In this thirty-fifth shloka of Soundarya Lahari, Adi Shankara presents the profound perspective of the Uttara Kaula school of Srividya worship, which recognizes Shakti as the absolute supreme force - the dominant energy orchestrating the entire cycle of creation while Shiva remains completely withdrawn within Shakti's infinite essence. Experience this revelation as Shakti is exalted as the embodiment of the entire universe and the potent Kundalini Shakti, artfully rendered through the melodious raga Rishabhapriya.

Adi Shankara, drawing from the profound insights of the Purva Kaula school of Srividya worship, presents a vision in which Shiva and Shakti are not regarded as separate tattvas but are instead understood as the unified expression of the single Parabrahman. He further elucidates the concept of Shesha (subsidiary) - Sheshi (principle) bhava, a dual principle that underscores the intrinsic equality and interdependence of Shiva and Shakti in the cosmic order. This principle illuminates the equal and essential status of both divine aspects in the eternal cycles of creation.
Meditate on the sublime union of Shiva-Shakti described in this shloka through the introspective melody of raga Saveri.
