| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord of all! Thou all-pervading one! Thou lord od Gauri! Just as the swan seeks the lake abounding in lotus flowers; the Cataka bird, the rain cloud; the Cakravaka bird, the sun; and the Cakora, the moon-- so my heart longs for the lotus feet of Thee who shouldst be searched for in the Upanishads and who bestowest the bliss of final liberation.
(According to the well-known convention in Sanskrit poetry, the swan subsists on lotus stalks, the Cataka on fresh rain drops, and Cakora on moon beams. So they long for these substances. The Chakravaka couples an separated during nights and long for sunrise. The devotee longing for the Lord is campared to the longings of these birds.) |
