| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord of Uma! Granted that plenty of ingredients of worship have been secured. How can I, even then, perform Thy worship? For I have not acquired the form of a bird(i.e. of swan) or of a boar (like Brahma and Vishnu, who, assuming these forms, went in search of Thy head and feet respectively but failed to reach them). So, O all-pervading one, I do not know Thy head or feet. Indeed, even Brahma and Vishnu who assumed these forms, did not in truth know them. |

Om atrya namaskartre namah
