Soundarya Lahari verse 88 delves into the symbolism of the Kurma Avatar, where Vishnu manifests as a tortoise to stabilize the churning of the cosmic ocean. This divine act required the most authoritarian base, exemplified by the tortoise’s back, and was essential for the success of the cosmic venture. Shankaracharya marvels at the tender care exhibited by Shiva during Parashakti’s marriage, where he gently placed her soft feet on a grinding stone, symbolizing the divine union between feminine and masculine energies. Meditating on Parashakti’s feet is likened to melting the hardness of one’s heart, leading to spiritual realization and bliss. The verse emphasizes the profound significance of worshipping Parashakti’s feet, symbolizing humility and devotion. Shankaracharya urges devotees to surrender their egos and place her feet in their minds and hearts, acknowledging her supremacy and attaining enlightenment. The story of Mahishasura’s transformation through Parashakti’s feet underscores the power of divine grace to dispel ego and ignorance.
