Though there are large number of translations and commentaries of Soundarya Lahari available this is perhaps the first time an attempt is made by a mere novice to translate them in to English verse. Of them the most famous is that written by Lakshmi Dhara alias Lalla, His commentary is used to understand the meaning of the different verses. There are more thn 36 commentaries to Soundarya Lahari written in Sanskrit itself. It is also believed that by Making suitable Yantras and reciting particular stanzas and worshiping the yantras almost anything can be obtained in the world. These 100 stanzas are supposed to be the foremost among Mantra literature. Adi Sankara himself added the rest of the 59 stanzas and completed it. It was read from there by Sage Goudapada who taught it to Adi Sankara. It is believed that Lord Ganesha himself has etched the Ananda Lahari on Mount Meru (Some people believe that Sage Pushpa Dhantha did the etching). Ananda Lahari meaning waves of happiness (first 41 stanzas) and Soundarya Lahari (the next 59 stanzas). Soundarya Lahari meaning waves of beauty consists of two parts viz. Soundarya Lahari b y Adi Sankaracharya, Translated by P.
