Sri Lakshmi Venkatesa Charanaravindha Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who is the Mother of the Universe, dearest consort of Lord Vishnu who is incarnated as Sri Venkatapathi, she dwells on the chest of Lord Vishnu, she is timid and providing serenity to the whole world, she carries lotus flowers in her hands, she is seated on the lotus flower, she has supreme brilliance with various virtues, she is primordial and controller of the Universe.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, who is compassionate, he is the provider of happiness to the whole Universe, and he is powerful.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, who carries Dhvajam, Sudhakalasham, Pathram, Vajram, Angusham, Padmam, Shakham and Chakram.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, whose lotus feet has the color of Padmaraga/ crimson colored and  outer portion of the feet has the color of Indhraneela/ clouds, his foot nails has the luster of moon.    I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, who is caressed with the loveliest hands of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, whose lotus feet is beyond perception and description.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, whose lotus feet has the supreme brilliance of the crowns of Lord Bhrama and deities prostrates before him.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa who has the reflection of crimson color from the lotus hands of his flawless consorts Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, who is incarnated as Parthasarathi for Partha, his abhyahastha indicates the importance of surrendering at his lotus feet.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Venkatesa, whose lotus feet are positioned on my head and hood of Kaliya, it walked through the woods of Dhandakavanam and Venkatadhri, and it is the essence of Upanishads and dwells in the hearts of Yogis.
