How to use this book

This book is intended to help learners who

would like to memorise or do pārāyaṇa of the

śloka-s of Saundaryalaharī.

The following guidelines and principles may be

followed to develop a reverential attitude towards
this text and learn to chant the verses in the correct

way:

• Traditionally, the pārāyaṇa is started with

namaskāra to Śaṅkarācārya (Maṅgala in p.1).

• After this, Ṛṣyādinyāsa (p.2), Karanyāsa (p.2),

Aṅganyāsa (p.3), Dyānaśloka (p.3) and
Pañcopacāra-pūjā (p.4) are done. The nyāsa-s

and other practices before the start of the
parāyaṇa should be learnt from able Guru-s.

After the Pañcopacāra-pūjā, all 100 verses are
chanted (starting from p.5).

• At the end of the pārāyaṇa, Uttaranyāsa
(p.38), Dhyānaśloka of Saundaryalaharī (p.39) and

Pañcopacāra pūjā (p.39) are done again.
