Carnatic Compositions - The Essence and Embodiment
shrI - Lakshmi Ths krithi by Mysore Vasudevacharya is all about Sree Maha Lakshmi and what a devotee can pray for from her. It is well known that Lakshmi has multiple synonyms of her name and one of them is Varalakshmi which means that one that blesses devotees with boons. In pallavi, he first requests her to protect him and describes her as the consort of Sree hari, who is as good as gold and who is easily reachable for her devotees. In anupallavi, he starts to beg her to provide a home, happiness, food, money and wealth. In charanam, he describes her powers and abilities. She is the one who provided the path for Brahma and Eswara, one who permeates the entire universe, one who is enchanted by lotuses, she is the mother of Brahma, she is the most beautiful, one who enjoys music, and one has gained a lot of laurels, decked with garlands of gems, one who is in the heart of lord vishnu (father of Manmadha) and one who bestows good things. Just as the wealth must always be shared, Maha Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, is kind and very generous. Therefore, she is known to bestow everybody with all kinds of wealth, especially during this Navaratri season. Wish you all a happy Navaratri and may the Tridevi (three goddesses) bestow you all with knowledge, strength and wealth!
