Adi Shankara, drawing from the profound insights of the Purva Kaula school of Srividya worship, presents a vision in which Shiva and Shakti are not regarded as separate tattvas but are instead understood as the unified expression of the single Parabrahman. He further elucidates the concept of Shesha (subsidiary) - Sheshi (principle) bhava, a dual principle that underscores the intrinsic equality and interdependence of Shiva and Shakti in the cosmic order. This principle illuminates the equal and essential status of both divine aspects in the eternal cycles of creation.
Meditate on the sublime union of Shiva-Shakti described in this shloka through the introspective melody of raga Saveri.
