(I meditate on Sri Devi Lakshmi in the early morning) 1: Whose side Glance towards Madhusudana (i.e. Lord Vishnu) is a Repository of Love, 2: (And) Who is Lakshmi, Whose side Glance towards the World increases all Wealth (both inner and outer) which are based upon Purity, 3: (O Mother) May you Shine within the Lotus of my Heart in the form of the fullness of Knowledge arising from Atman, 4: And guide me in this World in all my efforts; directing towards the paths which are fit for me in the long run.
