[This is a beautiful song on goddess Lakshmi]

You hold the divine ( " vara " ) veena in your soft ( " mrudu " ) hands ( " paani " ). You

are the queen ( " raani " ) of the omniscient. Your eyes ( " lochana " ) are like the

lotus petals ( " vanaruha " ). Your curly ( " suruchira " ) tresses ( " veni " ) resemble

the bees ( " bambhara " ). Devas ( " Sura " ) worship ( " nuta " ) your auspicious form

( " kalyaani " ). You have ( " lola " ) unequaled ( " nir-upama " ) virtuous ( " shuba " )

qualities ( " guna " ). You ( " sheela " ) give ( " prada " ) endless ( " narathi " ) victory

( " jaya " ). You are Ranganaayaki, the consort ( " priya " )of the Ranganatha

( " varadaa " ). You grant ( " daayaki " ) the boons ( " phala " ) desired ( " vaanchita " ) by

your devotees. O Mother ( " janani " ) of Brahma, who is seated on a lotus

( " saraseeja-asana " )! Victory ( " jaya " ) to you.

Geetham:
