Origin & Story

Brahmavaivarta Purana (Prakriti Khanda, Adhyaya 39); parallel in Devi Bhagavata Purana (Skandha 9, Adhyaya 42) · Attributed to Indra (Devaraja) · Puranic

When the gods had lost their fortune, splendour and kingdom, Indra approached Goddess Mahalakshmi and offered this hymn of praise. Recounted in the Brahmavaivarta Purana (and echoed in the Devi Bhagavata), the stotra first salutes the goddess with a litany of 'namo namah', then recognises her as the prosperity dwelling in every world, and finally begs her to restore the wealth, power and victory that had been lost. Pleased, Lakshmi granted the gods their boons. The hymn has since become a celebrated prayer for regaining and increasing prosperity.

✦ As told in scripture

The Puranas relate that after Indra and the gods recited this stotra, Mahalakshmi was pleased and restored to them their lost kingdom, splendour and prosperity. On the strength of this, the stotra's own phalashruti promises that one who recites it at the three sandhyas becomes wealthy like Kubera and a great 'king among kings'.

How to Chant Indrakrita Lakshmi Stotram

Repetitions3times

Best TimeThe three sandhyas (dawn, noon, dusk); Fridays; Diwali and Dhanteras

Bathe and sit before an image of Lakshmi-Narayana, light a ghee lamp and offer red or lotus flowers. The stotra's own phalashruti recommends recitation at the three sandhyas (twilight junctures). Begin with the salutations ('Om Namah Kamala Vasinyai...'), contemplate Lakshmi pervading every realm as you recite, and offer the closing petitions ('Rajyam Dehi, Shriyam Dehi...') with sincere surrender. Reciting it for a sustained period (a month or more) with discipline is traditionally held to bring great fortune.

Frequently Asked Questions

This page shows the complete Indrakrita Lakshmi Stotram written in the Sinhala script — the same Sanskrit/Hindi verses, transliterated character-by-character so you can read and chant comfortably. Tap any line (or the ▶ button) to hear it recited aloud.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

It is attributed to Indra, the king of the gods (hence 'Indra-krita', 'composed by Indra'). It appears in the Brahmavaivarta Purana (Prakriti Khanda) and in a parallel passage of the Devi Bhagavata Purana, where Indra praises Mahalakshmi to regain prosperity.

It uniquely describes how the same goddess manifests as Lakshmi in every setting — Mahalakshmi in Vaikuntha, Svarga-Lakshmi in heaven, Raja-Lakshmi in the palace, Griha-Lakshmi in the home, and even as the Earth, Surabhi the cow, Svaha and Svadha. It teaches that without her grace the world is lifeless.

In its closing verses Indra prays directly for kingdom, prosperity, strength, fame, wealth, sons, intellect, enjoyment, knowledge, righteousness, victory in battle and supreme lordship — a complete petition for both worldly success and spiritual good.

The stotra's phalashruti recommends recitation at the three daily sandhyas (dawn, midday, dusk). Fridays, Diwali and Dhanteras are also especially auspicious for this prayer to Mahalakshmi.
