Song On God Datta - Janma sthiti laya mulam Datta

जन्म स्थिति लय मूलं दत्त!
सामान्यमिदं ब्रह्मणस्ते ।। (पल्लवी)
Janma sthiti laya mūlaṃ Datta!
Sāmānyamidaṃ Brahmaṇaste ।। (Pallavī)

(O God Datta! the creation, maintenance and destruction of this world is told commonly to Īśvara (Yourself) and Brahman.)

वेदे द्विधा सूत्रे ब्रह्म,
गीतायां त्व मीश उक्तः ।।
Vede dvidhā sūtre Brahma,
Gītāyāṃ tva Mīśa uktaḥ ।।

(In the Veda, both Brahma and Īśvara are mentioned. In the Brahma Sūtrams only, Brahma is mentioned. In the Gītā only Īśvara (Yourself) is mentioned.)

{In the Veda, both Brahma and Īśvara are mentioned as creator, maintainer and destroyer of this world—Yatovā imāni..., Sa idam.... In the Brahma Sūtram—Athāto Brahma Jijñāsā, janmādyasya.... In the Gītā—Ahaṃ Sarvasya Jagataḥ Prabhavaḥ Pralayaḥ tathā, Mayi sarvamidaṃ protam....}

एतस्मात् त्वं नोह्यं ब्रह्म,
सोपाधिस्त्वं निरुपधिः तत्तु ।।
Etasmāt tvaṃ nohyaṃ Brahma,
Sopādhistvaṃ nirupadhiḥ Tattu ।।

(Therefore, You are the unimaginable God or ParaBrahman. You are the mediated ParaBrahman whereas ParaBrahman is non-mediated.)

लिङ्गत्रय मस दनूह्य तत्त्वे,
शाक्तेयोऽपि वेदान्ती हि ।।
Liṅgatraya masa danūhya Tattve,
Śākteyo'pi Vedāntī hi ।।

(In the unimaginable ParaBrahman, all the three genders are impossible. Hence, unimaginable God or unimaginable power of God can’t be isolated. Therefore, the Śākteya (the devotee of power or Śakti) and Vedāntin (the devotee of possessor of power) are one and the same.)
