The success and glory of life of Adi Sankara is sung in one sloka

 

"Ashta varshe chaturveedi

Dvaadasae sarva saastravit,

Shodasee kritavaan bhaashyam

Dvaatrimsee munirabhyagaat."

meaning,

 

"At eight, a master of four Vedas

At twelve, a professor of all sastras,

At sixteen, an interpreter and commentator

At thirty two, a great sage."

 

Enjoy!

 

Warmest regards,
