Shri Matsyendranatha Charitam Vol III Book IX Chp 21 Shlokas 17 - 25

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

इत्युक्त्वा बाष्पपूर्णाक्षः शङ्करो वैष्णवोत्तमः |

जजाप तारकं मन्त्रं देव्या सह निरन्तरम् ||

तत्रैव शफरी काचिच्चचार सलिले तदा |

तद्गर्भस्थोपि पुरुषः शुश्राव शिवभाषितम् ||

अचिरेणैव कालेन सुषुवे शफरी सुतम् |

नररूपं महात्मानं महायोगेक्ष्वरेक्ष्वरम् ||

मत्स्येन्द्रनाथो नाम्नायं शिवकारुण्यपोषितः |

कीर्तयन् तारकं मन्त्रं चचार भुवनेपि सः ||

अणिमादिमहासिद्धिमवाप्य विमलाशयः |

जपात्तारकमन्त्रस्य महायोगी चचार सः ||

जितेन्द्रियो विरक्तक्ष्च रामतत्वाविदां वरः |

स्वच्छन्दं सञ्चरन् लोके प्राह तारकवैभवम् ||

आकृष्य योगसिद्ध्यैव पामरानपि पण्डितान् |

प्रददौ तारकं मन्त्रं भवबन्धविनाशकम् ||

तस्य शिष्यो महात्मापि गोरक्ष इति विश्रुतः |

लोके प्रकटयामास राममन्त्रस्य वैभवम् ||

एवं तारकमन्त्रस्य जपेनैव निरन्तरम् |

सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नोति पामरोपि कलौ युगे ||

Shri Sadguru continued

Having spoken thus, Lord Shiva shed tears of great joy, and chanted the Taraka Mantra uninterruptedly along with Devi Parvati. During that time, a fish was swimming in the waters of the Manasa pond. A soul in its womb was listening to all the teachings of Lord Shiva. After the lapse of a short period, that fish gave birth to a human baby, who was a great mahatma and yogi. Brought up by the mercy of Lord Shiva, that great man, Matsyendra, trod the earth, always engaged in the kirtan of the Taraka Mantra. That yogishwara got all the eight Sindhis like Anima, due to the strength of his papa of the Taraka Mantra and led an infallible life. Leading the life of a celibate, he had a dispassionate and detached attitude. He was the greatest of the gnats who had realized the Rama tattoo. Wandering freely on this earth, he preached the glory of the Taraka Mantra. With the help of his yogic accomplishments, he attracted the illiterate people as well as the learned, and taught them the Taraka Mantra, which redeems all earthly bondages. Goraksha, an exalted personality and a disciple of Matsyendra, firmly established the magnificence of Rama Nama in this world. Thus it is clear that in this Kaliyuga, even a very ordinary person can have all accomplishments with the help of the Taraka Mantra alone.

Thus ends Chapter Twenty One entitled ' Shri Matsyendranatha Charitam' of Book IX of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal.
