Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, who dwells like a delightful ornament within Hari, like bees that are attracted to the half-open buds of the black Tamala tree and decorate them with their humming sound. The one who carries within her the opulence of the entire world and showers wealth through her divine glance. May that glance bring auspiciousness and prosperity into my life.

Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, whose glances are directed towards the face of Hari (Murari).

She who has risen from the ocean of milk, may she bestow her glance filled with good fortune upon me.
