The Soundarya Lahari is not only a poem. It is a tantra textbook, giving instructions on puja and offerings, many yantras, almost one to each shloka; describes tantric ways of performing devotion connected to each specific shloka; and details the results ensuing.
Soundarya Lahari, meaning waves of beauty consists of two parts, Ananda Lahari meaning waves of happiness (first 41 stanzas) and Soundarya Lahari(the next 59 stanzas). It is believed that Lord Ganesha himself has etched the Ananda Lahari on Mount Meru.
These 100 stanzas are supposed to be the foremost among Manthra literature. It is also believed that by Making suitable Yanthras and reciting particular stanzas and worshipping the yantras almost anything can be obtained in the world.
"Himaaneehanthavyam Himagirinivaasaikachathurau
Nishaayaam Nidraanaam Nishi Charamabhaagey Cha Vishadau!
Varam Lakshmeepaathram Shriyamathisrujanthau Samayinaam
Sarojam Thvathpaadau Janani Jayathashchithramiha Kim!"
Literal Meaning : O Mother of the Universe! The lotus of Thy feet, which always remain on the snow Mountain (Himalayas), blooming day and night bestowing their grace on devotees, is undoubtedly far superior to the common lotus flower which perishes in snow, closes at night and in dependent, for its grace, upon Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth whose blessings on devotees are quite temporary.
