Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi concludes “whoever
recites these 1008 sacred names with utmost faith and devotion would remain unblemished
and get their desires fulfilled. I shall
shower blessings on childless couple, children with lack
of good fortune, people with lack of
intelligence, and disabilities, lack of speech,
distressed etc…they all will avail my blessings with the recitation of the
above sacred verses.” Thus Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi/Vaishnavi affirmed the above
and disappeared from the sight of Sage Sanathkumara.
Sage Sanathkumara spoke “The deities
receive their share of offerings made to fire sacrifices in the form of
oblations, and whoever performs would receive the blessings, victory, affluence
and their wishes will get fulfilled. Oh! Sages, I
have described the 1008 sacred names of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi that are highly propitious, kindly recite those verses and attain all that you have
desired.”
Sage Gargya spoke “ Sage
Sanathkumara who is most compassionate and illustrious among Yogis, blessed the 12 Sages
assembled before him and left the place after describing those 1008 sacred names of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. The above sacred verses are highly
confidential, and it should recite with utmost devotion and dedication, and it
should be recited on the days of Friday, or eighth or fourteenth or ninth
day, or Pournami days, or Amavasya days, or on any auspicious days, whoever recites
these sacred verses praising Goddess Mahalakshmi on regular basis would get
their wishes fulfilled.”
