Sri Parasara Uvacha:-
Sage Parasara said:-
1.Simhasana gatha   SAkraa samprapya tridhivam puna,
Deva Rajya sthitho Devim  thushtavabja  karaam   thatha.

Lord Indra   went to his throne  in the greatest   heaven again,
And  started pleasing    the Goddess   who is in land of devas.

Indra Uvacha:-
Indra said:-
2.Namami sarva lokaanaam   jananim abdhi sambhavaam,
Sriyam unnidra Padmakshim  Vishnu Vaksha sthale   sthithaam.

I salute   the mother of all worlds, who lives   on the ocean,
Who is cause of wealth  , who has   eyes similar   to the fully open lotus,
And who   stays   on the   chest    of Lord Vishnu.

3,Padmaalayam, padmakaram , padma pathra nibekshanam,
Vande Padma Mukhim  devim  Padma nabha  priyaam.

Salutations to the lotus faced one , Who lives on the lotus . who has a lotus  in her hands ,
Who has eyes  like the leaf   of the lotus  , who is the   darling of he   who has lotus on his belly.

4. Thwam sidhi  thwam swadhaa swaha, vashat thwam , loka pavani,
Sandhya rathri   prabha bhoothi  , medha, sradha, Saraswathi.

You are  the occult power , food of manes  , consort of fire , the Vashat , the purifier of the world,
You are twilight , night  , lustrous day , cleverness , attention and Goddess  Saraswathi.

 5.Yagna vudhyaa , Mahaa Vidhyaa , Guhya vidhyaa,   cha Shobhane,
Athma vidhya cha Devi   thwam  Vimukthi phala   dhayini.

You  are  the knowledge of Yagna  , great knowledge  , secret knowledge  , Oh pretty Goddess,
Oh Goddess you are also the knowledge of the soul   and you   give the blessing of salvation.

6,AAnveshiki   thrayee varthaa Danda neethi sthwameva cha,
Soumya asoumyair jagat roopa thwayaidath  devi   pooritham,

You do   research on three Vedas   and you are  the law  of punishment also,
You are the form  gentle and not gentle world   and  due to you they are  complete.

7,Kaa  thwanyaa   thwaam ruthe   Devi sarva yagna mayaa vapu,
Adhysthe   deva devasya  yogi chithyam  gadhaa bruthaa.

Except you  who can dwell as the ultimate aim of   of all Yagnas ,
As you  dwell  in the  yogic heart of  the god of gods who holds a mace.

8.Thwyaa devi parithyaktha, sakalam bhuvana thrayam,
Vinashta praya bhavath  thwayedhaneem  samedhitham.

If the   entire three   worlds are abandoned by you  ,
They would loose   their soul   and  under your control  they prosper.

9.DAraa puthraasthadha aaagara suhrudhanya  dhanadhikaa,
BHavathyetham maha bhage  nithyam   thwadeekshanaa nrunaam.

Oh great  and divine lady   it is  because  of your glance daily  that a person,
Gets wife , children  homes   friends   , relatives   grains and wealth.

10.SAreerarogyam aiswaryam   ari paksha  akshaya   Sukham,
Devi   thwad drushti drustaanaam  purushaanaam cha durlabham.

Oh Goddess   if your sight   falls on a man  it is not difficult for him,
To get freedom from  sickness   , wealth   destruction of  enemies and pleasure.

11,Thvam mathaa sarva lokaanaam  , Deva devo Hari pithaa,
Thwayaithad   Vishnuna cha Amba jagat vyaptham   characharam.

For all the worlds   you are the mother  and God of Gods Vishnu the father  ,
The moving and non moving things   of this  universe is permeated by you mother and Lord Vishnu.

12,Maa na  kosam   thadhaa   goshtam  maa gruham  ma  parichadham,
Maa sareram , kalathram   cha  thyajedhaa   ,Sarva  pavani.

Oh purifier of all,   if you leave  us all  then  none  of  our treasures  , cows,  homes,
Our possessions   , our body and our wife  , would be under protection.

13.Maa puthraan  maa  suhrud vargam   maa  pasoon   maa Vibhusanam,
Thyajedhaa  mama devasya   ViShnor  vaksha sthalalaye.

Oh Goddess who lives on the chest of our God  Vishnu  , if you leave us out ,
The sons   or friends   or cows  or ornaments   can be owned by me.

14.Sathvena   soucha sathyabhyam   thadhaa   seeladhibir gunai,
Thyajyanthe   they naraa sadhya  sandhyakthaa   ye thwayaa amale.

Oh very pure one , once you forsake a  man at any time  , he is bereft,
Of goodness,  truth  , cleanliness   and good    conduct.

15. THwayaa vilokithaa sadhya seeladhyai    sakalair   gunair,
Kulai iswaryai  scha  yujyanthe   purushaa nirgunaa    api.

If   you glance   at a person  , though   he does not possess  good character  ,
All qualities  like lineage  , good habits   and wealth   would become his.

16.Sa slaghyaa , sa gunee  dhanya   sa kuleena   sa Budhimaan,
SA sooraa   sa cha  vikrantho    yam thwaa  devi nireekshase.

If Any one is looked    at by the  Goddess , he becomes praiseworthy  , one  with good character  ,
One who is wealthy  , well born  , wise  , valorous and powerful.

17.SAdhyo vai  gunyamaayanthi , seelaadhyaa   , sakalaa  gunaa,
Parangmukhi  Jagadathri  yasya thwaam Vishnu vallabhe  .

Oh consort of Vishnu  , Oh mother  of universe  , if you are   not interested,
Immediately    all good   qualities and  good character   abandon him.

18,Na they varnayithum   sakthaa  gunaan   jihvaapi   Vedhasa,
Praseedha   devi   Padmakshi  maa smaam sthyakshi   kadhaachana.

Even Lord Brahma   would not be able to describe your qualities by his toungue,
Oh lotus eyed one  , show mercy on me  , please never ever abandon me.

Sri Parasara Uvacha:-
Sage Parasara told:-
19.Evem sree  samsthuthaa   samyak   praha devi sathakrathum,
Srunvathaam   SArva devaanaam   praninaam   cha  hithe ratha.

When The  Goddess   was prayed  like    this    by the   hundred eyed one  ,
She told, “Please ask me    ,  for the sake of   good of Devas and  all beings.”

Indra  Uvacha :-
Indra   told  :-
20.Varadaa  Yadhi may Devi  , vararho yadhi  chapyaham,
TRilokyam na   thwayaa   thyjyameshaa  may athu vara para.

BY  your grace   , if I am fit to   be granted   a boon,
If   you  never get not interested  in the three worlds , that   would be a divine  boon.

21.Stotrenayasthadaina thwaam sthoshyathya abdhi  sambhava  ,
SA thwayaa  na parithyajyo  dvitheeyoshtu  varo mama.

Oh Goddess who lives   on the sea,   if you are  happy with my prayer ,
Please  never forsake me, This is the second boon requested  by me.

Sreer Uvacha
Goddess Lakshmi   told:-

22.TRilokyam  tri dasa sreshta na  samthyakshyami  Vasava,
Datho  varo mayoyam  they  sthothra aaradhana thushtaya.

Oh Indra , the greatest among the  greatest   devas    of the three   worlds,
Being very pleased with   your prayer and worship I am granting   you this boon.

23.Yascha  saayam thadhaa prathastorananena Manava,
Maam stoshyathi  na sathyaaham  bhavishyami  parang mukhi.

Towards that  man who chants   this prayer   in the morning   and evening,
I would be very pleased  and truly I would never get  not interested  in him.

Parasara Uvacha:-
Parasara    said:-

24.Yevam varam dathou DEvee Devarajaya vai puraa,
Maithreaya  sreer mahabhaga  ,Stotraradhena thoshitha.

Oh Maithreya   In early times   the  great goddess    was  pleased
By the king of Devas    and his  prayer and worship and gave him boons  .
