Origin & Story

Soundarya Lahari, Verse 2 · Adi Shankaracharya · c. 8th century CE

Part of the Ananda Lahari, the first section of the Soundarya Lahari, this verse continues the praise begun in the opening stanza by exalting the dust of the Goddess's feet as the support of the three great gods. It is set in the Shikharini metre and is among the most loved verses of the hymn.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees hold that even a particle of the Mother's grace, like the dust of Her feet praised here, is enough to accomplish great works; reciting this verse is said to draw that creative blessing into one's own endeavours.

The three represent creation, sustenance and dissolution. By showing all three depending on the dust of the Goddess's feet, the verse establishes that the Divine Mother is the ultimate source of the entire cosmic process.
