শ্ৰী দক্ষিণামূৰ্তি মানসিক পূজা স্তোত্ৰম্

A worship of Dakshinamurti carried out entirely in the mind, composed by Vijnanendra. The first verse fixes the image in the heart — the gesture of knowledge, the rosary, the vessel of nectar and the book in his hands, the tiger skin, the half moon and the lord of serpents, and the poet's own mind a bee at that lotus. The second sets him at the foot of the shining banyan, his body like a sheet of crystal, a tiger's hide bound across his broad arms, the third eye quick in his brow. The verses that follow offer the sixteen customary services one by one — seat, water, sandal, flowers, incense, lamp, food, betel and the rest — but every one of them is set down in the lotus of the heart rather than before an image, which is the whole point of the form.
