| Power used without a leash can have dangerous repurcussions. A King has unlimited power in his hands. That is why he has to be very aware of his responsibilities. He must learn the value of humility to be able to wield his power wisely. |

| 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!. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Firm. Om sthiraya namah
Siva is firm while His counterpart Sakti is fleeting. |
