Serving with ease

Slogam
mahambodhitheerae mahapaapachorae, muneendraanukoolae sugandhakhya shaile
guhayam vasantham svabhasa lasantham, janaarthim harantham shrayaamo guham tham

Meaning
On the shores of the great ocean which steals away the sins of the devotees, stands the Sugandha hills, the most favourable site for the sages to perform their penance! Thou resides there to destroy the worries of the devotees! O self-luminous Lord who is present in the cave of the heart! I adore Thee!

Beauty:

The above is from Subramanya Bhujangam by Adi Sankara( para 7) ; onething I liked is the confidence this slogan is able to create

Lord is on the shore; devotee is also on the shore; the Ocean steals the sin of the devotee who is at the feet of the Lord;

I liken the above process to the following day today affair

When a child is in the hands of elders and the child defecates, mother standing next will immediately clean even before the person holding the child comes to know what is happening; here the ocean, is the house of mother Mahalakshmi with all Her wealth.
