| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord! Thou who art fond of residing in fortresses (Durga)! Take Thy residence always in the well-supplied fortress of my mind, having calmness as the moat, unyielding resolution as the surrounding walls, the rising multitude of virtues as the faithful army, the powerful senses located in the body as the gates, and knowledge as abounding wealth.
(There is pun on the word durga. It means a fortress and also Parvati the Divine Mother.) |

He who aimed an arrow at a stag.
