More songs on Lakshmi by Purandara Dasa will be provided later

These following along with bhAgyada are believed to be composed by him for the vrata. I have heard sikkil gurucaraN render a song by jaganmOhana viTThala (??) on mahAlakshmi, just that the words don't come to mind right now.

Enu dhanyaLO lagumi - tODi - miShracApu
pAlisenna ShrI mahAlakshmi - ShrI/kalyANI - Adi

Ksheerabdhi Kanya - Kurinji - Annamaiyya
Sri Bhargavi - Mangala Kaisiki - Dikshithar
Mangala devataya - Dhanyasi - Dikshithar.
Haimavathim - Hemavathy - Dikshithar.
Nee irangayenil - Atana - Papanasam Sivan

On top of my mind, these came up. I am very eager to know more songs.

Om Shri Mahalakshmyai Namaha.

Mahalakshmi jaganmata in sankarabharanam Papanasam Sivan and
ksheerabdhi kannike shri mahalakshmi-ragamalika, Purandaradasa(in which he asks Mahalakshi whose consort she is going to become, naming the deities of many temples)

Ok, under this heading(lakshmi kalyANam), add the following songs:
lakshmi kalyANam - maNirangu - ravikiraN
ShObhAna vennirE (lakshmi ShObhAnE) - vAdirAja tIrtha

dEvi ramE - vasantA
rAmE vasatu - sAranga
ShrI mahAlakshmIm bhajEham - paraShu
ShrI ramA dEvi mAmavatu sadA - ShankarAbharaNa
dEvi kamalAlayE - garuDadhvani

I think these are the five pancaratnams on lakshmi by vAsudEvAccArya.

Is the song 'hymavathIm' on goddess Lakshmi or Parvati? Hymavathi refers to Parvathi-daughter of Himavan.

thanks// its going wonderful!!!! can someone help me with songs on kanakadhara story and devi mahatmeya and ashta lakshmi??

vs_manjunath · Post by **vs_manjunath** » 31 Jul 2008, 11:01

kanakadhAra story & related slokas must be available in Adi Sankar's works.

The slokas starting from "angam harE" have been sung by Smt MSS and are available commercially.
The story relates to Adi Shankara went to a house and enquired for bhiksha...........and the poor lady of the house struggled very hard to locate something to be given to Shankara...........she finally got a dried gooseberry which was offerred to Shankara.Adi Shankara felt pity on the conditions of that poor house and prayed Goddess Lakshmi with Kanaka Dhara Slokams and immediately Golden Goosberries rained ..........I am sure scholars in this forum will give much better description than what i have given I think.

thathwamasi · Post by **thathwamasi** » 31 Jul 2008, 14:10

Kanakadhara stotram is just unbelievably too good. Adi Shankara was supposed to have been 5 years old when he sung this extempore. Its just way too good. Especially the first few verses where he describes how Ambal keeps looking at Hari.

Dikshithar always had the habit of gently reminding mythological instances in his songs and not write entirely on them. In Sri Varalakshmi Namasthubyam, he would have mentioned "Kanakadhare", a term he hasn't used in any other songs of his. So I think that is the only song in which he has referred to the Kanaka dhara episode. And infact, there is a huge list of songs with me where he has mentioned so many instances in his songs. I am at work now and don't have it on me.

M. S. Ramaswamy, in his books "The Ambrosia of Muthuswamy Dikshitar" (2 volumes) has mentioned numerous incidents.

One that comes to mind is in Siddhi Vinayakam (Charamara/Shanmughapriya). There is an indirect reference to the story of Krishna, the syamantaka jewel and the incident about not seeing the moon on Vinayaka Chathurthi. Krishna prays to Vinakaya to rid himself of the curse of being wrongly blamed for stealing the syamantaka mani.

It is proving to be very intense and grooming to be a great discussion. i would like to get lyrics of
varalakshmi namosthuthe- gowri manohari- mysore vasudevachar
sri mahalakshmi bajeham paras ,,
the lakshmi pancharatnam ,,

purandaradasar's
enu dhanyalo lakumi
pallasena mahalakshmi
ksheerabdi kannike mahalakshmi
aravindalaye taye

it is going to be of great help if i am provided with these lyrics

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 01 Aug 2008, 19:46

IMO, kSIrAbdhi kannikE cannot truly be classified here - because all it does is pose the question to mahAlakSmI - Who's (yArigE) bride (vadhu) will you (nInu) become (AguvE)? - and then goes on to describe the various divine forms of nArAyaNa that are her choices....Now, bhAgyada lakSmI on the other hand is spot on.

vAdirAjA'a lakSmI SobhAnE is a LONG set of verses describing lakSmI svayamvara - starting with her origin (udisidaLu) from the milky ocean.....and the verses end in the lovely refrain asking for lakSmI to bless and protect (salahALI) brides (vadhu) and grooms (varara) everywhere (sarvatra).

vatsalya · Post by **vatsalya** » 01 Aug 2008, 19:56

i agree, but the theme i am framing has episodes of lakshmi's consort, lakshmi kalyanam and so on. if i can go thru that, i can derive a better meaning. can you pls help me sir..

Also Bombay Sisters have sung some of these songs as part of Varalaksmi Vratam in Tamil( one side containing vAdhyar's recitation to perform the pooja and the other side containing the songs sung by Bombay Sisters)

What's fascinating about the story of lakshmI kalyANa is that she made the condition that she would only wed one that does not desire her at all, which was impossible as she held everyone at her svAvambara spellbound with her infinitestimal beauty.

Sundar Krishnan · Post by **Sundar Krishnan** » 11 Mar 2011, 12:39

1) I would like to know the author-composer of Mahalakshmi Ashtakam :
Namaste-astu MahA-mAye Shri-Peethe Sura-Poojite …

I have referred to the foll sites, but still …
http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Mahalakshmi_ashtakam
http://www.chesapeakepagans.org/Gatheri ... kshmi.html
http://www.carnatica.net/lyrics/slokabank.htm -> Ignore the Pwd Dlg Box twice ! -> http://www.carnatica.net/lyrics/mahalakshmiashtakam.doc

2) Is Adi ShankaraCharya the composer of the 17-verse Lakshmi Narasimha Karavalamba Stotram ?

In the 6th song of her “Devi Shree Mahalakshmi” CD, Sheela seems to have sung only selected Verses.
Also, when compared to the sequence order of the Verses 1 to 17 as given in http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Sri_Lakshm ... ravalambam, she seems to have sung the verses in a criss-crossed order : 1, 2, 8, 15, 3, 13, then directly to the last 17th Verse, (and then, the song Shri Laksmi VarAham in Abhogi, Adi by MD).
Can we attribute any reason for the order : 15, then 3, then 13th Verse ?

3) Lakshmi Shobhane :
shobhAnavennire suraroLu shubhaganige ...
The name VadirAja appears as follows : in the Verse 108 (vAdirAjamunige), 109 (vAdirAjEMdra muni), 110 (vAdirAja rAya rachisida padavidu).

In the 1st page of this thread-link, in Post #6, kmrasika has referred to him as VadirAja tIrtha

Normally, we associate the word “Muni” to a very ancient period like say, thousands of yrs ago.
But http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadirajatirtha says that he lived in the recent 15th Century : 1480 – 1600.

So, how are “tIrtha”s (like for eg, another Narayana Teertha (1610 - 1745)) differentiated from “Muni”s ?

4) Wrt rshankar’s Post # 39, as I heard Sheela sing “dEvI shrI mahAlakSmi dInapAlE rakSisenna”, the 1st song in the CD, it appeared to me that it may be “थ”, so arthadE ?? I still don't know the meaning.

Thanks in advance.

[quote="Sundar Krishnan"]1) I would like to know the author-composer of Mahalakshmi Ashtakam :
Namaste-astu MahA-mAye Shri-Peethe Sura-Poojite …

I think in the phalasruthi it's mentined that the composer is INDRA.
