| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Thou Master of all souls! In order to protect the living and non-living beings that are within and without Thee, Thou didst neither swallow nor vomit, but retained in Thy throat, that terrible flaming poison (Kalakuta), which scared away all the celestials. Is not this one supreme act of service enough ( to establish Thy greatness)?
(The allusion is to the churning of the Milk Ocean by the Devas and Asuras, using the serpent Vasuki as the churning cord and Mount Mandara as the churning rod. In the course of the churning emerged the deadely poison Kalakuta, which threatened to destroy the worlds. It was only Siva who could swallow it and thus save the worlds.) |
