Śrī Lakṣmī Gāyatrī (Devī-Gaṇeśa Saṁhitā variant)
ॐ श्रीदेव्यै च विद्महे
पद्महस्तायै धीमहि
तन्नो लक्ष्मीः प्रचोदयात्॥
oṁ śrīdevyai ca vidmahe
padmahastāyai dhīmahi
tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt
We meditate upon Śrī Devī, who holds the lotus in her hand; may Lakṣmī inspire our minds.
The Śrīdevī–Padmahastā Lakṣmī Gāyatrī honors Lakṣmī in her serene, lotus-bearing form — the embodiment of grace, beauty, and auspicious presence. It emphasizes her role as a gentle bestower of blessings rather than a cosmic power or consort alone.
Instead of requesting wealth, the mantra seeks inner illumination and clarity. It aligns the devotee with sattvic abundance, where peace, devotion, and spiritual refinement naturally give rise to lasting prosperity.

ॐ पद्मालयायै विद्महे
पद्माक्ष्यै धीमहि

padmākṣyai dhīmahi
tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt
For meditating on Lakṣmī dwelling in the lotus, with lotus-like eyes; ideal for inner peace and divine beauty.
- Lotus represents detachment, as it grows in mud yet remains untouched.
- Padmālakṣmī thus embodies spiritual wealth, purity amidst worldly life, and inner blossoming of wisdom and beauty.
Rājya Lakṣmī Gāyatrī (For Success & Leadership)

viṣṇu-priyāyai dhīmahi
tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt
Om — Let us contemplate Sāmarājya Lakṣmī,
Let us meditate upon the beloved of Viṣṇu,
May Lakṣmī inspire and illumine our intellect.
This mantra specifically honors Sāmarājya Lakṣmī, the form of Lakṣmī associated with:
- Sovereignty (sāmarājya) — the rulership over self and society
- Stability, dharma, nobility, and natural authority
- Inner qualities of wise leadership, responsibility, and virtue
Unlike the Padmahastā or Padmākṣī Gāyatrīs, which focus on beauty and serenity, this mantra centers on dignified rulership, command, and societal upliftment.
To invoke Lakṣmī as the giver of royal fortune, status, and influence, especially helpful for leaders or those in authority.
