1008: Kriya is Not Sought by Bhaktas, Yogis and Jnanis
They who have been received by Lord in His Grace
Seek not Kriya Way;

They who are in loving devotion surpassing stand
They too seek not Kriyas.
1009: Seek God the Jnana Way
They know not to reach Him by Jnana Divine;
They seek Him by ways of senses, in vain;
If within you, you constant seek Him in right way,
You shall indeed be in Nadanta.
1010: Jnana Dispels Heart's Darkness
Light and Darkness together are in heart;
So does it seek Grace and Ignorance at once;
The knowledge within of Jiva is bereft of Light;
Except those who have Divine Jnana attained,
The rest despair of dispelling Darkness.
1011: Jnana Alone Leads to Union in God
Yourself Himself becoming,
And Himself yourself becoming
And with two none,
And as one Siva Becoming;

They with Siva one become;
They who seek Kriya,
May but Devas be.

1015: The Nine Sacrificial Pits are Blessed
To recount greatness of sacrificial pits nine is thus:
In sacrificial pits nine,
Will blaze the blessed fire;
In the sacrificial pits nine
Will arise all things goodly;
Thus shall I speak of sacrificial pits nine.
1016: Shapes of Sacrificial Pits

It is square shaped, pentagon shaped;
And hexagon shaped, triangle upon triangle made;
Other pits that blaze in fire, we later relate.
1017: Pervasiveness of Kundalini Fire
Breath through Sushumna coursing,
Kundalini fire blazed aloft;
Light on top emanated,
Pervaded world,
And engulfed entire cosmic space
That I saw in me, and sought within.
1018: Power of Sacrificial Fire
Becoming the Light within the Light
That from the sacrificial pit arises,
You attain the power,
To create and dissolve worlds twice seven;
The truth that is spread
Over extensive Vedas ancient,
I here state explicit
In one single book.
1019: The Sixteen Kalas are in the Sacred Fire
In the sacrificial pit thus formed,
The sixteen kalas luminous
Will sixteen points occupy;
Those who can see that Fire within
The broiling Pasas will not touch.

The Five Letters stand dancing in Fire
The humming orbs of Zodiac, twelve, will appear;
A resplendent Light it is
For those who seek.

The head and face will glow in a halo of light,
On the hand, Fire will appear if so they will
The glowing body trembling and shaking
Will give forth the shining Linga
Goodly indeed is worship of sacrificial Fire-pit!
Thus said Sakti Divine.
1022: Sakti Affirms Sacredness of Sacrificial Fire
"Goodly" She said, Our Lady of esteem high;
"That the Word" (Five letter), said She,
Who radiant from head to foot in tenderness stood;
They who do not ask of Her,
Though learned unto roots of learning,
Yet are in confusion distracted.
1023: With Fire in Pit Kundalini Fire Also Shot Forth
The sacrificial pit takes the shape of
Shining-bow and crescent moon;
The tongues of Fire shot forth
Unto mythical serpents from directions eight;
And Kundalini too with its petals four
In me flamed,
Filling my inside with radiant light.
1024: Sacrificial Fire Reaches Dancing Siva
The Fire reached Feet of Dancing Siva,
It flowed as water of worship at His Feet;

The Three-eyed Lord is Fire entire;
The Lord of self-same eye,
Engulfed universe entire;
With eyes in directions all,
He sees directions eight;

And for all lives everywhere.
1026: God Kanda Arose Out of Lord's Fire
Out of my Father arose six orbs of Fire
The six Faces before Him appeared;
The God Kanda in Him is intermingled;
And so is He His Son;
Thus do you in understanding connect.
1027: When Lord is Visioned in Ajna (Eye-Brow Center)
Within the sacrificial pit, that is Muladhara,
Arises the Vedic Fire that is Kundalini,
When controlled breath through Sushumna in unison flows,
The two petals in Ajna Center open;
Then with trembling hands
Folded into one they rise;
They who thus worship and vision,
Are verily Celestials of Light Divine.
1028: Lord is Light Divine
As goodly Light, He pervades worlds all,
Latent as sparkle in gem,
He is immanent in all;
For all those who sought Him as Light of Divine Word
He stood as beacon light on hill top,
And as the light within the eye too.
1029: The Hexagonal Sacrificial Pit Within
This sacrificial pit within
Is a hexagon of six Adhara formed;
In its circle Tattvas six times six,
Trembling arises;
With these Tattvas under your command,
You can ascend into very Heavens high.

Three His feet, Seven His hands,
Two His faces, six His eyes,
Seven His tongues, four His horns
Thus does He rise from the Sacrificial Fire Pit
He the one that no end knows.
1031: But He is Endless
For the Endless One, none the Space there is;
For the Endless One, none there to take measure;
For the Endless One, none the words adequate to describe;
Know the Endless One, O! you! "Ya" (Jiva)!
1032: Sacrificial Fire Outside Kindles Kundalini Fire Inside
Decagonal, octagonal, hexagonal and square
Thus are sacrificial pits shaped,
In them blazes fire
As unto a crimson lotus;
Center your thoughts,
The Fire within (Kundalini) pervades the body entire
As unto Siva-Sakti its tongues lapped.
1033: Form of Siva-Sakti in Sacrificial Fire
There, Siva with His consort Parvati appears,
Four the spreading hands,
Five the legs,
Ten the faces,
Ten the eyes
Two the flowery feet
Forty the shining crowns, and
Twenty-five the ears goodly.
1034: Kundalini Fire Blazes with Sacrificial Fire
Five His Faces
Five times Five the Tattvas He measures,
There is Sacrificial Fire Pit open,
That is of sides five;
And so it behooves,
For subtle Kundalini Fire to reach
The Lord that is in Divine Fire--Five-fold (Panchagni)
That verily is to attain Mukti.
1035: Seek Him Through Inner Fire
He is Mukti; He is Light goodly,
In the thoughts of fully learned
He is the Light fulsome;
They who seek Him, desires severed,
Through Light within
Reach the goal
And remain blemishless, ever after.
1036: Unite in Him Through Kundalini Fire
In that Fire Pit within
The Five Kalas of Siva aet;
The ten directions cardinal are there;
The Five elements too are there;
Those who warmed themsleves at Fire of Kundalini
Have verily united in God.
1037: Celestials Reached Lord Through Jnana Sacrifices

Verily merged in Him,

Feet two, hands two,
The nose shaped as letter "Ma"
The face as red lotus bloom,
The third eye in Forehead
Thus is Lord,
From Sacrificial Fire Pit arises;
Seek that Holy One within your head.
1039: As Sacrificial Fire Blazed High
Within the Fire the Holy One arose cherubic;
In middle He youthful blossomed;
As the Sacrificial Fire blazed thus,
The sphere of forehead (Ajna Center) broadened and deepened,
And there He was,
His Sakti tender as a vine.
1040: Sacrificial Fire Pervaded Macrocosm; Kundalini Fire Pervaded Microcosm
The Sacrificial Fire Pit spread
Unto Kundalini Fire across Chakras Six
And in two-petalled center (Ajna) ended;
The sacred Fire engulfed worlds seven entire,
From top to bottom unintermittent,
Those who witnessed it,
Have indeed gained all riches great.
1041: Hold Sacrificial Fire As Guru
The Fire that blazeth as riches great
Hold it as Guru Great to reach your goal,
When that Jnana dawns,
The regal powers over world
In earnest seek Jiva.
1042: Tender Kundalini Fire and Live Long7The Fire that rises and spreads everywhere
They seek not in truth and know not;
Those who have tendered it within their body,
Live long, long,
For ten million aeons, as it were.
1043: Kundalini Fire is Parallel to Sacrificial Fire
As in the nine sacrificial pits that transcend Time,
The Yogi in his Nadis raises the fire in Centers nine;
Even as the Seed of Birth trembled in fear of it,
So did the universe vast,
At the mighty yogic achievement.
1044: Shapes of Nine Sacrificial Pits
Of four sides unto Sadhanas four, (Chariya, Kriya, Yoga and Jnana)
Of three sides unto shape of fire,
Of semicircular shape unto the bent bow,
Of circular shape like a bore,
Of six sides unto Adharas within,
Of eight sides like earth's cardinal directions,
Of heart shape unto leaf of Peepul tree,
Of five sides unto letters of Siva Mantra,
Of oval shaped unto the the golden bowl
Thus of yore are shaped,
The nine Sacrificial Fire Pits,
Where you seek Lord Supreme.

The creation diverse, movable and immovable,
The elements five,
The quarters four of globe,

From among the Nadis three,
In central Sushumna,
In threadlike slenderness,

On Her feet She wears golden anklet,
That in rythmic music sings;
Thus She entered my heart,
And there slumbers.
1107: She Made Me Slumber No More
As I was steeped in slumber divine,
She, Manonmani, came,
And by Her be-bangled arms drew me close,
And into my mouth transferred,

And said, "No more shall you slumber, my son."
This, the miracle She performed.

She destroyed in me
All speech from ignorance arises.
1116: She Grants Mukti to Tried Devotees

Behind Mamaya's concealed Light,
She the Virgin that all created.

To the very marrow enters.

Now it is Her command (how long you live).

And into the Lotus in Sahasrara spread.

When the Lotus in Muladhara is roused,
The Lotus in Sahasrara blossoms.

Lady Great of honeyed-flower bedecked tresses,
That Grace confers;
Of muddled thinking they are.

There they were, the Vedas, ancient, seeking Her everywhere,
But this day,
She in me as Her Home
Reigns supreme.
1417: Lord Alone is the Refuge
He who has Her in the home of his heart,
He lacks nothing;
He who has Her in the home of his heart,
He begs not;
He who has Her in the home of his heart
He has peers none among Celestials even;
He who has Her in the home of his heart,
For Him is the Lord that nothing lacks.
1418: Jiva Chakra of 64 Chambers
Sixty and four are the instruments of enjoyments
That tempt Jiva,
Sixty and four are Kalas within Jiva,
Sixty and four are the Chambers of Jiva's Chakra
Sixty and four, where Siva Sakti are.
TANTRA FOUR ENDS
