Shukastakam is a profound octet composed by the narrator of the Srimad Bhagvatam, Shuka Maharshi, son of Sri Veda Vyasa, verily describing the state of an Enlightened One. In just eight delightful verses that end with the refrain “nistraigunye pathi vicaratah ko vidhih ko nisedhah,” Sri Shuka Maharshi reveals the nature of the ultimate Reality even while declaring the utter freedom enjoyed by the Man of Realisation.
