Shloka 42: Gatair Manikyatvam - Raga Naata

Adi Shankaracharya begins Soundaryalahari's second part with this sublime vision - the saguṇa rūpa of Devi revealed from head to toe. The forty-second shloka first illuminates Her resplendent golden diadem, its celestial gems radiating the very essence of divine light. Here, the poet-philosopher captures not merely ornamentation, but the living symbol of Bhagavati's absolute sovereignty and infinite majesty.

Listen to this shloka set to the majestic raga Naata and contemplate on the bright and luminous crown of Devi Lalitha.
