Manisha Panchaka of Shankaracharya (learn to chant series)

The Manisha Panchakam is based on Shankara's response to Lord Shiva in the form of a chandala (outcast) who challenged Shankara's notions of ritual purity. When Shankara asked him to go away, Shiva as a chandala asked, "Should my body go away from yours, when they are both equally impure? Should my atma go away from yours, when they are both equally pure? Each line repeated twice for learning.
