लक्ष्मीं क्षीरसमुद्रराजतनयां श्रीरंगधामेश्वरीम्।

I bow to Goddess Lakshmi, the daughter of the King of the cosmic Ocean of Milk and the sovereign lady of the divine abode of Srirangam.
The one served by all the divine women as her maidens, the radiant light that illuminates all the worlds.
Who, by her gentle and sidelong glance, gives the glory to God Brahma, Indra, and Gangadhara (Shiva)
The one who is the mother of the three worlds, the one born from the lotus and the beloved of Lord Mukunda (Vishnu), My salutations to that Goddess Lakshmi.
