Shloka 63: Smita Jyotsnajalam - Raga Saranga

In this sixty-third shloka of Soundaryalahari, Adi Shankara glorifies the bliss of charming smile of Lalitha Tripurasundari, whose radiant sweetness makes even moonlight seem sour. He uses a playful metaphor of chakora birds to portray the divine glow of Devi’s smile, outshining all cosmic wonders. 

Meditate on this shloka set to the mellifluous raga Saranga and explore the deeper expression of this poetic imagery.
