Maha lakshmir bhaven nithyam,
Prasanna varada shubha. 77
If this is read thrice daily,
It would ensure destruction of great enemies,
And Mahalakshmi the goddess would daily,
Be pleased , would bless and would do good.
Ithi Sri maha purananthar gatha,
Mahalakshmi sthavam sampoornam.
Thus ends the poem of praise on Maha Lakshmi,
Which occurs in the Maha Purana.
