Subhagodaya of Gaudapada is said to have served as the basis for Saundaryalahari It is considered as a Stotrakavya purely tantric in nature consisting of 49 stanzas. But there is no separate section in the work to eulogise the Goddess. It merely deals with the technical side of the Jnanapada (related to the knowledge of the Self) in Tantra. Still there are some similarities in certain lines with Saundaryalahari The form of the Goddess bearing bow, arrows, noose and go ad is familiar in Subhagodaya also. Eg. "Tatillekhamadhye sphurati manipure bhagavati Cf. caturdhai kyam tesam bhavati ca caturbahurudita dhanurbanan isubhavakusumajan ankusavaram lasat pasam hastai rudita-ravi bimbarkarucih"28 "Kvanatkandidama kari kalabha kumbhast an abhara pariksina madhye parinata saraccandravadana dhanurbanan pasam snimapi dadhana karat alaih purastadastam nah puramathituraho purusika" 29 The lineages by which sricakra is formed are explained in both the works as follows: 28. Subhagodaya 14. 29. Saundaryalahari 7.

Cf. 391 - "Trikonam ca dharam tribhuvan anute (staramanaghe bhavet svadhisthanam bhagavati dasaram manipuram dasaram te samvit kamalamatha manvasrakamume visuddham syadajna siva iti tato bainda_agram "30 "Caturbhih srikanthaih sivayuvati bhih pancabhirapi prabhinnabhih sambhornavabhirapi mulaprakrtibhih trayascat varimsat vasudalakalasrat rivalayatrirekhabhih sardham tava caranakonah nipatitah 31 The concept of the production of the 360 rays divided into the three planes of Soma, Surya and Anala confined within the six plexuses is also explained as follows: "Satam ca stau vahneh satamapi kalah sodasa raveh satam sat ca trimsat sitamayamayukhah caranajah ya ete sastisca tri satamabhavan tvat saranajah mahakalastasmat na hi tava sive kalakalana" Cf. "Ksitau satpancas advisam adhikapancasadudake hutase dvasasti scaturadhi kapancasadanile divi dvi satt rimsan aman ai ca catuh sastiriti ye mayukhastesamapy upari tava padambujayug am" 30. Subhagodaya 10. 31. Saundaryalahari 11. 32. Subhagodaya 9. 33. Saundaryalahari 14.

392 The superiority of Her Tantra and the inferiority of all the other sixtyfour Tantras (already founded) and the explanation of the sixteen-lettered chant otherwise called Sodasaksari are common to both. Cf. Cf. E.g. "Catuhsastistantranyapi ninditamabhut tadetanmi srakhyam matamapi bhavet ninditamiha subhakhyah pancaite srutisarani siddhah mahavidyastasam bhavati paramartha bhagavati #34 "Catuh sastya tantaraih sakalamabhisamdhaya bhuvan am sthitasttattadsiddhiprasavaparat antraih pasupatih punastyannirban dhad akhilapurusarthai kaghatana svatantram te tantram ksititalamavatit ar adidam #35 "Smaro maro marah smara iti smaro maramadanasmaranangasceti smaramadan amarah manuriti trikhandah khandante kalitabhuvanesyaksarayut ah catuh pancarnaste traya iti tripancaksaraman uh #36 "Sivah saktih kamah ksi tiratha ravih sitakiranah smaro hamsah sakrah tadanu ca para maraharayah ami hrllekhabhih tisrbhiravasanesu ghatita bhajante varnaste tava janani namavayavatam "37 34. Subhagodaya 18. 35. Saundaryalahari 31. 36. Subhagodaya 19. 37. Saundaryalahari 32.

393 The contemplation of Parasambhu and Paracit which results in the attainment of supreme bliss is explained in both the works. E.g. Cf. "Manastattvam jitva nayan amatha nasagraghatitam punarvyavrttaksah svayam api yada pasyati param tadanimevasya sphurati bahirantarbhagavati paranandakara parasivarupa kacidapara"38 a "Tyajnacakrastham tapana sasi kotidyutiparam param sambhum vande parimi litaparsvam paracita yamaradhyan bhaktya ravisasisucinam avisaye niraloke loke nivasati hi bhalo kabhuvane' #39 Both the works reveal the truth that Navatmatva is the attribute given to Siva and Sakti and that they are the parents of Universe. The following verse explains it. Cf. "Navavyuham kaulaprabhrti kamatam tena sa vibhuh navatma vamadiprakrtibhiridam baindavavapuh navatma devo Syam jagadudayakrt bhairavavapuh mahadevi tabhyam janakajananimajjagadidam"40 "Tavadhare mule saha samayaya lasyaparaya navatmanam vande navarasamahat andavan at am ubhabhyametabhyamubhayavidhimuddi sya dayaya sanathabhyam jajne janakajanani majjagadidam "41 38. Subhagodaya 2. 39. Saundaryalahari 36. 40. Subhagodaya 44. 41. Saundaryalahari 41.
