Soundarya Lahari - Shloka 1

 शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुम्

न चेदवं देवो न खलुः कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि।

अतस्त्वामाराध्यां हरिहरविरिञ्चादिभिरपि

प्रणन्तुं स्तोतुं वा कथमकृतपुण्यः प्रभवति॥

यदि शिवः	If Shiva
शक्त्या युक्तो भवति	Is united with Shakti
शक्तः प्रभवितुम्	(He) becomes capable of action
न चेत् एवं	If that is not so
न खलुः कुशलः	He is not even capable of
स्पन्दितुमपि	Reacting to situations
अतः त्वाम्	So to You
हरि-हर- विरिञ्चादिभिः अपि	Hari (Vishnu), Hara (Shiva) Virincha (Brahma), etc by them also
आराध्यामं	One who is worshipped (by the above Trinity)
प्रणन्तुं स्तोतुं वा	To either worship or praise
अकृतपुण्यः	Someone who has not done any good deed
कथं प्रभवति	How is he capable?

If Shiva is united with Shakti, He becomes capable of action. If it is not so, He is not even capable of reacting to situations. 

Therefore, how can a person who has not done any Punya (good deed) worship You, who is worshipped by Hari, Hara and Virincha, .

The shloka implies that Shiva being the Unmanifest remains inert without Shakti, which is the manifested energy. It also highlights that one must be accomplished with a lot of virtues to worship or praise the Goddess.
