Lyrics:
kathaṁ jñānam avāpnoti kathaṁ muktirbhaviṣyati
vairāgyaṁ ca kathaṁ prāptaṁ etad brūhi mama prabho

muktiṁ icchasi cettāta viṣayān viṣavattyaja
kṣamārjava dayātoṣa satyaṁ pīyūṣavad bhaja

na pṛthvī na jalaṁ nāgnirna vāyurdyaurna vā bhavān
eṣāṁ sākṣiṇa mātmānaṁ cidrūpaṁ viddhi muktaye

yadi dehaṁ pṛthak kṛtya citi viśrāmya tiṣṭhasi
adhunaiva sukhī śānto bandhamukto bhaviṣyasi
na tvaṁ viprādiko varṇo nāśramī nākṣagocaraḥ
asaṅgo'si nirākāro viśvasākṣī sukhī bhava

dharmādharmau sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ mānasāni na te vibho
na kartāsi na bhoktāsi mukta evāsi sarvadā

eko draṣṭāsi sarvasya muktaprāyo'si sarvadā
ayameva hi te bandho draṣṭāraṁ paśya sītaram

ahaṁ kartetyahaṁ māna mahākṛṣṇāhidaṁśitaḥ
nāhaṁ karteti viśvāsāmṛtaṁ pītvā sukhī bhava

eko viśuddha bodho'haṁ iti niścayavahninā
prajvālyā jñānagahanaṁ vītaśokaḥ sukhī bhava

yatra viśvamidaṁ bhāti kalpitaṁ rajjusarpavat
ānanda paramānandaḥ sa bodhastvaṁ sukhaṁ chara

muktābhimānī mukto hi baddho baddhā bhimānyapi
kiṁvadantīha satyeyaṁ yā matiḥ sā gatirbhavet

ātmā sākṣī vibhuḥ pūrṇa eko muktaś cidakriyaḥ
asaṁgo niḥspṛhaḥ śānto bhramāt saṁ sāravāniva

kūṭasthaṁ bodham advaitam ātmānaṁ paribhāvaya
ābhāso'haṁ bhramaṁ muktvā bhāvaṁ bāhyam athāntaram

dehābhimānapāśena ciraṁ baddho'si putraka
bodho'haṁ jñāna khadgena taḥnikṛtya sukhī Bhava

niḥsaṁgo niṣkriyo'si tvaṁ svaprakāśo niraṁjanaḥ
ayameva hi te bandhaḥ samādhim anutiṣṭhati

tvayā vyāptam idaṁ viśvaṁ tvayi protaṁ yathārthataḥ
śuddha Buddha svarūpastvaṁ mā gamaḥ kṣudra cittatām

nirapekṣo nirvikāro nirbharaḥ śīta lāśayaḥ
agādhabuddhir akṣubdho bhava cinmātra vāsanaḥ

sākāram anṛtaṁ viddhi nirākāraṁ tu niścalam
etat tattvo padeśena na punar bhava saṁbhavaḥ

yathai vādarśa madhyasthe rūpe'ntaḥ paritastu saḥ
tathai vā'smin śarīre'ntaḥ paritaḥ parameśvaraḥ

ekaṁ sarva gataṁ vyoma bahirantar yathā ghaṭe
nityaṁ nirantaraṁ brahma sarvabhūta gaṇe tathā

bahirantar yathā ghaṭe...
sarvabhūta gaṇe tathā...
