Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Dear Sir / Madam, I feel that the Shloka and the explanation provided do not match. The meaning of the sloka is something like this: O Mother, Kindly keep your feet on my head also, Which are like an ornament at the Apex of Vedas, The ganga originated from the head of shiva washes the feet, and the lac painted on them shines like ornaments of Vishnu. I think the explanation provided below pertains to next Shloka. Pardon me if I am wrong. Thanks, Sriram --- On Fri, 6/27/08, NMadasamy <nora wrote: NMadasamy <nora Soundarya Lahari--Verse 84 Friday, June 27, 2008, 7:17 AM SrutInAm mUrdhAno dadhati tava yau sekharatayA mamApy etau mAtah sirasi dayayA dhehi caranau; Yayoh pAdyam pAthah pasupati-jatA- jUta-tatinI yayor lAksA-laksmIr aruna-hari-cUdAmani -rucih Our salutations we respectfully tender to this Thy pair of feet, revishingly beautiful, distinctly bright with the las dye freshly painted over them.

In other words, he wishes very much that some of them be administered to himself.
