The above verse is from Adisankara’s ‘ardhanaari stotram’.

In the above verse Adi sankara describes both siva and pArvati who are in the ‘ardha naareeswara’ form. He compares pArvati’s white complexion to the champaka flower. And siva to the colour of the camphor. He further describes pArvati’s braided and ornamented hair decorated by flowers. And Lord siva with his matted hair.

Adisankara prostrates before Lord siva and goddess pArvati.
