Sri Maha Lakshmi sthavam

Sri Maha Lakshmi sthavam
(The poem of praise on Mahalakshmi)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

( This is a rare stotra on Maha Lakshmi and was found in a Malayalam book published Reddiar press , Trivandrum in the year 1939. The book was edited by Brahma sri Vittala sasthrigal. Except for this small book, I have not been able to get reference to this great prayer. From the nyasa slokas, it is obvious that it was initially recited by sage Narada. Another very interesting fact about this book is that the famous Mahalakshmi Ashtakam occurs as a part of this great stotra(slokas 43-50))

Om asya Sri Maha Lakshmi Maha manthrasya Narada Rishi , Devi Gayathri chanda Sri Mahalakshmir devatha , Sreem Bheejam, Hreem Shakthi, Kleem Keelakam , Mamopartha Sarva duritha upasamartham , SArvbheeshta sidhyartham , Maha Lakshmi sthava japam karishye, SRaam ithyadshi Shadangam. Bhoorbhuvaswarom ithi Dig Bandha.

Om for the great chant on Mahalakshmi , the sage is Narada, The meter is devi Gayathri, The goddess addressed is Mahalakshmi , the root is sreem, the power is hreem, the nail is kleem,
This Mahalakshmi sthava is being chanted by me for getting wealth and putting down all my sufferings and fulfillment of all my wishes. Do touch the six parts by the ma
manthra sraam. Let all the world be tied so that I can chant this manthra.

The one who does not have sons would get sons,
Who are devoted to Vishnu and would have a long life span.

Hatha bandhur labeth bandhum,
Dhana brushto dhanam labeth,
Keerthi heeno labeth keerthim,
Prathishtam cha labeth dhruvam. 75

He who does not have relations will get relations,
He who does not have money will get money,
He who does not have fame will get fame,
As well as recognition without doubt.

Yeka kalam paden nithyam ,
Maha papa vinasanam,
Dwikalam ya paden nithyam,
Dhana dhanya samanvitha. 76

He who reads it once daily,
Would get all the great sins destroyed,
He who reads it two times a day,
Would get wealth as well as grains.

Trikalam ya paden nithyam,
Maha sathru vinasanam,
Maha lakshmir bhaven nithyam,
Prasanna varada shubha. 77

If this is read thrice daily,
It would ensure destruction of great enemies,
And Mahalakshmi the goddess would daily,
Be pleased , would bless and would do good.

Ithi Sri maha purananthar gatha,
Mahalakshmi sthavam sampoornam.

Thus ends the poem of praise on Maha Lakshmi,
Which occurs in the Maha Purana.
