Translation:

Â

(1-2) Invoke for you O Agni, the Goddess Lakshmi, who shines like gold, yellow

in hue, wearing gold and silver garlands, blooming like the moon, the embodiment

of wealth. O Agni! Invoke for me that unfailing Lakshmi, blessed by whom, I

shall win wealth, cattle, horses and men.

Â

(3-4) I invoke Shri (Lakshmi, who has a line of horses in her front, a series of

chariots in the middle, who is being awakened by the trumpeting of elephants,

who is divinely resplendent. May that divine Lakshmi grace me.

Â

I hereby invoke that Shri (Lakshmi) who is the embodiment of absolute bliss; who

is of pleasant smile on her face; whose lustre is that of burnished gold; who is

wet as it were, (just from the milky ocean) who is blazing with splendour, and

is the embodiment of the fulfillment of all wishes; who satisfies the desire of

her votaries; who is seated on the lotus and is beautiful like the lotus.

Â

(5-6) I resort to that Lakshmi for shelter in this world, who is beautiful like

the moon, who shines bright, who is blazing with renown, which is adored (even)

by the gods, which is highly magnanimous, and grand like the lotus. May my

misfortunes perish.

Â

Â I surrender myself to Thee, O Thou resplendent like the Sun! By Thy power and

glory, plants like the bael tree have grown up. may the fruits thereof destroy

through the grace of all inauspiciousness rising from the inner organs and

ignorance as well from the outer senses.

Â

(7-8) O Lakshmi! I am born in this country with the heritage of wealth. May the

friends of Lord Siva (Kubera, Lord of wealth and Kiriti, Lord of Fame), come to

me. May these (having take their abode with me), bestow on me fame and

prosperity. I shall destroy the elder sister to Lakshmi, the embodiment of

inauspiciousness and such evil as hunger, thirst and the like. O Lakshmi! Drive

out from my abode all misfortunes and poverty.

Â

(9-10) I hereby invoke Lakshmi (Shri), whose (main) avenue of perception is the

odoriferous sense (i.e., one who abides mainly in cows); who is incapable of

defeat or threat from anyone; who is ever healthy (with such virtuous qualities

as truth); whose grace is seen abundantly in the refuse of cows (the cows being

sacred); and who is supreme over all created beings.

Â

O Lakshmi! May we obtain and enjoy the fulfillment of our desires and our

volitions, the veracity of our speech, the wealth of cattle, the abundance of

varieties of food to eat! May prosperity and fame reside in me (thy devotee)!

Â

(11-12) Lakshmi! You have progeny in Kardama. (Hence) O Kardama, may you reside

in me. Make Mother Shri with garlands of lotuses to have Her abode in my

(ancestral) line. may the (holy) waters create friendship (they being of

adhesive nature). O Chiklita (progeny of Shri)! Reside at my home; and arrange

to make Divine Mother Shri stay in my lineage!

Â

(13-14) Invoke for me, O Agni, Lakshmi who shines like gold, is brilliant like

the sun, who is powerfully fragrant, who wields the rod of suzerainty, who is

the form of supreme rulership, who is radiant with ornaments and is the goddess

of wealth.

Â

Invoke for me O Agni, the Goddess Lakshmi who shines like gold, blooms like the

moon, who is fresh with anointment (of fragrant scent), who is adorned with the

lotuses (lifted up by celestial elephants in the act of worship), who is the

presiding deity of nourishment, who isÂ yellow in colour, and who wears

garlands of lotuses.

Â

Invoke for me O Agni, that Goddess Lakshmi, who is ever unfailing, being blesses

by whom I shall win wealth in plenty, cattle, servants, horses and men.

We commune ourselves with the Great Goddess, and meditate on the consort of

Vishnu; may that Lakshmi direct us (to the Great Goal). Om May there be Peace,

Peace, Peace

The branches of ramana kendram are selling audio & video CDs of the

" srichakra archana paddhati in Ramana Sannidhi " that is being

carried out in Matrubhuteshwara Temple (the samadhi of Algammal-

Mother of Bhagavan).

The procedure is very simple, lucid and any person who is initiated

in srisuktam, trishati can follow this method.

The sriyantra worship at Matrubhuteshwara Temple is done with

srisuktam. The kumkumarchana is done with samputikara of every

rik of srisukta with every 20 names of trishati namavali. So, with

all 15 riks of srisukta, an entire round of 300 names are chanted.

For example:

the 1st rik of srisukta:

hiranyavarnAm....ma avaha ...1

first 20 names of Trishati ending with namah

the 2nd rik of srisuktam:

second 20 names of trishati ending with namah

and so on till the last rik of Srisukta and last 20 names of Trishati

With this we get the benefit of samputikarana of panchadasi mantra

with srisukta which is a very potent form of kumkumarchana. So, the

people who are not initiated in Khadgamala, can follow this

procedure of samputikarana of Srisukta and Trishati as a part of

their daily chakra puja and kumkumarchana.

With regards,

sriram
