| Valour is proved by protecting honour. It is not meant for bullying the meek and the humble. It should be used for performing deeds that protect the honour and person of those who cannot defend themselves. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| The Lord Siva resembles the (flowering) Arjuna tree with the jasmine creeper entwining it. He dances at dusk when the tree also blossoms (Sandhyarambhavijrimbhitam). He occupies the crest of Vedic wisdom just as Arjuna flowers find a place on the ears and heads of men (Srutisira-sthanantar-adhistitam). He is rendered beautiful by the presence of loving Bhramarambika (His Consort), and the tree by that of eagar honey bees (Saprema-bhramarabhiramam). He is always distinguished by reason of good men resorting to Him as the tree is by its good smell (Sadvasana-sobhitam). He has the kings of snakes as his ornaments while the Arjuna flowers form the decorations of noted pleasure-seekers (Bhogindrabharanam). He is worthy of being worshipped by all other gods, and the Arjuna flowers are laudable among all other flowers (Samasta-sumanah-pujyam). He reveals the qualities of Nature like Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, and the Arhuna flowers their colour, fragrance and other qualities (Gunavishkrtam). He is established as the Linga known as Mallikarjuna on the mountain Sriparvata (Srisaila), while the Arjuna tree stands on a beautiful peak (Srigirimallikarjuna-mahalingam). He is embraced by Parvati and the tree by jasmine creepers (Sivalingitam). I worship Siva who thus resembles the Arjuna tree and who is represented by his emblem known as Mallikarjuna established on the Sriparvata. |
