I bow to Lakshmi — daughter of the king of the Ocean of Milk, sovereign mistress of Srirangam; She whom all the consorts of the gods serve as handmaidens, the single lamp-flame that illumines every world; She by whose gracious gentle glance Brahma, Indra and Shiva, the bearer of the Ganga, obtain their glory; the lotus-born matriarch of all the three worlds, the beloved of Mukunda (Vishnu).
