Soundarya Lahari consists of two parts; the first 41 verses are famously known as Ananda Lahari/Waves of happiness and the remaining part contains 59 verses were composed by Sri Adi Shankara.  It is believed that reciting the verses with utmost devotion and dedication would bring abundance of meritorious rewards.


The Supreme Lord Shiva who is the provider of auspiciousness, with his female force Goddess Sri Shakthi/Parvati becomes competent to control the functions of this Universe; otherwise the supreme Lord Shiva remains obstinate.  Thus, Goddess Sri Shakthi who is venerated by Lord Vishnu, Lord Rudra and Lord Brahma, whoever does not have the fortune to worship or eulogize the glories of Goddess Sri Shakthi would remain unskillful.


Oh! Goddess Sri Shakthi, Lord Bhama meticulously creates the Universe and its creatures, with the precious dust particle from your lotus feet which is lustrous like precious yellow metal.  Lord Vishnu on Adishesha, scrupulously holds this Universe on his thousands of hoods and preserves it.  Ultimately Lord Maheshwara performs the function of destruction of the Universe at the end of Yuga and smears the sacred ashes all over his body.


This precious dust particle eradicates the darkness of ignorance in unintelligent, and  it shines like the place where Aditya resides.  It work like the nectar of wisdom from the alluring flowers in unwise, it act like the cluster of precious Gems/Chinthamani in the life of underprivileged, it work like the fierce teeth of Lord Varaha in those who are immersed in the material life.


Oh Goddess Sri Shakthi ! Protector of the Universe! Your lotus feet are the safe haven for the entire world.  Your lotus hands are capable to provide protection as well as blessings, your lotus feet are competent to destroy the perils, it’s capable to protect from fears and anxieties, ultimately  fulfills the desires of the worshiper.


Oh !Goddess Sri Shakthi! Bestower of boon, Lord Vishnu worshiped you, eventually he attained the form of a beautiful lady and enticed Tripurari/Lord Shiva.  Lord Manmatha venerated you and attained a form which is visible for Goddess Rathi and stirred the heart of great ascetics with full of passion and lust. 


Oh ! Himagirisuthey /daughter of Lord Himavan, You are adorned in bow made of flowers and its string made out of honey bees, five fresh alluring flowers as arrows, your warrior is spring and the chariot is Lord Vayu.  Lord Manmatha who was burnt by the third eye of Lord Shiva, received your glance and attained a form out of your compassion, eventually he became victorious in the entire universe.


Oh ! Goddess Sri Shakthi, who has nectar like sweet voice and enchanting waist, little curve on your body due the heaviness of raised bosom, attractive face has the resemblance of Lord Chandra, holding bow, arrow, noose and goad in hands, you are  the  pride of Lord Tripurari, who burnt the three cities of Tripura I earnestly pray to appear before us.


Oh! Goddess Sri Shakthi ! who resides in the glorious abode Chinthamani which is situated in the middle of milky ocean which is encircled by wish fulfilling Kalpavruksha and the garden of Kadamba in Manidhvipa, she resides in extreme bliss in a grand throne, seated on the lap of Lord Shiva and in the palace made of precious Chinthamani gems  which is worshiped by the fortunate ones.


Oh! Goddess Sri Shakthi ! Who blissfully resides with Lord Parameshwara in the Sahasrara, after successfully crossing the six status know as divine chakra which are the power of Earth - Mooladharam, power of Water - Manipooram, power of fire - Swadhishtanam,  Power of air - Anahatham, Vishnuddhi and Angna chakras.


Oh! Goddess Sri Shakthi! The nectar gushes out of the lotus feet of Goddesses rested on the thousand petal lotus, it cleanses the seventy thousands veins located in the form of nature, shortly returns from the Lord Chandra to Adhara Chakra, eventually settles in Mooladhara, coiling your body like a serpent and sleep.   Thus Goddess Sri Shakthi has attained the name Kundalini.
