Tvam Svaha Tvam Svadha (Brahma's Stuti to Yoganidra) — Complete Lyrics
त्वं स्वाहा त्वं स्वधा (ब्रह्मकृत योगनिद्रा स्तुति)
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
ब्रह्मोवाच
त्वं स्वाहा त्वं स्वधा त्वं हि वषट्कारः स्वरात्मिका ।
सुधा त्वमक्षरे नित्ये त्रिधा मात्रात्मिका स्थिता ॥
brahmovāca
tvaṃ svāhā tvaṃ svadhā tvaṃ hi vaṣaṭkāraḥ svarātmikā
sudhā tvamakṣare nitye tridhā mātrātmikā sthitā
Brahma said: You are Svaha and Svadha; you are indeed the Vashatkara, the very soul of sound. You are the nectar Sudha, O eternal, imperishable One; you abide as the three matras of Om, and as the eternal half-matra that cannot be separately uttered. You yourself are the Sandhya, the Savitri, the supreme Mother of the gods, O Goddess. By you this universe is upheld, by you this world is created; by you it is sustained, O Goddess, and you ever devour it at the end. At creation you take the form of creation, in protection the form of sustenance, and at the world's end the form of dissolution, O you who are the world itself. You are the Mahavidya, Mahamaya, Mahamedha and Mahasmriti; you are the Mahamoha, the Mahadevi, the Maheshwari. You are Shri, you are Ishwari, you are Hri, you are the intellect marked by inner awakening; you are modesty, nourishment and contentment, tranquillity and forbearance. You are the supreme of the high and the low; you alone are the Supreme Sovereign. And whatever thing exists anywhere, real or unreal, O soul of all — of all that you are the Power; how then can I praise you fully? Delude these two unassailable asuras, Madhu and Kaitabha, and let the Lord of the world, the unfallen Vishnu, be quickly brought to waking.
