Maya Panchakam sthothram by Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||






‘Maya’/delusion is incomparable and eternal, it has no separate entity and absolute, it is a different kind of consciousness with a misconception that the supersoul/Paramathma and soul/Jeevathma is different, moreover the illusion has the capabilities to reveal the things happened which are unrealistic.



The illusion/delusion makes the supreme scholar who has profound knowledge in Veda and Upanishads to get attracted to wealth and riches, ultimately put them in intense dilemma and confusion like a creature with fifth sense.  It has the capabilities to reveal the things happened which are impractical.



The eternal bliss or a state of ectascy is impossible to mention as different from consciousness, the delusion with its device like the five essential elements makes the soul easily sunk into the waves of ocean of Samsara, and therefore the illusion has the capabilities to reveal the things happened which are unreal.



This illusion creates the sense of differences such as virtue, color and Varna in the supreme bliss which has no separate entity, it also differentiate as Bhramin, Vaishya, and it also cheer  numerous kinds of desires, ego, children, wife, possessions etc..  Therefore the illusion has the capabilities to reveal the things happened which are unreal.



This illusion differentiate the supreme bliss in to Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, in this way it confuses the intellectuals and scholars, therefore it has the capabilities to reveal the things happened which are unreal.



Nirupamanithya Niramshakhepya Khande |
Mayi Chithi Sarva Vikalpanadhi Shoonye |
Khadayathi Jagadeesha Jeeva Bhedham |

Sukhachidha Ghanda Vibodha Madhvadheeyam |
Viyadhaniladhi Vinirmithey Niyojya |
Bhramayathi Bhavasagare Nithantham |

Apagatha Guna Varna Jathi Bhedhe |
Sukhachithi Vipravidangaha Krithim Cha |
Spudayathi Suthadhara Gehamoham |
