निर्वाणाष्टकम् : आदि शंकराचार्य

मनो-बुध्दयहंकार-चित्तानिनाहं, न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च घ्राणनेत्रे।
न वै व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुः, चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Mano budhyahankara chithaa ninaham, Na cha srothra jihwe na cha graana nethrer !

Na cha vyoma bhoomir na thejo na vayu, Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham!!

Translation:

Neither am I mind, nor intelligence ,Nor ego, nor thought,Nor am I ears or the tongue or the nose or the eyes,Nor am I earth or sky or air or the light,I am Shiva, I am Shiva, of nature knowledge and bliss.


न वै प्राणसंज्ञा न वै पंचवायुः, न वा सप्तधातुर्न वा पंचकोषः
न वाक्पाणि पादौ न चोपस्थ-पायुः, चिदानन्दरूपःशिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Na cha praana sangno na vai pancha vaayuh, Na vaa saptha dhathur na va pancha kosa !

Na vak pani padam na chopastha payu,Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Translation:

Neither am I the movement due to life,Nor am I the five airs, nor am I the seven elements,Nor am I the five internal organs,Nor am I voice or hands or feet or other organs,I am Shiva, I am Shiva, of nature knowledge and bliss.


न मे रागद्वेषौ, न मे लोभमोहौ, मदो नैव मे नैव मात्सर्यभावः।
न धर्मों, न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षः, चिदानन्दरूपःशिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Na me dwesha raghou na me lobha mohou, Madho naiva me naiva matsarya bhava !

Na dharmo na cha artha na kamo na moksha,Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Translation:

I never do have enmity or friendship,Neither do I have vigour nor feeling of competition,Neither do I have assets, or money or passion or salvation,I am Shiva, I am Shiva, of nature knowledge and bliss.


न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दुःखं, न मंत्रो न तीर्थो न वेदा न यज्ञाः।
अहं भोजनम् नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता,चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Na punyam na paapam na soukhyam na dukham, Na manthro na theertham na veda na yagna!

Translation:

Never do I have good deeds or sins or pleasure or sorrow,Neither do I have holy chants or holy water or holy books or fire sacrifice,I am neither food or the consumer who consumes food,I am Shiva, I am Shiva, of nature knowledge and bliss.


न मृत्युर्न शंका न मे जातिभेदः, पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्म।
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरुनैव शिष्यः, चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Na mruthyur na sankha na me jathi bhedha, Pitha naiva me naiva matha na janma !

न चासंगतं नैव मुक्तिर्न बन्धःचिदानन्दरूपः शिवोहं शिवोहम्।।

Aham nirvi kalpo nirakara roopo,Vibhuthwascha sarvathra sarvendriyanaam !

Na chaa sangatham naiva mukthir na meyahChidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Translation:

Another Simple Translation Which I liked:

I am neither the body, nor taste, smell or sight ,

Neither ears, nose or tongue, nor the ego or mind !

Neither ether nor water, nor earth, fire or air,

I am Consciousness-Bliss, Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Neither loathing nor liking, delusion or greed,

Neither knowledge nor pride, neither merit nor wealth !

Neither pleasure nor pain, doing wrong, doing right,

I am Consciousness-Bliss, Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Neither pilgrimage, mantra, nor worship or prayer,

Neither scriptures nor teachings, devotion or rite !!

Fear of death I have none, what I am has no birth,

I am Consciousness-Bliss, Shivoham, Shivoham !!

Neither mother nor father, nor friends are my own,

Neither brother nor sister, nor husband or wife !

Nor disciple, nor guru, religion or caste ,

I am Consciousness-Bliss, Shivoham, Shivoham !!

What I am has no form, All-pervading I am,

Everywhere I exist, beyond senses I am !

I am Nameless and Boundless, Unmoved and Unknown,

I am Consciousness-Bliss, Shivoham, Shivoham!!
