Shloka 89: Nakhairnaka Strinam - Raga Vakulabharana

In the eighty-ninth shloka of Soundaryalahari, Adi Shankara praises the generosity of the Divine Mother’s lotus feet, which bestow riches (bhoga) and liberation (moksha)  to all the living beings, unlike the heavenly wish-fulfilling trees, such as kalpavrksha, which limit their blessings  only to the gods. Adorned with radiant toenails that outshine even the heavenly damsels, Devi is addressed as Chandi — the one who is fierce against negativity, yet infinitely compassionate.

Listen and meditate on this vision of boundless benevolence, offered through the soothing raga Vakulabharana.
