Sri Stuti (Srivaishnava stotra literature) · Swami Vedanta Desika · 13th–14th century CE
Swami Vedanta Desika, known as the 'Kavi-tarkika-simha' (lion among poets and logicians) of the Srivaishnava tradition, composed the Sri Stuti at Srirangam as a hymn of surrender to Goddess Lakshmi. Tradition relates that he sang it to relieve the poverty of a devotee, and that the Goddess responded by showering a rain of gold, much as Adi Shankara's Kanakadhara Stotram had once done. The hymn celebrates Sri as inseparable from Vishnu and as the gracious purushakara who leads the soul to the Lord's feet.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
Tradition holds that when Swami Vedanta Desika composed and recited the Sri Stuti to relieve the distress of a poor devotee, Goddess Lakshmi was so pleased that she caused a shower of gold to fall, lifting the devotee out of poverty — a grace remembered whenever the hymn is sung for prosperity.

ਅਰਥ:May the glorious Goddess Sri — whose majesty, widely renowned, is beyond all measure; who is the auspiciousness of all auspicious things; who adorns with her own radiance the chest of the conqueror of Madhu (Vishnu); whose greatness is established both by direct experience and by scripture, and is proclaimed in the very name 'Shridhara' — may She, here at Srirangam, cast upon me her gracious sidelong glances.

ਅਰਥ:O daughter of the ocean of milk! May your manifestation protect us — that appearance which arose first (at the churning of the ocean) for those whose merit, gathered through a hundred sacrifices, had ripened. Your glory none has ever seen to its limit, even as the far shore of the ocean is never sighted; you are the very guru consecrated to the protection of the world.

ਅਰਥ:Om Shrim Hrim — salutations to Sri.
