Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
Not even a little of happiness is obtained by the worship of deities who are themselves subject to birth and death. There is no doubt about this. They are the great, and they, indeed, are the happy, that worship Siva (who is united with the Divine Mother), and who is birthless and deathless.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Mighty. Om balaviraya namah The destruction of the triple fort took place by the mighty power of Siva.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
