Lyrics and translation

Manobuddhi ahamkara chita ni naham             I am not the mind, intellect, ego nor consciousness
Nachashotre jiv-hey nachaghrana netre          I am not the ears, tongue, nose or eyes
Nacha vioma bhoomir na tejoe na vayu           I am not space, earth, fire or wind


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva


Nachaprana saugno na vã puncha vayu            I am not breathing power, the seven metals, 
Navah sapto dhatoo navaa puncha koshah         nor the five coverings
Na waak pani paadam nachapasta paayu           I am not speech, hands, feet nor the rectum


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva


Na me dvãsha rago na me lobha mo-hoe           I am not envy, anger, nor craving nor attraction
Mado naiva me naiva matsarya bhava             I am not arrogance nor pride nor religion, 
Na dharmo na chartoe na kaamo na moksha        wealth, lust nor liberation


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva


Na punyam na paapam na saukyum na dhukham      I am not virtue, sin, joy nor sorrow  
Na mantro na tirtham name daa na yug na ha     I am not mantra, pilgrimage, offering, nor ritual fire    
Aham bhoja namnaiva bhojyam na bhokta          I am not food, the eating, nor the one who eats


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva


Na mrootyur na shanka na me jaati bheda        I am not death, doubt, nor discrimination of cast
Pita naiva me naiva maata na janma             I am not father, mother or birth
Na bandhur na mitram gurunaiva shishya         I am not brother, nor friend, nor guru, nor aspirant


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva


Aham nirvekalpo nirakaara roopo                I am beyond concept, beyond form
Vibureviapya sarvatra sarvendriyani            I am all-pervading in all the senses
Sadame samatvah na muktir na bandha            I see equality in all things, I am neither liberated nor in bondage


Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham            I am eternal bliss, I am shiva
