I salute
Goddess Lakshmi, who is the Queen of the Universe,
who is the most beloved of Vishnu, the Lord of
Venkatachala, who is fond of dwelling on His (Vishnus)
chest, who is the promoter of His forgiving nature,
who has hands decorated with lotuses, who is seated
on a lotus in the posture of a lotus (called padmasana),
who shines with virtues like mercy and who is
the Mother of the Universe.
