Kamala — 'she of the lotus' — is the radiant goddess of wealth and good fortune, identified with Lakshmi and, in the Tantric system, honoured as Kamalatmika, the tenth Mahavidya and the gentle culmination of the ten wisdom-goddesses. This stotra, traditionally traced to the Vishnu Purana, addresses her as Omkararupini and the very ground of creation, and is widely recited for prosperity, health and protection, its refrain pleading 'Prasanna bhava sundari' — be gracious, O beautiful Mother.
