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.
"Giraamaahurdevee Druhinagruhineemaagamavido

Thureeyaa Kaapi Thvam Duradhigamanihseemamahimaa
Mahaamaayaa Vishvam Bhramayathi Parabrahmamahishee!"

Besides, they speak of Thee as the lotus-born Lakshmi, the wife of Vishnu, as also as the daughter of Mountain and the Consort of Shiva. But Thou art, however, the unique fourth Power (that is the source of the three Deities mentioned) having inconceivable and limitless majesties- the indeterminable Mahamaya who revolves the wheel of this world.
