Kanchi Mahaswamigal's comments, extracted from V.Krishnamurthy's " A Digest of

Paramacharya's Discourses on Soundaryalahari "

(/message/5576)

===============================================================

There are three superlative hymns of praise on Mother Goddess in the form of

Lalita. Chronologically they are: `AryA-dvishati'(also called

`lalitA-stava-ratnam') a 200-sloka piece by Sage Durvasa; `Soundarya-lahari'

which is actually made up of two parts – `Ananda-lahari' , a 41-sloka piece

brought from Kailas by Adi Sankara and `Soundarya-lahari' the 59-sloka piece

composed by Adi Sankara himself, the two pieces together going by the popular

name of Soundarya lahari by Adi Sankara; and `Panca-shati' (a 500-sloka piece)

by the poet Muka.

 

Durvasa's Arya-dvishati gives us a spiritual experience of the presence of the

Almighty-Goddess in the very words of AryA-dvishati. In this he describes the

complicated structure of the Sri-chakra . The Goddess's Grace descends on those

who read and recite such hymns of praise composed by great devotees who have

already merited the descent of Her Grace on them. Durvasa, Adi Sankara and Muka

are three such. Such Grace exhibits itself first in the eloquence of these

hymns. And the result is, the devotee who revels in the recitation and

repetition of these hymns, himself gets that eloquence and flow of language and

of speech.
