Meaning:
Salutations to Varalakshmi! who bestows fortunes, whose feet are like the lotus, graceful at every step. Please protect me.

Who is beloved of Vishnu-father of Cupid, who shines like molten gold. Whose effulgence is equal to that of a million suns. She is easily accessible to devotees and protects those who are devoted to her. She is adorned with a garland of lotus. She is the paragon of virtue and sports in the heart of KEshava (Krishna).

On the Friday before the full moon of the month of ShraavaNa (Aug-Sept), she is worshipped by Suvaasinis. She wears a garland of gems offered by Guruguha and celestials. She is an expert in protecting the afflicted and resembles a shower of gold. She is an expert at differentiating emotions, is worshipped by Saraswati. She gives liberations (mOksha) and bestows desired boons.
