But you are omniscient in your mind, Maa Laxmi.)
Roop chaturbhuj karkey dharan
Kasht moor ab karhu nivaran
(Assuming your found-handed form, oh Mother,
Please relieve us of all sorrows and pain immediately.)
Kehi prakar main karaun badhayee
Gyan buddhi mohi nahi adhikayee
(In what ways do I praise you, oh Maa Laxmi,
I have insufficient knowledge and wisdom to be able to do so.)
Doha
Trahi trahi dukh haarini, haro baygi sab traas
Jayati jayati jay Lakshmi, karo Shatru ka nash.
Ramdas dhari dhyan nit, vinay karat kar jor
Matu Lakshmi das pai, karhu daya ki kor
(Save us! Save us! Oh Remover of Sorrows, Destroy all evils which trouble us,
Victory, victory, victory to you, oh Maa Laxmi, please destroy our enemies,
Leading my mind daily through meditation, I focus hard on you,
Oh Maa Lakshmi, please shower your kindness on this devotee of yours.)
