You are glowing. You are form of earth (vasu+dha = since earth is an embodiment of all wealthy natural ores, elemnets, energy etc. including gold, including all innumerable valuable things in the seas etc---represents prosperity) and you are bearing gold(vasu) [ornaments]. You reside in kamalaa(flower that blooms during day). You are in a divine feminine form having eyes that grant wishes. You are born out of anger towards wicked. Such godess! I am bowing to thee. 4.

You are wearing garland of padmaas/lotus flowers. Oh! goddess you are like a lotus flower spreading scent of padma/lotus. SPECIAL NOTE: =============== There is a reason why the author stresses the importance of the lotus flower so many times repetitively and claims tat Godess Lakshmi is a represented truly and verily in the form of Lotus itself. In Humdu mytology and Yoga Lotus is very sacred and special flower. It represents the divine Yoga naadis/nerves and shat chakras through the spinal cord. The stem represents the " Sushumna Nadi/nerve " that is exactly at the enter of the diameter of the spinal cord and travels all the way from the bottom to the top. The top flower above the stem represents the " sahasrara " chakra on te top of the head. Yogi attains various sddhis/supernatural powers as each " chakra " is released or conquered trough saadhana. That success results in various forms of super natrural achievements (examples: without any formal education can speak any language in te world fluently and can orate and has full command on speeh and poetry etc. Can materialize items out of no where. etc etc. But as sages preach, " these sidhdhis are stumbling blocks in the royal path to salvation " . 7. You are spreading sacred odour (i.e. you are represented throug sacred incense and fragrance). You are so pleasing and are always showering grace. You are having graceful face as if giving bounties. You are shining with myriad lights. I am praying to thee Oh! godess Lakshmi. You have a face that is glowing like a full moon. You are showring peaceful, soothing white light like moon. You are the sister of moon(born along with moon and others while angels and demons churned the ocean) 8. You are having four hands. You are moon -like. You have another name INDIRA. You are so cool as moon. You are creating pleasantness and happiness. You are invigorating. You are (siva) an embodimen tof noble and auspicious things. (sivakari) You are the giver of good things in life. you are an exemplary woman and an ideal wife. 9. You are the purest form. You are the divine mother of the whole world. You are energiging. You are the destroyer of poverty. You are (preeti=love, puskarini=divine pond with sacred water to cleanse boundless sins of devotees) an abundant source of love. You are peaceful and represent stability, peace and calmness. You are clad in white dress and are adorned with white garlands. You cause well-being, prosperity, growth and wealth. (Sreem is the sacred syllable-beejaakshara- representing goddess Lakshmi). 10. You are resplendent as sun and hence you glorify the lives of your devotees (Ba + Kari = glow + giver/cause) You reside under BILWA (tree) (which is endearing to lord SIVA) You are always awarding benefits and boons (vara= boon or anything that is great/salient) that are always on the rise (aarohaam = increasingly) and abudant in quantity, numbers and volume. You are highly acclaimed, reputed and famous in the universe and hence you cause reputation/fame (for those who worship her). You are mother earth (Vasundhara-this name is used second time here by the author- explained earlier). You are complacent of good or bad of devotees and as great forgiveness. [another way we can mean- " udaara " = shresta i.e.- highest quality + " anga " = body-parts, meaning se has great and healthy body]. You are dynamic and ever moving from place to place like a deer. Meaning, goddess Lakshmi is very difficult to be pleased and even if she blesses one, she always can turn things upside down provided one does not maintain continuity in bhakti/devotion and dedication to Her Lotus feet. (haemamaalineem) You are adorned with golden garlands (author repeated this name here second time). 11. You are the giver of wealth and food grains. You are nothing but the ultimate success (siddhi) or ever readiness due to fulfilment. You are specially soft and kind hearted towards ladies/women (straina -> stree = woman) and cause/give good and desirable things. (nrupa+vaesma+gata+aanandaam) You feel happy by entering the Emperor's(nrupa) house(vesma). [You dwell in emperor's palaces....meaning you are personified by the geity and prosperity of emperors's a token of which being an example like possessing palaces etc.] You are goddess Laksmi's form which bestows boons and gives gold / riches. 12. Not only bestowing good,you are personification of good virtues. You are encircled by golden aura You are daughter of ocean-God. You give victory and in fact you are victory yourself. You are goddess with good omens and who bestwos them on all. You reside in lord Vishnu's chest( heart). 13.You are consort of vishnu. You are with blissful eyes. You are always coupled (take refuge in) with NARAAYANA(VISHNU). You dismantle poverty and will ward off /avoid all calaamities. 14. Oh! goddess navadurgaa!(nava = 9 forms of, durga) Oh! gooddess mighty kaalee! Oh! the one embedded with qualities of trinity of Gods brahma,vishnu,and siva You have knowledge of past, present,and future You are bhuvanaeswari (the lord of all buvana=loka=worlds/cosmos/universe).
