Mano buddhya hankara chittani naham Na cha shrotra jihve na cha ghrana netre Na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vayuh Chid ananda rupah shivo’ ham shivo’ ham
Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na duhkam Na mantro na tirtham na veda na yajnah Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhokta Chid ananda rupah shivo’ ham shivo’
Aham nirvi kalpo nira kara rupo Vibhut va cha sarvatra sarvendri yanam Na chasan gatam naiva muktir na meyah Chid ananda rupah shivo’ ham shivo’ ham

Translation:
I am neither the mind, intellect, ego nor memory, neither the ears nor the tongue nor the senses of smell and sight, neither ether, air, fire, water or earth. I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
I am neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain, neither mantra nor sacred place, neither scripture nor sacrifice. I am neither the food nor the eater nor the act of eating. I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
I am beyond all things. I am everlasting, self-luminous, taintless, and completely pure. I am immovable, blissful, and imperishable.
I am without thought, without form. I am all pervasive, I am everywhere, yet I am beyond all senses. I am neither detachment nor salvation nor anything that could be measured. I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
