Haṭha Pradīpikā 3.8
आदिनाथोदितं दिव्यम् अष्टैश्वर्यप्रदायकम् |
वल्लभं सर्वसिद्धानां दुर्लभं मरुतामपि ||8||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Taught by the primordial Lord (ādi-nātha-uditam | nom sg n ppp), divine (divyam | nom sg n), bestowing the eight supernatural powers (aṣṭa-aiśvarya-pradāyakam | nom sg n), cherished (vallabham | nom sg n) by all adepts (sarva-siddhānām | gen pl), it is difficult to obtain (durlabham | nom sg n), even (api) for the gods (marutām | gen pl).
This teaching is regarded as revealed by Ādinātha, divine, bestowing Siddhi, esteemed by the Siddhas, and difficult even for gods to obtain.
Brahmānanda explains the eight promised Aiśvaryas, extraordinary abilities, individually:
- Aṇimā: making the body as small as an atom.
- Mahimā: assuming extraordinary size.
- Garimā: becoming very heavy.
- Laghimā: becoming very light.
- Prāpti: reaching even what is far away.
- Prākāmya: realizing a wish without obstruction.
- Īśatā: controlling the arising and dissolution of the elements.
- Vaśitva: bringing the elements and their products under one's power.
They have been explained by Âdi Nâtha (Śiva) and give eight kinds of divine wealth. They are loved by all the Siddhas and are hard to attain even by the Marutas.
These were given out by Siva and confer the eight Siddhis. They are much sought after by all Siddhas and are difficult to obtain even by the Dévas.
Diese von Siva (adinatha, Text) verkündigten wunderbaren Uebungen, welche die acht übernatürlichen Kräfte (ashtaisvarya) verleihen, bei allen Vollendeten besonders beliebt und selbst von den Marut schwer zu erreichen sind,
Haṭha Pradīpikā 3.9
गोपनीयं प्रयत्नेन यथा रत्नकरण्डकम् |
कस्यचिन्नैव वक्तव्यं कुलस्त्रीसुरतं यथा ||9||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
It should be concealed (gopanīyam | nom sg n pfp) with care (prayatnena | ins sg), like (yathā) a jewel casket (ratna-karaṇḍakam | nom sg); it must never (na eva) be told (vaktavyam | nom sg n pfp) to any person (kasyacit | gen sg m), like (yathā) sexual union with a woman of good family (kula-strī-suratam | nom sg).
The teaching of Mudrā is to be guarded strictly, like a casket full of jewels and an intimate secret.
These Mudrâs should be kept secret by every means, as one keeps one's box of jewellery, and should, on no account be told to any one, just as husband and wife keep their dealings secret.
This should be carefully kept secret as a box of diamonds and should not be told to anybody, just as an illicit connection with a married woman of noble family.
müssen sorgfältig geheim gehalten werden gleich einem Juwelenkorb; wie über den Liebesgenuss mit einem Weib aus guter Familie soll man gegen Andere darüber nicht sprechen.
