| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Let the hymn of praise stop now. I do not tell lies. O Bestower of supreme good! Thy devotees like Brahma and others deem Thee as the first when they take a list of those who deserve to be praised. For, in estimating comparative greatness, they find themselves unimportant (lit, blown away), like a chaff of husk when rice is winnowed, and consider Thee to be the bestower of the highest of all rewards (ie, liberation). |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Universal Seer. Om visalakshaya namah
Nothing escapes His ken. |
|
