Author: Unknown (traditional)
This verse belongs to the cherished tradition of Lakshmi pranama-mantras offered at the close of Her worship. By saluting the Goddess as the giver of boons to all the gods and the beloved of Vishnu, and by asking for the same refuge She grants to Her surrendered devotees, the worshipper rises above the mere request for wealth to seek the Mother's supreme grace. It is widely recited during Lakshmi puja and Diwali.
