A sloka from Soundarya Lahari :
�Sruteenaam moordhaano dadhati tava yau sekharatayaa, Mamaapi-etau maatah sirasi dayayaa dhehi charanau; Yayoh paadyam pathah pasupati jataa-joota tatini; Yayor-laakshaa lakshmih-aruna hari choodamani ruchih-� In this stanza Sri Adi Sankara prays to the Mother (maatah), to place Her divine feet, the feet which shine in the crown of the Vedas (sruteenaam moordhaano), even on his head, in the plenitude of Her mercy (dayayaa). The quality of the divine feet is explained in the last two lines. The waters with which those feet are washed (paadyam), becomes the river Ganges, flowing over the matted hair of Pasupati. The beautiful lac colour of those feet is caused by the lustre of the red crest-jewel of Hari. It is significant that Adi Sankara gives expression to his humility by once again using the expression maamapi, even mine. In another sloka in Soundarya Lahari also, he has used maamapi when begging the Divine Mother to bathe even him with the glance of Her soothing eyes � Snapaya kripaya maamapi sive. Let us surrender ourselves at the Mother�s feet which the Vedas praise, get purified of heart, and attain lasting bliss.

Maha periava thiruvadigal charanam.
Yes, matha, pitha, guru, deivam. In the order, matha stands first as ace god. Let us follow for ever.
Thanks for sharing.

May I request all the members to post here points/views related pertaining to Vedas only please..?
There are, as every one is aware, other platforms in this form to post slokas, rituals, etc.

shree maha periva thiruvadigal charanam.
Her divine feet, the feet which shine in the crown of the Vedas (sruteenaam moordhaano), even on his head, in the plenitude of Her mercy (dayayaa). The quality of the divine feet is explained in the last two lines. The waters with which those feet are washed (paadyam), becomes the river Ganges, flowing over the matted hair of Pasupati. The beautiful lac colour of those feet is caused by the lustre of the red crest-jewel of Hari
of all the mother goddess "in the plenitude of Her mercy (dayayaa)." is insisted upon . Thank you for this post and the picture.
