अङ्गं हरेः पुलकभूषणमाश्रयन्ती भृङ्गाङ्गनेव मुकुलाभरणं तमालम् ।
अङ्गीकृताखिलविभूतिरपाङ्गलीला माङ्गल्यदास्तु मम मङ्गळदेवतायाः ॥ १॥

May the sportive glances of the auspicious goddess (Lakshmi), which, as the she-bee would rest on a Tamála tree adorned with buds, resort to the body of Lord Hari who has the horripilation as the ornament and which have all the riches, be the bestowers of auspiciousness unto me.

मुग्धा मुहुर्विदधती वदने मुरारेः प्रेमत्रपाप्रणिहितानि गतागतानि ।

Sá me shriyam dishatu ságarasambhaváyáh.(2)


May the beautiful and continuous glances of the daughter of the ocean confer on me wealth. Her glances which are caused by her feelings of love and shyness repeatedly go towards and come back from the face of the enemy of Mura even as the she-bee does towards the blue lily.


आमीलिताक्षमधिगम्य मुदा मुकुन्दं आनन्दकन्दमनिमेषमनङ्गतन्त्रम् ।

bhütyai bhavenmama bhujangashayaánganáyáh (3)


May the unwinking eyes of the consort of the Recliner on the serpent (Lord Vishnu) bring prosperity unto me. Having happily reached Mukunda of half-closed eyes. Her eyes filled with the sentiment of love, and which are the source of Bliss become partly closed along with the pupils and eyelashes.

कामप्रदा भगवतोऽपि कटाक्षमाला कल्याणमावहतु मे कमलालयायाः ॥ ४॥

May the continuous glances of the goddess seated on the lotus (Lakshmi) which falling on the Kaustubha-decked chest of the conqueror of Madhu appear to be a garland of sapphires and which give pleasure even to the Lord, bring me welfare.

dhárádhare sphurati yá taãidanganeva
mátuh samastajagatám mahaniyamürtir-
bhadráni me dishatu bhárgavanandanáyáh(6)


May the adorable form of the daughter of Bhrugu and the mother of all the worlds who shines in the beautiful chest of the enemy of Kaithabha resembling dark clouds, like a lightning in the midst of the clouds, yield me all welfare.



प्राप्तं पदं प्रथमतः खलु यत्प्रभावान्- माङ्गल्यभाजि मधुमाथिनि मन्मथेन ।

May those graceful gentle side glances of the daughter of the ocean, by whose greatness cupid gained the first hold on the destroyer of Madhu, fall upon me here.

mindèvarodarasahodaramindèráyáh(3)

May a fraction of the graceful glances of goddess Indirá which resembles the interior of nèlotpala flower, stay a little on me for a while. Her glance confers great bliss even on the enemy of Mura and is capable of bestowing (on her devotee) the pompous position of Indra's sovereignty over all the gods.

इष्टा विशिष्टमतयोऽपि यया दयार्द्र दृष्ट्या त्रिविष्टपपदं सुलभं लभन्ते ।
दृष्टिः प्रहृष्टकमलोदरदीप्तिरिष्टां पुष्टिं कृषीष्ट मम पुष्करविष्टरायाः ॥ ८॥

May those eyes of he goddess seated on te lotus and possessing the radiance the radiance of the interior of the full blown lotus confer upon me the prosperity I wish. It is by Her compassionate looks that devotees and men of wisdom attain to the heaven easily.

Let the clouds, the eyes of the consort of Náráyana, together with the wind, the grace, remove completely the heat of bad deeds and shower the razins of riches over this grief-stricken, poor little bird.
