Dhanya-Lakshmi (Food – one who eliminates hunger)


The second of the eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi or Ashta-Lakshmi is named after "Dhanya" or food grains - full of natural nutrients and minerals required for a healthy body and mind. On one hand, Dhanya-Lakshmi is the giver of agricultural wealth and, on the other, the all-important nourishment for human beings. With her divine grace, one can be ensure abundance of foods - all year round. Dhanya-Lakshmi is shown as having eight hands adorning green garments, and carrying two lotuses, a mace, a sheaf of paddy, sugarcane, and bananas, while the other two hands are in Abhaya Mudra and Varada Mudra.


Ayi Kali Kalmasha Nashini Kamini
Vaidhika Roopini Veda Maye
Ksheera Samudh Bhava Mangala Roopini
Mantra Nivasini Mantra Nuthe
Mangala Dhayini Ambuja Vasini
Dheva Ganarshrita Pada Yuthe
Jaya Jaya Hey Madhusoodhana Kamini
Dhaanya Lakshmi Jaya Palaya Maam


Victory and victory to Danyalakshmi
Oh darling of the killer of Madhu,
Who destroys bad effects of kali yuga,
Who is most desirable god,
Who is personification of Vedas,
Who is pervaded by the Vedas,
Who arose out of milk,
Who is the form of all that is good,
Who lives in the sacred chants,
Who lives on the lotus flower,
And whose feet is worshiped by devas,
Please protect me always
