Soundarya Lahari with Meaning

For more than a thousand years, devotees have sung these hundred Sanskrit verses to Devi, the Divine Mother. Tradition holds that they were composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya Bhagavatpada. The first forty-one are the Ananda Lahari, the wave of bliss; the rest are the Soundarya Lahari, the wave of beauty.
