Origin & Story

Soundarya Lahari (verse 4), attributed to Adi Shankaracharya · Adi Shankaracharya · 8th century CE (traditional attribution)

The Soundarya Lahari ('Waves of Beauty') is a revered tantric hymn to the Divine Mother, traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya. Its first part, the Ananda Lahari, describes the Goddess's supreme power and the Sri Vidya. In this fourth verse, Shankara contrasts the Mother with all other deities: where they must gesture protection and boons, her feet alone accomplish both, effortlessly and beyond measure.

✦ As told in scripture

The verses of the Soundarya Lahari are traditionally associated with specific yantras and miraculous results when worshipped with devotion. This verse, exalting the Mother's feet as the source of fearlessness and limitless boons, is cherished by upasakas who attribute to it protection from danger and the fulfilment of prayers beyond their expectation.

Meaning:O refuge of all the worlds, every other deity grants fearlessness and boons with their hands, displaying the gestures of giving and protection. You alone do not need to make such gestures — for your very feet, by themselves, are wholly capable of protecting from all fear and of granting rewards even beyond what one desires.
