And this shaddarshnam was originally written in tamil by Raman maharishi .But Shri vashishth ganapati muni translated his work in poetic sanskrit and this sanskrit version called shaddarsashnam.

सत्प्रत्ययाः किं नु विहाय सन्तं

हृद्येष चिन्ता रहितो हृदाख्यः।

कथं स्मरामस्तममेयमेकं

तस्य स्मृतिस्तत्र दृढैव निष्ठा ॥ १ ॥

sat-pratyayāḥ kiṃ nu vihāya santaṃ

hṛdyeṣa cintā-rahito hṛd-ākhyaḥ।

kathaṃ smarāmas-tamameyam-ekaṃ

tasya smṛtis-tatra dṛḍhaiva niṣṭhā ॥ 1 ॥

Independent of something that exists within you, can you have notions of Existence? The Pure

Reality can be located at the seat of consciousness (known as the heart) within yourself when

the mind is free of thoughts. How is one to remember that One (Ultimate Reality) which

cannot be measured or cognized by the mind? By its remembrance alone, you will be seated

firmly in the Ultimate reality. [ Verse 1 ]

मृत्युञ्जयं मृत्युभियाश्रिताना -

महंमतिर्मृत्युमुपैति पूर्वम्।

अथ स्वभावादमृतेषु तेषु

कथं पुनर्मृत्युधियोऽवकाशः ॥ २ ॥

mṛtyuñjayaṃ mṛtyu-bhiyāśritānām

ahaṃ-matir-mṛtyum-upaiti pūrvam ।

atha svabhāvād-amṛteṣu teṣu

kathaṃ punar-mṛtyu-dhiyo'vakāśaḥ ॥ 2 ॥

In those who, due to the fear of death, take refuge in God, who is beyond death, the ego

disintegrates, before their physical death takes place. Therefore, how can the thought of

death occur again in those who are by nature immortal ?
