| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| I am not proficient in the law codes or the philosophies, in medicine or augury, in poetry or music, in ancient lores(Puranas) or mystic chants, panegyrics, histrionics of buffoonery. How then can kings be pleased with me? And who, after all, am I? Ignorant as I am like a beast (or, in the alternative, the ignorant soul that I am), save me O Lord! out of Thy far-famed mercy, Thou all-knowing and all-pervading One!. |
