Origin & Story

Kanakadhara Stotram (verse 2 of the descriptive verses), composed by Adi Shankaracharya · Adi Shankaracharya · 8th century CE

The Kanakadhara Stotram was composed by the young Adi Shankaracharya when a poor woman offered him her only gooseberry as alms. Touched by her generosity, he praised Lakshmi in a series of verses describing her glance; this verse pictures the ocean-born Goddess casting loving looks upon Vishnu. Pleased by the prayer, Lakshmi rained golden gooseberries upon the woman's home.

✦ As told in scripture

Tradition holds that as Shankaracharya recited the verses of the Kanakadhara Stotram, golden amla fruits fell like rain upon the destitute woman's house. This verse, with its imagery of bees and the blue lotus, is part of that prayer celebrated for manifesting Lakshmi's abundance.

Mugdha muhurvidadhati vadane murareh Prematrapapranihitani gatagatani Mala drishormadhukariva mahotpale ya Sa me shriyam dishatu sagarasambhavayah

Meaning:Sweetly bashful, again and again she casts upon the face of Murari (Vishnu) her glances filled with love and modesty, moving to and fro. That garland of the eyes of Lakshmi — she who was born of the milk-ocean — is like a row of bees hovering over a great blue lotus. May that glance bestow prosperity upon me.
