[Here is a very musical and holy stotra addressed to the divine goddess Lakshmi. It is purported to be written by Lord Shiva himself and occurs in Brahma Purana.]
Adha Dhyamam:
Now Meditation:
Brahmeem Vaishnaveem bhadram shad bujam cha chaur mukheem, Trinethram gadga trisula padma chakra gadha daram. Peethambaram devim nanalankara bhooshitham, Tejapunjadareem sreshtam dhyayeth Bala kumarikam.
Meditate on the young lass who is Brahmi*, Vaishnavi*, Who provides safety, who has six hands and four faces, Who has three eyes, who holds sword, trident, lotus, wheel and mace, Who is the goddess dressed in yellow, Dressed in various decorations, And who holds a shining globe and is the greatest. *The aspect of Shakthi which originated from Brahma/Vishnu
Omkaram Lakshmi roopam Thu Vishnum hrudayamavyayam, Vishnumananda vyaktham hreemkaram bheeja roopineem. 1
She who tells Om, who has the form of Lakshmi, She who is followed by Vishnu; She gives happiness to Vishnu, She who is clear, she who has the shape of the sound Hreem.
Kleem amrutha nandineem bhadram sada athyananda dhayineem, Sreem daithya samaneem shakthim malineem shathru mardhineem. 2
She who is Kleem, she who is the daughter of nectar, She who provides safety, she who always grants great happiness, She who is Sreem, she who controlled asuras, she who is power, She who wears garlands and she who kills her enemies.
Theja prakasineem devim varadam shubha karineem, Brahmeem cha vaishnaveem roudhreem kalika roopa shobhineem. 3
She who gives out light, the goddess who fulfills desires, She who does good things, She who is Brahmee, She who is Vaishnavee, She who is angry, And she who shines in the form of Kali.
Aakare Lakshmi roopam thu uukareshubhakarineem, Makara purusho vyaktho devi pranavamuchyathe. 4
In the letter Aa, there is the form of Lakshmi, In the letter Uu, is she who does all that is good, And in the letter ma, is her clear form of Purusha, And thus the goddess is of the form of the letter Om.
