I salute Goddess Lakshmi, who is the Mistress (queen) of the Universe, who is the most beloved of Vishnu, the Lord of Venkatachala, who is fond of ever dwelling on His (Visnu’s) chest, who is the promoter of His forgiveness, who has sprout like hands decorated with lotuses, who is seated on the lotus (or seated in the posture of a lotus, i.e., padmasana) , who shines with virtues as mercy and who is the Mother of the Universe. |
