Dvādaśa Stotra (द्वादशस्तोत्रम्)
Chapter Four - Nijapūrṇasukhā (चतुर्थोध्यायः - निजपूर्णसुखा)
निजपूर्णसुखामितबोधतनुः परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः। अजरारमरणः सकलार्तिहरः कमलापतिरीड्यतमोवतु नः ॥१॥
May the Lord of Kamalā, whose intrinsic form consists of perfect bliss and boundless consciousness, whose power is supreme, who possesses infinite qualities, who is supreme, free from old age and death, the remover of every affliction, and most worthy of praise, protect us. (1)
~~~
यदसुप्तिगतोपि हरिः सुखवान् सुखरूपिणमाहुरतो निगमाः। स्वमतिप्रभवं जगदस्य यतः परबोधतनुं च ततः खपतिम् ॥२॥
Because Hari is blissful even without entering sleep, the Vedas therefore call him one whose nature is bliss; and because the universe arises from his own mind, they call the Lord of the sky one whose nature is supreme knowledge. (2)
~~~
बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः। सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥३॥
Because he creates the richly varied universe in manifold ways, he possesses supreme power and infinite qualities and is supreme. But that supreme abode of his, whose nature is bliss, will always be for one who remembers him. (3)
~~~
स्मरणे हि परेशितुरस्य विभोर्मलिनानि मनांसि कुतः करणम्। विमलं हि पदं परमं स्वरतं तरुणार्कसवर्णमजस्य हरेः ॥४॥
For when this supreme ruler, the all-pervading one, is remembered, how could minds become impure? The supreme abode of unborn Hari is stainless, delighting in itself, and the color of the rising sun. (4)
~~~
विमलैः श्रुतिशाणनिशाततमैः सुमनोसिभिराशु निहत्य दृढम्। बलिनं निजवैरिणमात्मतमोभिदमीशमनन्तमुपास्व हरिम् ॥५॥
Having swiftly slain your tenacious and powerful enemy with the pure swords of a good mind, sharpened keenest on the whetstone of scripture, worship Hari, the infinite Lord who destroys inner darkness. (5)
~~~
स हि विश्वसृजो विभुशम्भुपुरन्दरसूर्यमुखानपरानमरान्। सृजतीड्यतमोवति हन्ति निजं पदमापयति प्रणतान्सुधिया ॥६॥
For he, most worthy of praise, creates, protects, and destroys the creators of the universe and the other immortals headed by Vibhu, Śambhu, Purandara, and Sūrya; he brings those who bow before him with pure understanding to his own abode. (6)
~~~
परमोपि रमेशितुरस्य समो न हि कश्चिदभून्न भविष्यति च। क्वचिदद्यतनोपि न पूर्णसदागणितेड्यगुणानुभवैकतनोः ॥७॥
No one, not even the highest being, has ever been equal to this Lord of Ramā, nor will anyone ever be, nor is anyone now equal to him whose sole nature is the ever-complete experience of innumerable praiseworthy qualities. (7)
~~~
इति देववरस्य हरेः स्तवनं कृतवान् मुनिरुत्तममादरतः। सुखतीर्थापदाभिहितः पठतस्तदिदं भवति ध्रुवमुच्चसुखम् ॥८॥
Thus the sage called Sukhatīrthāpada reverently composed this excellent hymn of praise to Hari, the best of gods. Supreme happiness is assured for one who recites it. (8)
~~~
इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्यविरचिते द्वादशस्तोत्रे चतुर्थोध्यायः।
Thus ends the fourth chapter of the Dvādaśastotra, composed by the illustrious Ānandatīrtha Bhagavatpādācārya.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
