# "Dharana on (Shiva’s) Third Eye "

## PRAMANA

Śāstra Pramāṇa - शास्त्र प्रमाण

Sastra Pramana Source : Shiva Samhita (BA)-V.45

Original Verse : "शिरः कपाले रुद्राक्षं विवरं चिन्तयेद्यदा । तदा ज्योतिः प्रकाशः स्याद्विद्युत्पुञ्जसमप्रभः ॥ एतच्चिन्तनमात्रेण् पापानां संक्षयो भवेत् । दुराचारोऽपि पुरुषो लभते परमं पदम् ॥ ४५ ॥"

## Transliteration

"śiraḥ kapāle rudrākṣaṃ vivaraṃ cintayedyadā । tadā jyotiḥ prakāśaḥ syādvidyutpuñjasamaprabhaḥ ॥ etaccintanamātreṇ pāpānāṃ saṃkṣayo bhavet । durācāro'pi puruṣo labhate paramaṃ padam ॥ 45 ॥"

## Translation

"When the Yogi constantly thinks that he has got a [third eye](https://nithyanandapedia.org/wiki/Third_Eye.md) – the eye of Shiva – in the middle of his forehead, he then perceives a fire brilliant like lightning. By contemplating on this Light, all sins are destroyed, and even the most wicked person obtains the highest end."
