慧焰山·拉玛那
(Arunachala Ramana)
一位名叫阿姆利塔纳塔·亚提(Amritanatha Yati)的弟子,在纸上用马拉雅拉姆语(Malayalam)写下一首的诗,恳请薄伽梵明示,他究竟是毗湿奴(Hari)、湿婆之子苏布拉马尼亚(Subrahmanya)、雅提瓦拉(Yativara,即湿婆),还是瓦拉鲁奇(Vararuchi)。薄伽梵以相同的马拉雅拉姆诗韵在同一张纸上作答。其译文如下:
从毗湿奴开始,在所有众生的如莲花形的心源深处,都闪耀着纯粹的智慧(纯粹觉知),那就是至上真我(Paramatman),他也同样就是慧焰山·拉玛那(Arunachala Ramana)。当心因对他的爱而融化,并抵达他作为至爱所居住的心源最深处时,纯粹智慧的微妙之眼便会睁开,他将自显为纯粹的觉知。

In the recesses of the lotus-shaped Hearts of all, beginning with Vishnu, there shines as pure intellect (Absolute Consciousness) the Paramatman, who is the same as Arunachala Ramana. When the mind melts with love of Him, and reaches the inmost recess of the Heart wherein He dwells as the beloved, the subtle eye of pure intellect opens and He reveals Himself as Pure Consciousness.
