ॐ हिरण्यवर्णां हरिणीं सुवर्णरजतस्रजाम्।
चन्द्रां हिरण्मयीं लक्ष्मीं जातवेदो म आ वह॥१॥

तां म आ वह जातवेदो लक्ष्मीमनपगामिनीम्।
यस्यां हिरण्यं विन्देयं गामश्वं पुरुषानहम्॥२॥

अश्वपूर्वां रथमध्यां हस्तिनादप्रबोधिनीम्।
श्रियं देवीमुपह्वये श्रीर्मा देवी जुषताम्॥३॥

कांसोस्मितां हिरण्यप्राकारामार्द्रां ज्वलन्तीं तृप्तां तर्पयन्तीम्।
पद्मे स्थितां पद्मवर्णां तामिहोपह्वये श्रियम्॥४॥

चन्द्रां प्रभासां यशसा ज्वलन्तीं श्रियं लोके देवजुष्टामुदाराम्।
तां पद्मिनीमीं शरणमहं प्रपद्ये अलक्ष्मीर्मे नश्यतां त्वां वृणे॥५॥

आदित्यवर्णे तपसोऽधिजातो वनस्पतिस्तव वृक्षोऽथ बिल्वः।

उपैतु मां देवसखः कीर्तिश्च मणिना सह।
प्रादुर्भूतोऽस्मि राष्ट्रेऽस्मिन् कीर्तिमृद्धिं ददातु मे॥७॥

क्षुत्पिपासामलां ज्येष्ठामलक्ष्मीं नाशयाम्यहम्।
अभूतिमसमृद्धिं च सर्वां निर्णुद मे गृहात्॥८॥

गन्धद्वारां दुराधर्षां नित्यपुष्टां करीषिणीम्।
ईश्वरीं सर्वभूतानां तामिहोपह्वये श्रियम्॥९॥

मनसः काममाकूतिं वाचः सत्यमशीमहि।
पशूनां रूपमन्नस्य मयि श्रीः श्रयतां यशः॥१०॥

कर्दमेन प्रजा भूता मयि सम्भव कर्दम।
श्रियं वासय मे कुले मातरं पद्ममालिनीम्॥११॥

आपः सृजन्तु स्निग्धानि चिक्लीत वस मे गृहे।
निच देवीं मातरं श्रियं वासय मे कुले॥१२॥

आर्द्रां पुष्करिणीं पुष्टिं पिङ्गलां पद्ममालिनीम्।
चन्द्रां हिरण्मयीं लक्ष्मीं जातवेदो म आ वह॥१३॥

आर्द्रां यः करिणीं यष्टिं सुवर्णां हेममालिनीम्।
सूर्यां हिरण्मयीं लक्ष्मीं जातवेदो म आ वह॥१४॥

तां म आ वह जातवेदो लक्ष्मीमनपगामिनीम्।
यस्यां हिरण्यं प्रभूतं गावो दास्योऽश्वान् विन्देयं पुरुषानहम्॥१५॥

यः शुचिः प्रयतो भूत्वा जुहुयादाज्यमन्वहम्।
सूक्तं पञ्चदशर्चं च श्रीकामः सततं जपेत्॥

English Translation

1. O Jataveda (Agni), bring to me Lakshmi of golden hue, shining like gold, wearing garlands of gold and silver, shining like the moon, golden-limbed.
2. Bring her to me, O Jataveda, that Lakshmi who never departs, through whom I may find gold, cattle, horses and men.
3. I invoke that Goddess Sri (Lakshmi), preceded by horses, surrounded by chariots, heralded by the trumpeting of elephants. May the divine Goddess Sri be pleased with me.
4. I invoke here Sri (Lakshmi), who smiles gently, who is surrounded by gold, who is moist (compassionate), blazing, satisfied and satisfying, who stands on a lotus, lotus-hued.
5. I take refuge in that lotus-dwelling one, the moon-like, shining, glorious Lakshmi — worshipped by the gods, generous in the world. May ill-luck be destroyed; I choose you.
6. O sun-colored one, born of austerity, the bilva tree is your tree — may its fruits drive away all inner and outer ill-fortune and obstacles.
7. May Devasakha (the friend of the gods) come to me along with glory and jewels. I am born in this kingdom — may he grant me glory and prosperity.
8. I destroy the elder one (Alakshmi) — the one associated with hunger, thirst and filth. Drive away from my home all poverty and lack of prosperity.
9. I invoke here Lakshmi — approached through fragrance, unconquerable, ever nourished, associated with dung (fertility), the controller of all beings.
10. May we obtain the desire of the mind, the true intent, the form of cattle and food. May Sri (Lakshmi) and glory dwell in me.
11. Through Kardama (Lakshmi's son), beings are created. O Kardama, arise within me. Make the lotus-garlanded Mother Lakshmi dwell in my lineage.
12. May the waters create nourishing things. O Chiklita (Lakshmi's son), dwell in my home. Make the divine Mother Lakshmi dwell in my lineage.
13. O Jataveda, bring to me that Lakshmi who is moist (compassionate), lotus-like, nourishing, golden-hued, lotus-garlanded, moon-like, golden.

15. Bring her to me, O Jataveda, that Lakshmi who never departs, through whom I may find abundant gold, cattle, servants, horses and men.

Whoever is pure, becomes disciplined, pours ghee in the sacred fire daily, and continuously chants this fifteen-verse sukta, their desire for Sri (Lakshmi) is always fulfilled.
