Origin & Story

Soundarya Lahari, Verse 99 · Adi Shankaracharya · c. 8th century CE

Near the conclusion of the Soundarya Lahari, this verse forms part of the phalashruti, the hymn's account of the fruits won by the Mother's devotee. It gathers together worldly blessings and liberation-in-life as the rewards of devotion and is set, like the rest, in the Shikharini metre.

✦ As told in scripture

It is said that sincere devotees of the Mother have been seen to gain the favour of Lakshmi and Saraswati together — prosperity and learning — and yet remain inwardly free, tasting even in the midst of the world the Supreme Bliss this verse describes.

Meaning:जो भक्त आपकी उपासना करता है, वह सरस्वती और लक्ष्मी के साथ विहार करते हुए ब्रह्मा और विष्णु के समान हो जाता है; अपने मनोहर रूप से वह रति के सुप्रसिद्ध पातिव्रत्य को भी शिथिल कर देता है। दीर्घकाल तक जीवित रहते हुए भी, बद्ध जीव के समस्त बन्धन (पशु-पाश) को नष्ट कर चुका वह भक्त इसी जीवन में 'परानन्द' नामक उस परम रस का आस्वादन करता है।
