| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Since Thou holdest the golden mountain (Meru) in Thy hand (as the bow); since Kubera, the lord of wealth, remains close to Thee; since the wish-yielding tree of heaven Kalpataru, the celestial cow of plenty Kamadhenu, and the magic gem that confers all desires (Cintamani) are in Thy household; since the moon resides on Thy head; and since all auspiciousness abides at Thy feet- what object of value can I possibly offer unto Thee? Therefore, O Thou resident of the mountain, let my mind be Thine (as the only thing that can be dedicated to Thee). |
