[Advaita-l] Evidence for Hari-Hara worship in early 13CE

[Sriram Sankaranarayanan]

Namaskarams to all,

Adding to this from the Skanda Upanishad
<http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_upanishhat/skandaupan.html?lang=sa>

//

शिवाय विष्णुरूपाय शिवरूपाय विष्णवे ।
शिवस्य हृदयं विष्णुः विष्णोश्च हृदयं शिवः ॥ ८॥

यथा शिवमयो विष्णुरेवं विष्णुमयः शिवः ।
यथान्तरं न पश्यामि तथा मे स्वस्तिरायुषि ॥ ९॥

यथान्तरं न भेदाः स्युः शिवकेशवयोस्तथा ।
देहो देवालयः प्रोक्तः स जीवः केवलः शिवः ॥ १०॥

//

Kind regards,
Sriram


Hamsah Soham
