nine autumn nights - 2018

A bee is referred variously as Bhringam, - the buzzer - Bhramaram, - the whirler -  Madhupam - nectar guzzler.

When used as metaphor for movements of five senses and mind, Sancara chooses the word Shat-pada - the six footed.

In his six-versed poem of Shatpadi, he prays for both Shanti and Danthi. Tradition eulogises Shankaracharya as, Shanti Danthi Boomnam.

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, kanchi.
