Kanakadhara Stotram

 

1)Angam hare pulaka bhooshanamasrayanthi, Bhringanga neva mukulabharanam thamalam, Angikrithakhila vibhuthirapanga leela, Mangalyadasthu mama mangala devathaya.	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.
2)Mugdha muhurvidhadhadathi vadhane Murare, Premathrapapranihithani gathagathani, Mala dhrishotmadhukareeva maheth pale ya, Sa ne sriyam dhisathu sagarasambhavaya	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, whose glances are directed towards the face of Hari (Murari). Charmed by his face, her glances are filled with love and bashfulness, as they return to his face time and again. Her glances are like the honey- bees that hover around the huge water lily. She who has risen from the ocean of milk, may she bestow her glance filled with good fortune upon me.
3)Ameelithaksha madhigamya mudha Mukundam Anandakandamanimeshamananga thanthram, Akekara stiththa kaninika pashma nethram, Bhoothyai bhavenmama bhjangasayananganaya.	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, who has captured the joyous face of Mukunda through her fully opened eyes, her gaze remaining on his ecstatic face with closed eyes. Her glance is filled with happiness and love. Let a glance that lavishes Mukunda, he who rests on the snake, from the corner of her eyes, come to rest on me.
4)Bahwanthare madhujitha srithakausthube ya, Haravaleeva nari neela mayi vibhathi, Kamapradha bhagavatho api kadaksha mala, Kalyanamavahathu me kamalalayaya	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, who resides in the heart of the Conqueror of the demon Madhu, where lies the Kausthuba Mani (a most valuable gem in the world). Her glances shine like a bluish-yellow string of pearls that raise love in Hari. Through her string of side- glances, may the one who resides in lotuses, bless me with those side glances, touch my life, and bring auspiciousness and wealth to me.
5)Kalambudhaalithorasi kaida bhare, Dharaadhare sphurathi yaa thadinganeva, Mathu samastha jagatham mahaneeya murthy, Badrani me dhisathu bhargava nandanaya	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, she who hovers like a bee, like a streak of lightning flashing over the bosom that resembles a black cloudy sky, the bosom of one who killed Kaithaba. The gracious Mother of the whole universe, the daughter of the mighty sage Bhargava. May her auspicious form touch my life and bring me prosperity.
6) Praptham padam pradhamatha khalu yat prabhavath, Mangalyabhaji madhu madhini manamathena, Mayyapadetha mathara meekshanardham, Manthalasam cha makaralaya kanyakaya.	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, through whose power Manmatha, the God of Love, was able to reach the one who slew Madhu- Hari, who is always connected with the one who bestows happiness. May the power from the glance of that kind and gentle half-open eyes, full of love and blessings, a glance so soft, of the daughter of the ocean, fall upon me.
7)Viswamarendra padhavee bramadhana dhaksham, Ananda hethu radhikam madhu vishwoapi, Eshanna sheedhathu mayi kshanameekshanartham, I ndhivarodhara sahodharamidhiraya	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, she, who with a mere side glance, could grant the exalted position of the King of the three worlds to Indra. This made the enemy of Madhu, who is the Supreme Bliss, overwhelmed with joy. I pray that a glance through the splendor of those half-closed eyes resembling blue lotuses could rest on me, for just a moment.
8) Ishta visishtamathayopi yaya dhayardhra, Dhrishtya thravishta papadam sulabham labhanthe, Hrishtim prahrushta kamlodhara deepthirishtam, Pushtim krishishta mama pushkravishtaraya.	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi. With just her divine glance, even the most difficult desires, like attaining a place in heaven, can be achieved. This is the power of her moist, compassionate eyes, the kindest eyes one can ever see. Her glance that bears the splendor of a lotus in bloom, that magical, joyous moment; may it come my way. May the merciful glance of the one seated in a lotus nourish my wishes.
9)Dhadyaddhayanupavanopi dravinambhudaraam, Asminna kinchina vihanga sisou vishanne, Dhushkaramagarmmapaneeya chiraya dhooram, Narayana pranayinee nayanambhuvaha.	Salutations to Mother Lakshmi, and may she bestow the wind of her mercy and shower her wealth on this destitute, helpless like the child of a bird, driven by poverty. May she remove the impact of the burden of sins from my life. May she bestow the shower of rain of mercy from her eyes, she, the beloved of Narayana.
