त्वत्स्पृष्टमेव सकलं शुचितां लभेत त्वत्त्यक्तमेव सकलं त्वशुचीह लक्ष्मि । त्वन्नाम यत्र च सुमंगलमेव तत्र श्रीविष्णुपत्नि कमले कमलालयेऽपि
tvatspṛṣṭameva sakalaṃ śucitāṃ labheta tvattyaktameva sakalaṃ tvaśucīha lakṣmi | tvannāma yatra ca sumaṃgalameva tatra śrīviṣṇupatni kamale kamalālaye'pi
ହେ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ମି! ତୁମେ ଯାହାକୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କର, ସେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପବିତ୍ରତା ଲାଭ କରେ; ତୁମେ ଯାହାକୁ ତ୍ୟାଗ କର, ସେ ଏଠାରେ ଅପବିତ୍ର ହୋଇଯାଏ। ଯେଉଁଠି ତୁମ ନାମ ରହେ, ସେଠିଏ ସତ୍ୟ ସୁମଙ୍ଗଳ—ହେ କମଲେ, ଶ୍ରୀବିଷ୍ଣୁପତ୍ନୀ, କମଲାଳୟେ।
