Vishvam Darpana Drishyamana (Dakshinamurti Stotram 1) PDF

विश्वं दर्पणदृश्यमाननगरीतुल्यं निजान्तर्गतं पश्यन्नात्मनि मायया बहिरिवोद्भूतं यथा निद्रया। यः साक्षात्कुरुते प्रबोधसमये स्वात्मानमेवाद्वयं तस्मै श्रीगुरुमूर्तये नम इदं श्रीदक्षिणामूर्तये॥

viśvaṃ darpaṇa-dṛśyamāna-nagarī-tulyaṃ nijāntargataṃ paśyann ātmani māyayā bahir ivodbhūtaṃ yathā nidrayā | yaḥ sākṣāt kurute prabodha-samaye svātmānam evādvayaṃ tasmai śrī-guru-mūrtaye nama idaṃ śrī-dakṣiṇāmūrtaye ||

The universe is like a city seen reflected in a mirror, existing within one's own Self, yet appearing — through Maya — as though it were outside, just as a dream-world appears through sleep. To Him who, at the moment of awakening, directly realizes this and knows His own Self alone to be the one non-dual Reality — to that glorious form of the Guru, to Sri Dakshinamurti, may this salutation be offered.
