| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| O Lord, with my nature overpowered by weak commiseration, with my mind thrown into confusion about duty, I supplicate Thee. Tell me decidedly what is good for me. I am Thy disciple. Instruct me who have taken refuge in Thee. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Lord Siva is like unto a dancing peacock. He is blue-throated even as the peacock. He bears the sky as crest, as the peacock its feathery plume. He has the lord of all serpents as his necklace while the peacock, being the deadly enemy of all serpents, has mastery over them. He is decorated with ornaments, as the peacock is with its ornamental tail. He instructs with the sound Om in blessing those who prostrate, while the peacock utters its cry known as the Keka. He dances in joy, seeing the beautiful young daughter of the mountain (i.e, Parvati, His Consort), while the peacock dances at the sight of the black-coloured clouds coming from the hills (sailasamudhbhavam sysmam ghanarucim). I worship that Siva, the blue-throated one, who thus resembles the peacock and delights to sport in the garden of Vedanta. |
