Mookabika Ashtakam | Sung by Kavalam Srikumar |


Namasthe Jagaddhatri Sad Brahma roope,
Namasthe haropendra dhathradi vandye,
Namasthe prapanneshta danaika dakshe,
Namasthe Mahalakshmi, kola puresi. 1

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura,
Salutations to the mother of universe, the essence of existence,
Salutations to her who is worshipped by Siva, Indra and Brahma,
Salutations to her who fulfills wishes of surrendering devotees.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura,
For it is well known that Lord Brahma creates and Lord Vishnu cares, And Lord Shiva destroys at the end but it is you, with look of mercy, Who is the personification of power, whom they worship.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura,
For you pervade the entire universe through your illusion,
You playfully bear in your womb, the entire universe,
And you exist in all the beings in the form of intelligence.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura,
For you are being approached by your devotees,
For getting blessed by your greatly merciful look,
Downwards to them and they call you Hey Mahalakshmi.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura,
For those men without great expression and
Downgraded dumb people, pray earnestly for your grace,
And thou make them talented and wise, Oh Mookambika.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura
For you are the supreme spirit which stands alone,
You created the entire world as if it is a play,
And in spite of that people call you Gowri and Kumari.

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura
Your form Sri Chakra, which is king of all known holy symbols,
Emanated from the very great splendour of Shiva and Vishnu,
And you reside in the lotus heart of the great Yogi called Kola rishi.

Nama Shankha chakraabhayaabheeshta hasthe,

Nama suvarna varne, prasanne saranya,
Namasthe Mahalakshmi, kola puresi. 8

Salutations to Mahalakshmi, who is Goddess of Kolapura
Who holds in her arm the holy conch and the holy wheel,
Who by her hand removes fear and fulfills desires,
Who is the holy mother who sits on the lotus pose,
Who is the colour of the gold and is merciful to her devotees.

Idam stotra rathnam krutham sarva devair,
Hrudithwam samadhayalakshmyashtakam ya,
Padhen nithyameva vraja yoga lakshmim,
Sa Vidyaamcha sathyam bhavathya prasadaath. 9

After learning this gem of the prayer by the devas,
And fixing the mind on this octet on Lakshmi,
And reciting them in the holy temple of Lakshmi,
Would bless one with education, without any doubt.
