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.
"Padam They Keertheenaam Prapadamapadam Devi Vipadaam
Katham Neetham Sadbhihi Kathinakamatheekarparathulaam!
Katham Vaa Baahubhyaamupayamanakaaley Purabhidaa
Yadaadaaya Nyastham Drushadi Dayamaaneyna Manasaa!"
Literal Meaning : O Devi! How do great poets equate Thy fore-foot, a seat of fame and beyond the reach of mishaps, to the hardened back (shell) of the tortoise? And how did Thy Consort, the Destroyer of the Cities, inspite of all His tenderness towards Thee, have the heart to place Thy foot on a hard granite grinding stone at Thy marriage rite?.
