Prologue:- Siddhalakṣmī is a very fierce and wrathful aspect of the Divine Mother holding
various weapons intended to destroy all evil and remove karmic afflictions, to help us attain
material and spiritual progress. She is also referred to as Mūla Pratyaṅgirā, and worshipped in
the Śrī kulā tradition as Pratyaṅgirā Devi and as Siddhalakṣmī in the Kālī kulā/tradition. She is
an ugra devata (very fierce deity) and initiation is required for Her mantras. This hymn is for
removing all types of miseries and bestowing prosperity and wealth, including the birth of
children, removal of malignant diseases and for general development, peace of mind and
happiness. All sins and bad karmas will vanish in due course of time, if one recites with sincere
and utmost devotion.
Obeisance to Lord Gaṇeśā. May He remove all hurdles and help us achieve full benefits of this
stotram/hymn!

embodiment of the imperishable heart of Lord Viṣṇu, Who is the static Super consciousness
from whom She emerges.
The bī a (seed) mantra hrīm, which is the Mahāmāyā bī a, is the power of the cosmic illusion and
represents all triads. It is the cause of Creation, Preservation and Destruction. The Divine Mother
Lakṣmī is the embodiment of the unfathomable bliss of Lord Viṣṇu. She alone can take us to
Him.
कलीं अमृतानसन्दनीं र्द्ां िदात्यानन्ददासयनीम् ।
The letter ‘a’ (अ), which is the first alphabet and vowel of the Sanskrit language, is embodied in
the form of the Divine Mother Lakṣmī. The letter ‘u’ (उ), is the embodiment of the Static Super
consciousness Viṣṇu. The letter ‘m’ (म), is the unfathomable pure bliss or Brahman, Who is a
combination of both the Static and Dynamic Super consciousness, Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī, also called
4
Śiva and Śakti. The Devī Praṇava, meaning Her root syllable and sound is therefore the
combination of these three letters ‘a’ ‘u’ ‘m’, forming ‘Aum’ or ‘om’ (ॐ)– the Śabda
Brahman meaning the primordial sound manifested by the Dynamic Super consciousness
Lakṣmī. In the context of this stotram, we can call the Śabda Brahman tself as the Devī Praṇava.
The Śakta/Śakti Praṇava is the bī a syllable īm (ई)ीँ . We may also interpret this verse/śloka to be
combining both the Praṇava-s om and īm - Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī and bestowing auspiciousness.

Obeisance to Śakti the One who heralds auspiciousness in all aspects, the consort of Śiva and the
cause for the accomplishments of all tasks. May the protection of the triads (Creation,
Preservation, Destruction, all three guṇas, etc.) manifesting Gaurī, Who is pure energy and the
blissful Nārāyaṇi, remain with us at all times!
The Divine Mother Śakti has manifested Herself as many aspects to manage the manifested
Creation. Her first form is the triad manifesting Gaurī, Who is the cause for Creation,
Preservation and Destruction of the entire Creation. The second form is Vaiṣṇavī, the power/śakti
of the omniscient Lord Viṣṇu. She is the One who makes Him omniscient.

Thus ends the hymn called the Siddha Lakṣmī Stotra , the remover of all types of financial
misery and bestower of immense wealth. This hymn is extracted from the conversation between
Lord Viṣṇu and Lord Īśvara (Śiva) recorded in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa.
