Shankara Jayanti

[Anand Hudli]

 Remembering Shankara BhagavatpAda,

 jaya bhagavan.h jaya shaMkara vidyAkalpataro |
 nirmathitashrutisAgara jaya jaya bhagavanguro ||

 May BhagavAn Shankara, the Guru (of the world), the wish
 fulfiling tree of knowledge, One who churned the ocean
 of Shruti (to extract the essence), be victorious.

 shrutishirasastattvAnAmekastvaM vettA |
 parapaxANAM paviriva viditastvaM bhettA |
 saMshIteryuktibaladekastvaM chhettA |
 tvadbhAShyAmR^itapushhTaH ko nu janaH khettA ||

 (O Shankara BhagavatpAda!) Only You know the truths of VedAnta;
 You know how to break the arguments of other philosophies like
 thunderbolt (breaks things); only You can dispel doubts with sound
 reasoning. How is it possible for anyone who is nourished with the
 nectar of Your bhAshhya's to be sorrowful?

 jaya bhagavan.h jaya shaMkara vidyAkalpataro |
 nirmathitashrutisAgara jaya jaya bhagavanguro ||

 Anand
