O all-knowing fire-god (Agni), would you kindly propitiate

Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity, one whose body has the golden

color; one who is decked with gold and silver garlands; one whose

sari is yellow colored and one Whose face is like the full moon and

whose eyes bless humanity with soothing grace. O Jata Veda, the fire-

god, kindly tell Her of our supplications.

imperishable. Health, friends, knowledge, everlasting peace and
