Sage Parashara speaks “ Thus Goddess Sri
Mahalakshmi who is seated on the majestic throne, holding divine wheel and
lotus flower in her hands, returned to the abode of trinities which is her
permanent dwelling place.’’
Lord Indra spoke “ I shall prostrate
before Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who is initiated from the milky ocean and she is
the mother of the Universe, she is the symbol of wealth, she has eyes resembles
to lotus flower, she dwells on the chest of Lord Vishnu, she dwells in the
house of lotus/Padmalaya, she has the luster of lotus flower/Padmakaram, her
eyes resembles to the leaves of lotus flower/Padmapathranibhekshana, her face
has the resemblance to lotus flower/Padmamukhi, she is the darling of Lord
Padmanabha/Padmanabhapriya, she is
Siddhi, Swadha and Swaha as well, she is the ruler of the Universe, she is
personified as Goddess Sri Saraswathi, she represents dusk, night , dawn, Earth
and cleverness as well. she represents knowledge about fire sacrifices/Yajjavidhya,
she is the symbol of Mahavidhya/supreme knowledge, she represents Guhyavidhya/supreme
knowledge about confidential subjects, she has supreme brilliance, she
represents Athmavidhya/knowledge of Athman/soul, she is the provider of liberty
from repeated births to her passionate devotees, she is the symbol of the
Universe/Jagathroopa, she is omnipresent, she is compassionate and fierce as
well, she is the seeker of truth in the three worlds and disperse punishment,
she represents Yajja/fire sacrifices and dwells in the hearts of Yogis, Oh! Devi, the entire Universe remains
fruitless without your presence, Oh! Mahabhaga, your auspicious gaze provides
appropriate companion, children, friends, wealth, and grains in abundance, Oh!
Devi, your auspicious gaze provides good health, prosperity, happiness and it
destroys enemies, Oh! Matha, you are the mother of the Universe and Lord Hari
who is the Lord of Lords is our father, Oh! Amba, all those living and
non-living creatures in this Universe is originated from you, Oh!
Sarvapavani/purifier of all, if you abandon us there will not be any material
world such as body, home, family, etc..
Oh! Vishnuvaksha Sthalalaye/who dwells on the chest of Lord Vishnu, kindly do
not abandon my children, associates, domesticated animals and treasures. Oh! Amale, kindly do not abandon us to remain
truthful, austere and virtuous, your auspicious
gaze transforms a deprived person into virtuous and honorable, your auspicious
gaze brings fame, good conduct, humbleness, intellect, fearlessness and courage,
therefore Oh! Vishnuvallabhe/darling of Lord Vishnu, Oh! Jagathdhathri, if you
abandon a person all those virtues and fame will leaves instantly, Oh!
Padmakshi, your glories are beyond description even Lord Bhrama is incompetent
to describe your splendor, therefore kindly shower your auspicious gaze always
on us.”
Sage Parashara said “In this way Goddess
Sri Mahalakshmi was eulogized by Lord Indra who has thousands of eyes, on
behalf of all the deities and living beings for the wellbeing of all.”
Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi replied “Oh!
Devesha, I am so pleased at your devotion and praising with various hymns, I am
willing to provide boons.”
Lord Indra said “Oh! Varada/provider of
boons, I shall prostrate before you Oh! Devi, kindly provides a boon and I am
deserved for that you should not abandon three worlds. Oh! Abdhisambhave/originated from the milky
ocean, I shall always eulogize your glories, kindly do not abandon us.”
Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi replied “I am so
pleased at your devotion and recitation of sacred hymns; I shall offer boon
that I will always dwell in the three worlds.
Whoever read or listens to the sacred hymns praising my glories in the
hours of dusk and dawn would be blessed with my eternal presence and I will not
abandon them.”
Sage Parashara concluded “Oh! Maithreya,
in this way, Lord Indra/Devaraja obtained boons from Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi
who was pleased at the recital of sacred hymns.
She is the daughter of Sage Bhrugu who was initiated from the milky
ocean while churning for the nectar of immortality by deities and demons, she
always incarnates for the assistance of Jagathswami/Lord of the Universe, Lord
of Lords/Devadeva, Lord Janardhana, she took the form of Padma when Lord Hari
transformed into Adithya, she took the form of Earth when Lord Hari personified
as Bhargavarama, she embodied as Seetha
when Lord Hari took the form of Lord Raghava, she incarnated as Rukmini when
Lord Hari personified as Lord Krishna, so whenever Lord Vishnu incarnates
Goddess Mahalakshmi also personifies for the assistance of him, either in the
form of deities or in the form of human suitable to the incarnation of Lord
Vishnu.”
“Whoever read or listen to the above
glorious verses, it is definite that their house will be blessed with the
eternal presence of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, and will be free from Alakshmi who
is fond of wickedness and fights.”
The above sacred hymns were recited by
Lord Bhrama praising the glories of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who is the daughter
of Sage Bhrugu, while initiated from the milky ocean. It was later retold by
Lord Indra praising Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi for attaining abundance of boons,
whoever reads or listens to those glorious verses on daily basis would be
blessed with the eternal presence of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi.
