॥ श्री महालक्ष्मी स्तोत्रम् ॥


तप्तास्स्मः मातः! तप्तास्स्मः - मधुसूदन सति, मङ्गलवति! (पल्लवी)

We are dried, O Mother! We are dried by poverty, O wife of Madhusūdana! O deity of auspiciousness!

{People who have sufficient wealth blessed by Śrī Mahālakṣmīn should sing the Pallavī otherwise. When one is blessed with excess wealth, it brings lot of physical and psychological problems. If one wants to be away from the problems created by excess money and regain lost peace, one should read the Pallavī as follows:

 

तृप्तास्स्मः मातः तृप्तास्स्मः – मधुसूदन सति, मङ्गलवति!

We are satisfied, O Mother! We are satisfied by wealth, O wife of Madhusūdana! O deity of auspiciousness!

At the end of each caraṇam, same pallavī/chorus should be repeated}

 

वात्सल्यामृत हर्ष वर्षिणि रुक्मिणि - वनमालि मनोवासिनि!
वन्दे विदर्भ नन्दिनि - श्री वासुदेवानन्द-सुन्दरि! ।। तप्तास्स्मः।।

O Rukmiṇi! Raining cloud of affection-happiness! Staying in heart of the Lord with Tulasī garland, O daughter of king of Vidarbha! my Salutations to you, O most beautiful lady of Lord Śrī Vāsudeva!

{Devotee prays to the human incarnation, Śrī Kṛṣṇa to fulfil several materialistic desires. It means, devotees pray to the human incarnation of Viṣṇu. To come out from the clutches of poverty and get wealth, the devotee must pray to mother Rukmiṇī. It means, devotee must pray to the human incarnation of Lakṣmī. Kṛṣṇa being the human incarnation, is closer to the devotee than the energetic incarnation Viṣṇu. Similarly, Rukmiṇī, being the human incarnation, is closer to the devotee than the energetic incarnation Lakṣmī. Hence, it is better for the souls to pray to Rukmiṇī-Śrī Kṛṣṇa}

 

अस्माकं सदने चरति - तव चञ्चल-किङ्किणिका-चरणे,
सन्तत - चिन्तामणिगण - सन्तान दायिनि का चिन्ता? ।। तप्तास्स्मः।।

As long as Your feet ornamented by gold anklets, Move in our residence with sounding tiny bells, Delivering crowds of ‘Cintāmaṇi’ divine gems, Which fulfil all the desires, why to worry at all?

 

{Goddess Rukmiṇī is moving in our house, for every step, she is delivering heaps of Cintāmaṇis – precious gems. One Cintāmaṇi is itself more than enough to fulfil all human desires. Then why to worry for wealth and money.}
