| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Let Brahma, the creator, be long-lived. May Thou be pleased to spare his other four heads. For, has he not awarded misery (to the lot of crreatures) in this world? It may be asked why one should wish him a long life for this reason. Indeed it is due to Him, O Pure One, that there is occasion for me to be saved by Thy merciful glance, which is naturally intent on rescuing the miserable. |
