I would like to add the 27th sloka from Adi Shankara' s Soundarya Lahari

japo jalpah shilpam sakalamapi mudrA viracanA
gaitih prAdakshinyam ashanAdhyAhuti vidhih
praNAmah samveshah sukhamakhilam AtmArpaNadrshA

AtmArpaNadrshA = having offered my body, mind, prANa and my spirit to you and by the blessing of this knowledge that I am your svarUpa - jIvAtma paramAtma ikyam

jalpah =  let all the prattle that is done on vyavahara of the world

japah bhavatu = may it be your mahamantra japa

sakalam shilpamapi = let all the activities performed by the movement of the arma and the legs

mudrAviracanA bhavatu = may it be the ten mudras - samkshobam, vidsAvaNam, AkarshaNam, vasyham, unmAdam, mhAnkusham, kecari, yoni, trikandam

This is  prayer ultimate.

 I understand Kanchi ParamAcharya has written exhaustively on Soundarya Lahari in Daivattin Kural book-6 in tamil. Could some one translate the interpretation of this sloka from the book.
