''' Shadurmi''' refers to the six emotional and physical feelings, which are - 1) '' [[Trishna (Vedic thought)|pipāsā]] '' ('thirst'), 2) '' [[Trishna (Vedic thought)|kshudhā]] '' ('pangs of hunger', 'appetite'), 3) '' [[Grief|śhoka]] '' ('sorrow', 'suffering') 4) '' [[Moh|moha]] '' ('temptation', 'infatuation', 'delusion'), 5) '' [[Jarāmaraṇa|jarā]] '' ('old age'), and 6) '' [[mrtyu]] '' ('death'). These are the natural abiding emotions, and these are the six excitements of ''shadripu'' ('six enemies') or the six waves of ''shadurminadi''. <ref>{{cite book|title=Stories of Indian Saints Vol.1|author=Mahipati|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|page=Appendix III|url= https://books.google.co.in/books?id=EQDyZA1y2nMC&pg=RA1-PA438&lpg=RA1-PA438&dq=shadurmi&source=bl&ots=Rs2VVmMGzJ&sig=DazjQCMUPyjqoIPyB1cwlJlDCqI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=aAudVKKwAYTkuQTq9ILQCQ&ved=0CBsQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=shadurmi&f=false }}</ref>
[[Adi Shankara|Shankara]] refers to these six waves in his [[Vivekachudamani]] ([[shloka]] 257) thus:-
:षडभिरूर्मिभिरयोगी योगीह्र्दभावितं न करणैविभावितम् |
:बुद्ध्यवेद्यमनवद्यमूर्ति यद् ब्रह्म तत्वमसि भावयात्मनि ||
:"That which is not affected by the six waves, which is meditated on in the minds of the yogins, which cannot be apprehended by the sense-organs, which is unknowable by the intellect, which is flawless excellence, thou art That. Meditate on It in thy mind."
[[Chandrasekhara Bharati III|Śri Candraśekhara Bhāratī of Śrngeri]] in his commentary explains that thirst, hunger, grief, delusion, old age and death, these six, though unconnected with [[Brahman]], arise again and again, in as many waves; the first two i.e. thirst and hunger, belong to the [[prana]], grief and delusion belong to the mind, and old age and death to the body.<ref>{{cite book|title=Sri Samkara’s Vivekacudamani|publisher=Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan|page=270|url= http://books.google.co.in/books/about/Vivekacudamani.html?id=J-U3twAACAAJ&redir_esc=y }}</ref>
