Origin & Story

Skanda Purana, Vaishnava Khanda, Venkatachala Mahatmya (Adhyaya 9) · Attributed to the gods (Sarvadeva / Devas) · Puranic

In the Venkatachala Mahatmya of the Skanda Purana, which glorifies the holy hill of Tirumala (the abode of Lord Venkateswara), the gods offer this hymn of praise to Goddess Lakshmi. With graceful salutations they adore her form, beauty and divinity, and pray for her merciful glance. Because of its scriptural origin and its link to one of the most revered shrines of Vishnu, the stotra is cherished as a potent prayer for Lakshmi's grace and prosperity.

✦ As told in scripture

The Venkatachala Mahatmya holds that Lakshmi resides eternally on Vishnu's chest and on the sacred hill of Tirumala; the stotra's closing verse declares that whomever the goddess favours with her glance is raised to the rank of Brahma, Rudra and Indra — a promise of the highest fortune to her sincere devotees.

How to Chant सर्वदेवकृत लक्ष्मीस्तोत्रम्

Repetitions3times

Best TimeFriday mornings, Diwali, Dhanteras, or daily during the evening lamp offering

Sit before an image of Lakshmi (or Lakshmi-Narayana), light a ghee lamp and offer red or lotus flowers; the goddess here is described dwelling in a bilva grove, so bilva (bael) leaves are a fitting offering. Recite the seven verses slowly, dwelling on the 'namo namah' salutations and the closing prayer for her compassionate glance. Reciting three times is customary on Fridays and festival days; once daily is excellent for ongoing practice.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

It is a short, beautiful hymn to Goddess Lakshmi composed by the gods (devas), found in the Skanda Purana within the Venkatachala (Tirumala) Mahatmya. It praises Lakshmi as sustainer of the worlds and consort of Vishnu and seeks her gracious glance.

It appears in the Skanda Purana, Vaishnava Khanda, Venkatachala Mahatmya (chapter 9), where the gods offer this praise to Lakshmi. It is therefore closely associated with the sacred hill of Tirumala-Tirupati, the abode of Lord Venkateswara.

The concluding verse says that those upon whom Lakshmi casts her compassionate glance attain the very status of Brahma, Rudra (Shiva) and Indra — that is, the highest fortune and lordship. It is a prayer to be seen by the goddess with grace.

Lakshmi is traditionally associated with the bilva (bael) tree, and the verse honours her as 'Bilva-vanastha', dwelling in the bilva grove. Offering bilva leaves along with red and lotus flowers is therefore especially fitting during this recitation.
