English Meaning :

I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or memory; nor am I the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. I am not the ether, earth, fire, or air. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I am not the vital breath, nor the five vital airs; nor am I the seven constituent elements or the five sheaths. I am not speech, hands, feet, or the excretory and reproductive organs. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I have no aversion or attachment, neither greed nor delusion; I have no pride or jealousy. I have no duty, no wealth, no desire, nor liberation. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I have no merit or sin, no pleasure or pain; I need no mantras, pilgrimages, scriptures, or rituals. I am neither the food, nor the eater, nor the act of eating. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I have no death or fear, no distinction of caste; I have no father or mother, nor was I ever born. I have no relatives, no friends, no guru, nor disciple. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I am without any variations, without any form; I am present everywhere, pervading all the senses. I am neither attached, nor free, nor in need of anything. I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

Thus ends the Nirvana Shatkam, composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
