This Indrakshi sthothra was made known to the world by Purandara Rishi and has been written in Anushtup meter. The presiding deity for the sthothra is Indrakshi Durga. The kernel of the chant is Lakshmi, the strength behing the Manthra is Bhuvaneswari and its axis is Bhavani. I am chanting this manthra to get the blessings of Indrakshi.

I slute Indrakshi by the thumb, Mahalakshmi by the ring finger, Maheswari by the central finger, Ambujakshi by the pointing finger and Kathyayini by the little finger and Koumari by the inside and outside of my palm.
