- I ever worship Sharada, my mother, with forehead marked by auspicious lines, delighting in shining song, sole protector of her devotees, with fame and splendor on her cheeks, with rosary in hand, fond of ancient texts.
Protector of devotees alone and lover of sacred song, she holds the rosary of syllables that count toward the Self; learning becomes worship when sound and meaning both point beyond the letter to the witness mind.
