 SUBHASHITHANI:289

Aishwarya Lakshmi is one of the forms of Mahalakshmi. She is the epitome of the form of goddess Lakshmi who bestows aishwarya (opulence) in all forms, shapes and sizes. Her luxuries and abundance are not only limited to material luxuries and abundance but the inner bliss too. –Lakshmi tantra

सम्पत्कराणि सकलेन्द्रियनन्दनानि
साम्राज्यदानविभवानि सरोरुहाक्षि ।
त्वद्वन्दनानि दुरिताहरणोद्यतानि
मामेव मातरनिशं कलयन्तु मान्ये ॥

Kanaka dharaa stotram-Sri Shankara

Sampath karaani sakalendriya nandanani,
Samrajya dhana vibhavani saroruhakshi,
Twad vandanani dhuritha haranodhythani,
Maameva matharanisam kalayanthu manye.

Giver of wealth, giver of pleasures to all senses,
Giver of the right to rule kingdoms,
She who has lotus like eyes,
She to whom Salutations remove all miseries fast,
And my mother to you are my salutations.

ऐश्वर्यस्य समग्रस्य धर्मस्य यशसः श्रियः।

ऐश्वर्यं यदशेषपुंसि यदिदं सौन्दर्यलावण्ययो

रूपं यच्च हि मङ्गलं किमपि यल्लोके सदित्युच्यते ।

तत्सर्वं त्वदधीनमेव यदतः श्रीरित्यभेदेन वा यद्वा

श्रीमदितीदृशेन वचसा देवि प्रथामश्नुते ॥ ७॥Sristavam ( Kuratazvaan)

O mother Lakshmi devi ! Whatever opulence that is seen with the people of the world, and whatever ‘Soundarya ( beauty of a part ) or ‘Lavanya’ ( beauty as a whole )that is seen, whatever good that is present anywhere, all of them are just an expression of your boundless grace. It is no surprise therefore, that all of them get respect by associating with the word ‘Shri’ or ‘Shrimad’.

ऐश्वर्यं शङ्करादीश्वरविनियमनं विश्वतेजोहराणां
तेजस्संहारि वीर्यं विमलमपि यशो निस्पृहैश्चोपगीतं।
अंगासंगा सदा श्रीरखिलविदसि न क्वापि ते संगवार्ता
तद्वातागारवासिन् मुरहर भगवच्छब्दमुख्याश्रयोऽसि।।Narayaneeyam-1.10
Due to your prosperity and ownership of the worlds, due to your influence over others including the great Lord Shankara, your radiance that outweighs every other power in the Universe, your unblemished fame that is lauded even by the most dispassionate people, the existence of Sri or Lakshmi Devi with you, and because you have the knowledge of everything while renouncing all the pleasures, You, Oh enemy of Mura, are the perfect meaning of Bhagavan. ( Narayana Bhattadri )
