oṃ jaya lakṣmī mātā

Victory to Mother Lakshmi. Hari, Vishnu and the Creator are described as ever honouring the Divine Mother.

You are praised through the great forms of the Divine Feminine—Uma, Rama/Lakshmi and Brahmani—and as Mother of the universe; the sun, moon and sage Narada contemplate and praise you.

In the pure protective form of Durga you grant happiness and prosperity; those who meditate on you seek spiritual accomplishment and material well-being.

You are present even in the deepest realms, giver of auspiciousness, revealer of the fruits of action and saviour from the ocean of worldly existence.

Where your grace dwells, noble qualities flourish; difficult things become possible and the mind gains confidence.

All the resources needed for sacred offerings, clothing and nourishment are seen as gifts sustained by your abundance.

O beautiful abode of auspicious qualities, born from the Ocean of Milk, the fourteen treasures themselves are connected with your manifestation.

Whoever sings this arati of Mahalakshmi with devotion invites joy into the heart and prays for the removal of wrongdoing.
