Translation
The Mahalakshmi Ashtakam is an eight-verse Sanskrit hymn from the Padma Purana, composed by Lord Indra. Each verse ends with "Mahalakshmi namostu te" and praises her as the great divine illusion, destroyer of demons, remover of all sins, bestower of siddhi and liberation, the primordial energy, and the supreme mother of the universe. Reciting it once daily destroys great sins, twice gains wealth, and thrice destroys enemies.
