Origin & Story

Sri Suktam, verse 2 (Rigveda Khilani, appendix to the Rigveda) · Vedic Rishis · Ancient (Vedic era)

The Sri Suktam is among the most ancient hymns invoking Goddess Sri (Lakshmi), appended to the Rigveda as a Khila (supplement). Following the Vedic practice of offering through fire, it calls on Agni (Jatavedas) to bring Lakshmi near. This second verse deepens the appeal of the opening, asking for the Lakshmi 'who never departs' — that prosperity, once invited, may remain forever.

✦ As told in scripture

The Sri Suktam is central to the Lakshmi Homam performed at temples across India, including the famously prosperous Tirumala Tirupati shrine. The prayer for the Lakshmi 'who never departs' (anapagaminim) is held to be especially powerful for securing lasting wealth and removing the recurring loss that afflicts the unfortunate.
