Vijnānabhairava (Вигьяна-Бхайрава) - Недвойственный Кашмирский Шиваизм

Высшее Я как собственная сущностная природа

 Вступление

Привет, снова Габриэль Pradīpaka. Что такое Vijñānabhairava? Проще говоря, это одна из пяти главных Тантр, почитаемых в философии Трики. Всего в Трике особо почитаемы 11 Тантр. Среди них пять являются главными: Mālinīvijaya (также называемая Mālinīvijayottara), Vijñānabhairava, Svacchanda, Rudrayāmala (некоторые говорят, что Vijñānabhairava — это не отдельная Тантра, а часть этой Rudrayāmala) и Netra (также известная как Mṛtyuñjit). Абхинавагупта, величайший Учитель Трики, называет Vijñānabhairava: «Śivavijñānopaniṣad» (Эзотерическое учение о прямом познании Śiva). Śiva, очевидно, есть собственная «Самость/Высшее Я» человека.

Всего Тантры насчитывают 92 книги, но в Трике следуют только шестидесяти четырём Bhairavatantra-s (остальные 28, следовательно, не относятся к Трике). Они были непосредственно записаны Самим Всевышним «Я» (т.е. Śiva). Следовательно, ни один человеческий автор их не сочинял. Как правило, учения изложены в них в форме диалога между Śiva («Самостью/Я») и Śakti (Силой Śiva). Vijñānabhairava рассматривает 112 техник достижения Самореализации, т.е. Окончательного Освобождения. На первый взгляд, она выглядит как полезный справочник, полный методов достижения Высшей Цели, но это гораздо большее, как вскоре обнаружит читатель.

Это Писание очень трудно как переводить, так и понимать. Оно, мягко говоря, очень загадочное. Много лет назад я уже «частично» перевёл это Писание на бумаге, но так и не закончил перевод. Строфы Vijñānabhairava уже разбросаны по всему сайту, потому что другие Писания, которые я переводил, часто цитируют части этой Тантры. Так что моя задача будет даже легче, поскольку у меня уже переведено какое-то количество строф.

Многие вещи из тех, что я добавляю в свой перевод, не являются моим собственным изобретением. НЕТ, они взяты из знаменитого комментария, написанного Kṣemarāja и Śivopādhyāya. Иногда я также использую знаменитый комментарий Ānandabhaṭṭa под названием Vijñānakaumudī. А теперь приступим к работе!

Почтенная Богиня (śrī-devī) сказала (uvāca):

О Бог! (deva), я услышал (śrutam... mayā) всё (sarvam), что возникло из пары Rudra-s --т.е. Śiva и Śakti-- (rudra-yāmala-sambhavam). (Я также услышал) разделы Трики (trika-bhedam) полностью (aśeṣeṇa) в соответствии с (их) сущностью (sāra-vibhāgaśaḥ), исходящей из квинтэссенции (sārāt) --квинтэссенцией являются Писания Трики--. (Но) даже (api) сейчас (adya), о Всевышний Владыка (parama-īśvara), моё (me) сомнение (saṁśayaḥ) не исчезло (na nivṛttaḥ).

О Бог! (deva), какова (kim) действительно (tattvatas) сущностная природа (rūpam)? Состоит ли она из энергий множества звуков (kim... śabda-rāśi-kalā-mayam)? Или (vā) она содержит девять (реальностей) (kim... nava-ātma-bhedena) по отношению к форме Bhairava (bhairava-ākṛtau), согласно (шестидесяти четырём) Bhairavāgama-s (bhairave)? Или (vā) она разделена на разделы, (указанные) в Triśirobhairavatantra (triśiras-bheda-bhinnam... kim)? Или (vā) она состоит из трёх śakti-s, или сил (kim... śakti-traya-ātmakam)? Образована ли она Nāda и Bindu (nāda-bindu-mayam... kim), или (vā) даже (api) состоит из ardhacandra и nirodhikā (kim... candrārdha-nirodhikāḥ)? Утверждена ли она в cakra-s (cakra-ārūḍham... kim)? Или (vā) она лишена гласных (anackam... kim)? Или (vā) она обладает природой Śakti (kim... śakti-svarūpakam)||1-4||

परापरायाः सकलमपरायाश्च वा पुनः।
पराया यदि तद्वत्स्यात्परत्वं तद्विरुध्यते॥५॥

Parāparāyāḥ sakalamaparāyāśca vā punaḥ|
Parāyā yadi tadvatsyātparatvaṁ tadvirudhyate||5||
Na hi varṇavibhedena dehabhedena vā bhavet|
Paratvaṁ niṣkalatvena sakalatve na tadbhavet||6||

(Существует ли) sakalatva, или состояние с частями (sakalam) в случае Parāparā (parā-aparāyāḥ) и (ca) Aparā (aprāyāḥ), или (vā punar) Parā (parāyāḥ)? Если (yadi) это (syāt) так (tadvat), это (tad) противоречит (virudhyate) состоянию Para --т.е. Господства/Верховенства-- (paratvam). Paratva, или Господство (paratvam) вовсе не (na hi... bhavet) наделено делением на буквы (varṇa-vibhedena) или (vā) делением на тела (deha-bhedena). (Paratva, или Господство) наделено состоянием без частей (niṣkalatvena). Оно --т.е. Paratva, или Господство-- (tad) не существует (na... bhavet) в отношении sakalatva, или состояния с частями (sakalatve)||5-6||

О Владыка (nātha), окажи мне Милость --т.е. даруй мне Благодать-- (prasādam kuru me), (и) удали (chinddhi) полностью (niḥśeṣam) (моё) сомнение (saṁśayam)!

Bhairava (bhairavaḥ) сказал (uvāca):

Хорошо (sādhu), молодец (sādhu)! О Возлюбленная (priye), Ты спросила (tvayā pṛṣṭam) об этой (idam) сути Тантр (tantra-sāram)! О Благословенная (bhadre), (хотя эта тема) является самой тайной и сокровенной (gūhanīyatamam), тем не менее (tathā api), Я объясню (это) --букв. Я объясняю-- (kathayāmi) тебе (te).

Что бы (yad kiñcid) ни называлось (prakīrtitam) Sakala --букв. с частями-- (sakalam) формой/природой (rūpam) Bhairava (bhairavasya), это (tad) должно быть известно (vijñeyam) как никчёмное/несущественное (asāratayā), как сеть Śakra --Indra-- (śakra-jāla-vat), как сновидение Māyā (māyā-svapna-upamam) и (ca eva) заблуждение города gandharva-s --т.е. небесных музыкантов-- (gandharva-nagara-bhramam). (Sakala-форма Bhairava) была лишь описана (kevalam varṇitam) для медитации (dhyāna-artham) тех, кто обладает заблуждающимся интеллектом (bhrānta-buddhīnām), кто напыщенно исполняет ритуалы (kriyā-āḍambara-vartinām), (а также для медитации) людей (puṁsām), которые привязаны к vikalpa-s или ментальным модификациям --т.е. к мыслям-- (vikalpa-nihata-ātmanām)||7-10||

В действительности (tattvatas), Bhairava (asau... bhairavaḥ) не является ни (na) девятью (реальностями) (nava-ātmā), ни (na) множеством звуков (śabda-rāśiḥ), и Он (na ca asau) не трёхголовый Бог (tri-śirāḥ devaḥ), и не состоит из трёх śakti-s, или энергий (na ca śakti-traya-ātmakaḥ), ни даже (vā api) из Nāda и Bindu (nāda-bindu-mayaḥ), ни (na) из ardhacandra и nirodhikā (candrārdha-nirodhikāḥ), и Он не пронизан последовательностью чакр (cakra-krama-sambhinnaḥ), и не обладает природой Śakti (na ca śakti-svarūpakaḥ)||11-12||

Эти (etāḥ) средства для запугивания детей (bala-vibhīṣikāḥ), несомненно, для тех, чей интеллект не пробуждён (aprabuddha-matīnām). Всё то (sarvam), что было сказано (о Bhairava) (udāhṛtam), предназначено для (развития) склонности (к праведности) (pravṛtti-artham), подобно сладости матери (mātṛ-modaka-vat)||13||

Tadvapustattvato jñeyaṁ vimalaṁ viśvapūraṇam|
Evaṁvidhe pare tattve kaḥ pūjyaḥ kaśca tṛpyati||16||

Состояние (asau... avasthā) Bhairava --букв. Бытия Bhairava-- (bhairava-ātmanaḥ), которое (yā) обладает полной формой (bharita-ākārā), (есть) Bhairavī --т.е. Śakti-- (bhairavī), лишено понятий пространства и времени (dik-kāla-kalana-unmuktā), не может быть дифференцировано через место и характеристику (deśa-uddeśa-aviśeṣinī), поистине невыразимо (akathyā paramārthatas) (и его) невозможно (aśakyā) показать (vyapadeṣṭum). Это является собственным Блаженством внутри как переживание (antar sva-anubhava-ānandā), (а) его сфера деятельности свободна от vikalpa-s, или мыслей (vikalpa-unmukta-gocarā). Это (tad) действительно (tattvatas) следует знать (jñeyam) как безупречную природу (Bhairava) (vapus... vimalam), которая наполняет всё --или «которая наполняет вселенную»-- (viśva-pūraṇam).

Когда Высший Принцип таков (evaṁvidhe pare tattve), кому (kaḥ) следует поклоняться --т.е. кто является объектом поклонения?-- (pūjyaḥ), и (ca) кто (kaḥ) удовлетворён (этим поклонением) (tṛpyati)?||14-16||

Таково (evaṁvidhā) Состояние (avasthā) Bhairava (bhairavasya), которое (yā) прославляется (parigīyate). Это Высшее (Состояние) (sā parā) именуется (prakīrtitā) Высочайшей Богиней (parā-devī) в (Её) высшей форме (para-rūpeṇa)||17||

Поскольку (yadvat) единство (abhedaḥ) Śakti и Обладателя Śakti (śakti-śaktimatoḥ) всегда (sarvadā) сохраняется (sthitaḥ), поэтому (atas) Śakti (śaktiḥ) Высшей Самости --т.е. Бхайравы-- (para-ātmanaḥ) (есть) Parā, или Высшая (parā), потому что Она наделена Его --т.е. Bhairava-- качествами (tad-dharma-dharmitvāt)||18||

Kevalaṁ jñānasattāyāṁ prārambho'yaṁ praveśane||19||

Сжигающая (dāhikā) сила (śaktiḥ) огня (vahneḥ) не рассматривается (na... vibhāvyate) как отдельная/отличная (vyatiriktā) от огня (vahneḥ). Это (ayam) (является) лишь (kevalam) началом (prārambhaḥ) в контексте вхождения (praveśane) в реальность знания (об огне) (jñāna-sattāyām)||19||

Для того, кто вошёл в состояние Śakti (śakti-avasthā-praviṣṭasya), (имеется) созерцание (bhāvanā), лишённое разделения или отделённости (между Śiva и Śakti) (nirvibhāgena). Тогда (tadā) он (asau) становится (syāt) тем, чьей природой является Śiva (śiva-rūpī), (потому что) здесь — т.е. в проявленных писаниях— (iha) Она — т.е. Śakti— именуется (ucyate) ликом (mukham) Śiva (śaivī)||20||

Благодаря сосредоточению (bharaṇāt) на местах обоих источников —т.е. на сердце и на bāhyadvādaśānta или внешнем dvādaśānta (точке, расположенной на расстоянии 12 пальцев от кончика носа)— (utpatti-dvitaya-sthāne), (возникает) состояние Полноты —букв. «полное состояние»— (bharitā sthitiḥ)||24||

O Bhairavī (bhairavi), by means of the Supreme Śakti of (that) void (śūnyayā parayā śaktyā), he attains (eti) Vacuity --i.e. the real nature of Bhairava-- (śūnyatām)||39||

Due to the condition free from vikalpa-s or thoughts (nirvikalpatvāt), (there is) therefore (tatas) simultaneously (yugapad) an emergence of nirvikalpa --i.e. there is a manifestation of the State of Consciousness; yes, to translate again "nirvikalpa" would have been redundant-- (nirvikalpa-udayaḥ)||45||

(The result is that that person becomes) free from vikalpa-s (nirvikalpaḥ).

(After reflecting) in this way (iti), "All (sarvam) association or contact with pleasure, pain, etc. (sukha-duḥkha-ādi-saṅgamam) (occurs) through the indriya-s or powers (of perception and action) (indriya-dvārakam)", (and) after completely abandoning (santyajya) (such) indriya-s (indriyāṇi), a (natural) abiding (svasthaḥ) in the Self (sva-ātmani) takes place (vartate)||136||

Jñānaprakāśakaṁ sarvaṁ sarveṇātmā prakāśakaḥ|
Ekamekasvabhāvatvājjñānaṁ jñeyaṁ vibhāvyate||137||

--According to Kṣemarāja and Śivopādhyāya, "prakāśaka" (lit. revealer, manifestor, etc.) means "prakāśya" (lit. revealed, manifested, etc.), and in turn, "jñāna" (lit. knowledge) means "vedakātmā" or "the Knower"; certainly, without this arrangement the first part of the stanza would not make much sense--

Everything --that is, the multitude of things-- (sarvam) is revealed or manifested by knowledge --i.e., "by the Knower or Self"-- (jñāna-prakāśakam), (and) the Self (ātmā) is revealed or manifested (prakāśakaḥ) by everything (sarveṇa). Since their essential nature is one (eka-svabhāvatvāt), knowledge --i.e., "Knower"-- (jñānam) (and) knowable (jñeyam) must be considered (vibhāvyate) as one and the same thing (ekam)||137||

O Goddess (devi), he (saḥ) attains immortality and is not subject to old age (ajarā-amaratām eti), becomes endowed with the qualities of aṇimā, etc. --the supernatural power of becoming as small as an atom, etc.-- (aṇimā-ādi-guṇa-anvitaḥ), (is) the beloved (priyaḥ) of the Yoginī-s (yoginīnām), (and) the lord of all melāpaka-s --it refers to the Siddha-s and Yoginī-s who gather-- (sarva-melāpaka-adhipaḥ). He (asau) is completely liberated (vimuktaḥ) while living (jīvan api), (and) is not tainted (na lipyate) even (api) while performing (actions) (kurvan).

Japa (japaḥ) (is) the contemplation (bhāvanā) of the Highest State --of one's own essential nature; expected "parasmin bhāve"-- (pare bhāve) which (yā) occurs (bhāvyate hi) again and again (bhūyas bhūyas) --the contemplation is performed repeatedly--. In this (context) (atra), it --i.e., "the japa"-- (saḥ) (is) such (īdṛśaḥ) muttered prayer --expected "japyam" and not "japyaḥ", perhaps the text is corrupt-- (japyaḥ) (which is) the Nāda --divine sound-- (nādaḥ) itself (svayam) whose nature is the Mantra (mantra-ātmā)||141-145||

O Pārvatī (pārvati), the absorption in the Śakti or Power of Rudra --of Śiva-- (rudra-śakti-samāveśaḥ) (is) the (true) kṣetra or place of pilgrimage (tad kṣetram) since it destroys all sins (kṣapaṇāt sarva-pāpānām) (and) protects (trāṇāt) all (sarvasya) --to give the meaning, Śiva uses an acrostic of kṣetra: "kṣapaṇāt... + trāṇāt..."--. (This absorption is also) the Highest (parā) Contemplation (bhāvanā). Otherwise (anyathā), with relation to the Principle (Supreme which is totally Non-Dual) (tasya tattvasya), what (kā) (is) worship (pūjā), and (ca) whom --accusative plural case of "kā", as for example "devatā-s" or "deities", the commentary does not clarify this-- (kāḥ) does it satisfy (tṛpyati)?||150-151||

At will (icchayā), the prāṇa (prāṇaḥ) goes out (vrajet) (and) the jīva --i.e., the apāna-- (jīvaḥ) enters (viśet) in a curved form (kuṭila-ākṛtiḥ). She (sā), the elongated (dīrgha-ātmā) Great Goddess (mahā-devī), the highest place of pilgrimage (para-kṣetram), is Parāparā --Supreme-Not Supreme, that is, transcendental and immanent-- (parā-aparā). --In stanza 155 the Sanskrit is very far-fetched and does not respect concord, that is, one would have expected "mahānandamayyāmadhvarāyām", in feminine gender, and not in masculine gender, if my reading is correct... of course, this would break the meter-- The one who (follows) Her (anucaran) (and) remains (tiṣṭhan) in Her (asyām) —who is (like) a sacrifice consisting of the Great Bliss (mahā-ānandamaye adhvare)—, becomes absorbed (samāviṣṭaḥ) in the Goddess --lit.

It is indicated (that this is) (samuddiṣṭaḥ) the japa --lit. murmuring between the teeth-- (japaḥ) of the Goddess (devyāḥ), which is easily accessible (for the wise) (sulabhaḥ), but difficult to access (durlabhaḥ) for the ignorant (jaḍaiḥ)||154-156||

There is a famous additional stanza between 155 and 156 mentioned in some other versions, but not in the version with the commentary of the sages Kṣemarāja and Śivopādhyāya. I will call it 155-adhika (i.e., 155-extra):

Haṁsahaṁsetyamuṁ mantraṁ jīvo japati nityaśaḥ||155-adhika||

(The vital energy) goes out (bahis yāti) with the sound or letter "sa" (sa-kāreṇa), (and) enters (viśet) again (punar) with the sound or letter "ha" (ha-kāreṇa). The living being (jīvaḥ) constantly (nityaśas) mutters (japati) that Mantra (amum mantram): "Haṁsa, Haṁsa" (haṁsa-haṁsa iti)"||155-extra||

In this way (iti), O Goddess (devi), this (etad) highest (uttamam) Supreme Nectar of immortality (parama-amṛtam) has been mentioned (by me to you) (kathitam). And (ca) this (etad) never at all (na eva... tu kadācana) should be revealed (prakāśyam) to anyone (na eva kasya api), (particularly) to the disciple of other (philosophical schools) (para-śiṣye), to someone who is malicious (khale), cruel (krūre), and devoid of devotion (abhakte) for the feet of the Guru (guru-pādayoḥ). (All this should be revealed instead) to those whose minds are devoid of thoughts (nirvikalpa-matīnām tu), to the vīra-s --to those in whom the enemy called doubts has been extirpated-- (vīrāṇām), (and) to the unnata-s or eminent ones --i.e., to those in whom Śuddhavidyā (Pure Knowledge) predominates, in other words, the Absolute Freedom of Parabhairava-- (unnata-ātmanām)||157-160||

(This secret knowledge --here I follow the commentary of Ānandabhaṭṭa in his Vijñānakaumudī--) should be given (dātavyam), without any hesitation (nirviśaṅkayā), to the devotees (bhaktānām) of the group of Guru-s --of the series of divine Guru-s, Siddhaguru-s, human Guru-s, etc.-- (guru-vargasya).

The venerable Goddess (śrī-devī) said (uvāca):

O God of gods (deva-deva), O Great God (mahā-deva), O Śaṅkara (śaṅkara), I am (asmi) completely satisfied (paritṛptā). Today (adya), the essence (sāram) of the Rudrayāmalatantra (rudrayāmala-tantrasya) has been understood (avadhāritam), and today also (adya ca), the heart (hṛdayam) of all varieties of Śakti (sarva-śakti-prabhedānām) has been known (jñātam).
