| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Its form is not visible here - neither its end, nor origin, not its basis. Having cut down this firm-rooted tree by the mighty sword of non-attachment, that goal is to be sought after, attaining which the wise do not return again. I take refuge in that primeval Being, from whom streams forth the eternal creative Energy. |

| 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. |
