| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O my good mind! Worship the lotus feet of Siva that constitute the well-watered field yielding the valuable herbs of liberation desired by you - the field dor the attainment of which even Vishnu the husband of Sri (The Goddess of beauty and prosperity) and of Bhu (the goddess of earth), took the form of a boar.
(The allusion is to the Pauranika story of Brahma and Vishnu starting to find out the head and feet of Siva respectively. Brahma took the form of a Swan and flew up, while Vishnu took the form of a Boar and burrowed down. Both of them are said to have failed to find their goals.) |
