(LAKSMĪSTOTRAM)

FROM THE TANTRASĀRA 2

O DEVĪ KAMALĀ, 3 beloved of Viṣṇu,
Adored by the three worlds,
As Thou art constant to Viṣṇu, be Thou constant to me.
Whoever worshipping Lakṣmī, reads these twelve names of Her--
Iśvarī, Kamala, 4 Lakṣmī, Calā, 5
Bhūti, 6 Haripriyā, 7 Padmā, 8 Padmālayā, 9 Sampat, 10

Uchaih, 1 Śrī 2 Padmadhārinī, 3
With such an one, his wife and children,
Lakṣmī ever abides.
