She who sits on a lotus , she who has very broad hips ,

She who has eyes like lotus leaf,

She has a majestic belly button, She who is bent by heavy breasts,

She who wears clean cloths,

She who is Lakshmi , who is being sprinkled water from golden pots

by the divine elephants,

And she who daily has lotus like hands, may live in my house 

for giving auspicious things.
