'ham ॥
"I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or memory. Nor am I the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. Nor am I space, earth, fire, or air. I am eternal consciousness and unconditioned bliss: I am Shiva, I am Shiva."
