| 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. |

| I worship Nilakantha, the blue-throated Siva, the peacock (also blue-throated) that excels by His beautiful dance, having the time of dusk as the close of summer (i.e, the beginning of rainy season when peacocks dance), the sound of drum beaten by Visnu's hand as thunder peals, the eyes of the celestials as lightning, the blissful tears of devotees as rain, and the Divine Mother Parvati as the peahen. |
