Sridha Srishah Srinivasah Srinidhi Srivibha-Vanaha 
Sridharah Srikarah Shreyah Shriman Loka-Trayashrayaha


ஸ்ரீத ஸ்ரீச ஸ்ரீனிவாஸ ஸ்ரீநிதி ஸ்ரீவிபாவன
ஸ்ரீதர ஸ்ரீகர ஸ்ரேய ஸ்ரீமான்லோகத்ரயாச்ரய

Sree-dah - One who gives Sree to all His sincere and dedicated devotees. Narayana provides wealth, for all His ardent devotees. He is the River of Knowledge and Joy for all devoted hearts which are surrendered to Him.
Sreesah - The Lord of the Goddess of Wealth, Sree-Mahalakshmi. Her wealth is ‘the ability to nourish.’ Thus She gives to the striving devotee, the mighty and noble virtues, his inner wealth.
Sree-nivaasah - One who dwells and manifests in the good people. Here the word Sree is to be understood as “those who have Sree in them.” The One Who abides in purified hearts-wherein the passions and lusts have been removed and peace, joy, devotion and understanding have arrived. In such people the Self comes to shine all by Itself.
Sree-nidhih - One Who is the treasure- house (Nidhih) of Sree. Vishnu, being the All-Full and Perfect, all glories draw themselves from Him alone. Even Sree-Maayaa --can play Her games only when She draws Her vitality from Narayana, the Self.
Sree-bibhaavanah – “One Who is a Distributor of Sree.” Vishnu provides each, according to his merit, the wealth, both inner and outer. Sree Narayana is the Law behind actions and so He is the Dispenser of the fruits- of-actions.
Sree-dharah - Lord always carries Sree in His bosom. In short, Atman, the Self, is never divorced from Its omnipotence and All-Fullness.
Sree-karah - One Who confers Sree upon His devotees who remember Him continuously, reflect upon His nature and meditate upon His Glories.
Sreyah - Narayana is Moksha-Liberation. He is the Way and the Goal. He gives to His devotees the total liberation from all their physical passions, emotional agitations and intellectual restlessnesses.
Sreemaan – One Who possesses all Glories, Riches, Capacities and Beauties. He who is the owner of all Sree; the abode of all Its Splendour.
Lokatraya-asrayah - The Shelter for the three worlds. The Substratum for the three worlds-of-experiences (waking, dream and deep-sleep). If the Self, the Consciousness, were not in us, no experience would ever be ours. Narayana is this “objectless awareness.”

Soundarya Lahari - part 2

The Soundarya Lahari meaning "Waves Of Beauty" is a famous literary work in Sanskrit believed to be written by sage Pushpadanta and Adi Shankara.

Description of Srichakram - good progeny, life becomes meaningful:

chaturbis Sreekanthais Siva yuvatibhih panchabhir api
prabhinna abhis Sambor navabhir api moola prakritibhih
chatus chatwaarimsad vasu dala kalaasra trivalaya
tri raekhaabhis saartham tava Sarana konaah parinataah. [11]

ஸ்ரீசக்கர வர்ணனை [ஸத்ஸந்தானம், ஜன்ம ஸாபல்யம்]

சதுர்ப்பி: ஸ்ரீகண்டை: சிவ யுவதிபி; பஞ்சபிரபி
ப்ரபின்னாபி: சம்போர்-நவபிரபி மூலப்ரக்ருதிபி: I
சதுச்சத்வாரிம்சத்-வஸுதல-கலாshra-த்ரிவலய
த்ரிரேகாபி: ஸார்த்தம் தவ சரணகோணா பரிணதா: II [11]

The Sri Chakra (the abode of the Sakti) has 44 angles with four Sri Kantha (Siva chakras)
and five Siva Yuvati (Other Sakti chakras), separate from the Siva chakras and these are
nine source materials for the universe. These are surrounded by the eight petalled lotus
(Asta dala padma), next by the sixteen petalled lotus. All these are in three circles
separated by the 3 lines. (Sree Sakti is the 1000 petalled lotus in the brain.)
     

Unparalleled beauty - highest attainment in life, dumb person gets the power of speech:

twadeeyam soundaryam tuhina giri kanyae tulayitum
kaveendraah kalpantae kathamapi virinchi prabhritayah
 yuda alokoutsukyaad amara lalanaa yaanti manasaa
 tapobhir dushpraapaam api girisa saayujya padaveem .[12]

O! Daughter of the snow mountain! The best of poets such as Virinchi (Brahma) and others are unable to compare, at least somehow or other, your beauty (with any thing they know of). Out of their ardent curiosity to witness your glory, the celestial women (apsaras) enter the Lord Siva’s mind through contemplation and total surrender. O! This experience is impossible even by any rigorous penance.
The grace of Her look - success in love:
         
naram varsheeyaamsam nayana virasam narmasu jadam
tavaapaanga alokae patitam anudha avanti satasah
 galad vaenee bandhaah kucha kalasa visrasta sichayaah
 hathat trutyat kaanchyo vigalita dukoolaa yuvatayah.  [13]

          O! Mother, A tiny glance from even the corner of your eye is good enough! A man, even though is very old, very ugly looking and apathetic in amorous sport, hundreds of young women go after him, unmindful of their loosened braided hair, slipping upper cloth from their attractive bosoms, suddenly snapping waist ornaments and their drooping silk sarees. Isn’t it the power of thy blessing?

 Beyond adhara chakras - avoidance of famine and epidemic:

O! Mother! Your pair of lotus feet is even above the following beams of light that are thus disposed. They are fifty six in the earth element, fifty two in the water element, sixty two in the fire element, fifty four in the air element, twice thirty six (72) in the space element, and sixty four in the mind element. Sakti staanam is above these six planes in the 1000 petalled lotus in the Amruta Ocean and is called the BINDU STANAM.

O! Mother, You are pure like the autumnal moonlight, You are decorated with a tiara (kireeta like) made up of the mass of your twisted hair crowned with the moon, and Your hands grant all boons and promise protection from fear, and sport the crystal beads and a book of knowledge. It is, but natural that the poetic works of people, who bowed to you and got your blessings, are fully charged with the sweetness of honey, milk and grape juice.

O! Mother, Just as the morning Sun shine is to the lotuses, You are the illuminating morning twilight of the red dawn, to lotus hearts of the best of poets (their creativity). Those blessed good men who worship Thee, become dearest to Goddess Saraswati. By her grace, they ever impart pleasure and consummation to the hearts of like minded courtiers with their creative, profound and romantic poetry.

          O! Mother! You are in the company of Vasini (Lakshmi), the Goddess of speech (Savitri) and the Goddess of beauty (Rati) with the luster of the moon-stone slabs (marble blocks). The one, who, adores You in the company of the above powers, certain, he becomes the author of extra-ordinary poetry with the beauty, taste and wit of all time great poets and his works emanate the sweet fragrance of the lotus face of the goddess Saraswati.

Meditation on Devi's image: victory in love:    

 tanu chchaaya abhistae taruna tarani sree saranibhih
divam sarwaam urveem arunimani magnaam smarati yah
 bhavant asya trasyad vana harina saaleena nayanaah

O! Mother! He, who understands that all heaven and earth are ever immersed in the pink luster of Thy persona, akin to the luster of the freshly arisen Sun, to him, how many celestial courtesan maids along with Urvasi are not at his feet - with their eyes resembling frightened forest deer ?  (Indeed all such women are after him)

To win over our loved ones:    

     mukham bindum kritwaa kucha yuga madhastasya tadadho
 hara artham dhyaayaedyo hara mahishi tae manmatha kalaam

  O! Queen of Hara! He, who meditates on Thee as manifestation of the Creative Force, having imagined the Bindu as Thy face, Thy bosom as the middle part, and Thy female organs of generation below that (signifying you as force of the laya, sthiti and srusti), he immediately reduces all women into a state of agitation very easily. He even deludes quickly, the maiden named Trilokee (three worlds) who has the sun and moon as her pair of breasts.

 Cure from poisons and fevers:              

kiranteem angaebhyah kirana nikurumba amrita rasam
 hridi twaam aadhattae hima kara silaa moortim iva yah
 sa sarpaanaam darpam samayati sakuntaadhipa iva

   O! Mother! He, who fixes Thee in his heart as the scintillation emanating, like nectar, from the various parts of Thy persona, like the multitude of cool rays from an idol made up of moon-stone (marble), becomes powerful like Garutman, the lord of birds – who destroys the pride of serpents. Such a devoted man comforts those scorched by fever by his mere look, endowed as if he is with the vessel overflowing with Amrita.
