Invoke for you O Agni, the Goddess Lakshmi, who shines
like gold, yellow in hue, wearing gold and silver
garlands, blooming like the moon, the embodiment of
wealth. O Agni! Invoke for me that unfailing Lakshmi,
blessed by whom, I shall win wealth, cattle, horses
and men.

I
invoke Shri (Lakshmi, who has a line of horses in
her front, a series of chariots in the middle, who
is being awakened by the trumpeting of elephants,
who is divinely resplendent. May that divine Lakshmi
grace me. I hereby invoke that Shri (Lakshmi) who
is the embodiment of absolute bliss; who is of pleasant
smile on her face; whose lustre is that of burnished
gold; who is wet as it were, (just from the milky
ocean) who is blazing with splendour, and is the embodiment
of the fulfillment of all wishes; who satisfies the
desire of her votaries; who is seated on the lotus
and is beautiful like the lotus.

I
resort to that Lakshmi for shelter in this world,
who is beautiful like the moon, who shines bright,
who is blazing with renown, which is adored (even)
by the gods, which is highly magnanimous, and grand
like the lotus. May my misfortunes perish. I surrender
myself to You, O resplendent like the Sun! By your
power and glory, plants like the bael tree have grown
up. may the fruits thereof destroy through the grace
of all inauspiciousness rising from the inner organs
and ignorance as well from the outer senses.

O Lakshmi! I am born in this country with the heritage
of wealth. May the friends of Lord Siva (Kubera, Lord
of wealth and Fame), come to me. May these (having
take their abode with me), bestow on me fame and prosperity.
I shall destroy the elder sister to Lakshmi, the embodiment
of inauspiciousness and such evil as hunger, thirst
and the like. O Lakshmi! Drive out from my abode all
misfortunes and poverty.

I
hereby invoke Lakshmi (Shri), whose (main) avenue
of perception is the odoriferous sense (i.e., one
who abides mainly in cows); who is incapable of defeat
or threat from anyone; who is ever healthy (with such
virtuous qualities as truth); whose grace is seen
abundantly in the refuse of cows (the cows being sacred);
and who is supreme over all created beings. O Lakshmi!
May we obtain and enjoy the fulfillment of our desires
and our volitions, the veracity of our speech, the
wealth of cattle, the abundance of varieties of food
to eat! May prosperity and fame reside in me.

Reside at my home; and arrange to make Divine Mother

Lakshmi who shines like gold, blooms like the moon,
