    This document is a translation and interpretation of verse 75 from the Soundarya Lahari, a Sanskrit poem praising the goddess Parvati. The verse describes Parvati's breasts as the source of poetic knowledge, with her milk flowing readily like the goddess of learning Saraswati. It states that drinking this "milk of poetry" allowed the Tamil poet Sambandar to produce great works that stole people's minds. Reciting this verse 12,000 times over three days while offering fruits and honey is said to lead to knowledge of poetry.
