Saundarya Lahari of Sri Adi Sankaracharya
The Saundarya Lahari is a devotional poem of one hundred hymns composed by Sri Adi Sankaracharya. The poem is divided into two parts – the first part, comprising verses 1 to 41, is called the Ananda Lahari, or Wave of Bliss; and verses 42 to 100 comprise the Saundarya Lahari, or Wave of Beauty.
The hymn is written in the shikharini meter. The first part (Ananda Lahari) extols the dynamic aspect of Brahman, as Shakti; along with manifestations for worship, and the modes of internal meditation. The second part (Saundarya Lahari) contains a magnificent exposition of the beauties of the charming form of the Divine Mother.
