The SUANDARYALAHARI (the wave of Beauty) is a popular devotional hymn ascribed to the great exponent of Advaita Vedanta, Sri Sankaracarya. It deals with forms of worship of Divine Sakti. Suandaryalahari is written in praise of the Devi Tripurasundari in one hundred verses (with three more verses found in some editions) in the famous Sikharaini meter. The great Tantric test rightly elaborates on the various aspects of the worship of the Divine Mother.
The first part contains forty-one verses which are known as Anandalahari. It mainly deals with the Sricakra, called the adobe of Siva-Sakti, which forms the special symbol of worship for devotees of the Devi-Lalita, Tripura-Sundari, etc. 
The second part contains a magnificent exposition of the beauties of the charming form of the great Divine Mother, from feet to crown with a concluding prayer for her gracious generosity. No doubt, a Tantric worshipper or Sadhaka may get real peace of heart and attain liberation after following the esoteric practices enunciated therein.
This new edition contains the original Sanskrit text along with the most famous commentary of Laksmidhara. Besides, the verses' English translation, explanatory notes, and transliteration are also called with it. Several indices have been added in which yantras and the mode of their worship have been given. The chief peculiarity of this edition is that it contains all variant readings of the test & commentary found in different editions.
