INTRODUCTION BY SRI. V. SADAGOPAN

This stabakam consists of 13 Slokams and celebrates the MangaLa devatai, MahA Lakshmi as the embodiment of auspiciousness. The power of Her glances to confer immense and instant wealth on whomever it falls is saluted here. Those who are not fortunate to be blessed with such glances stew in poverty and misery (alakshmi sampannA: bhavanti).

Adi Sankarar in his SrI KanakadhArA stotram salutes Her as the MangaLa devatai and points out to the power of Her auspicious glances:

angIkrtAkhila vibhUtir-apAngalIlA |
mAngaLyadAstu mama mangaLadevatAyA: ||

In SrI VishNu PurANam, Indran seeking his lost aiSvaryam praises Her MangaLa drshIi and states that even the lowliest one with no auspicious guNam to speak off is blessed immediately with limitless aiSvaryam and sat guNams once Her auspicious glances fall on him. nirguNa Purushan gets transformed immediately into SadguNa Purushan:

tvayA avalokitA: sadya: SIlAdyai: sakala guNai:
dhanaiSvaryaiSca yujyante purushA nirguNA api

Periya PirATTi is a MangaLa devatai and Her siblings are Candra, sandal tree, turmeric, gold, pearl, sugarcane, rice sapling, banana tree, Kalpaka tree, KAmadhenu pasu, CintAmaNi gem, Kaustubham, apsaras damsels, nectar (amrtam), Lotus and two hundred and one other auspicious entities as per MahA BhAratam.

She is the best among all auspicious entities that came out of amrta mathanam. Only two amangaLa vastus arose at first from the churning of the Milky Ocean: hAlahAla visham and jyeshThA Devi (mUdevi).

The most auspicious One who arose from the Milky Ocean and who was sought after fondly by Sriman nArAyaNan for residence on His broad chest is this MangaLa mUrti and Feminine nectar (PeNNamudu), SrI Devi. She confers MangaLam on Her Lord and is worshipped as:

triloka Sriyai nama:, jaya Sriyai nama:, veda Sriyai nama:, brahma Sriyai nama:

Because of Her mangalatvam, She is recognized as ashTa Lakshmi-s, aparAjita Sakti, aprameya Sakti, jn~Ana-kriyaA-iccA Sakti-s.

Her auspiciousness, saulabhyam, dayA and vAtsalyam and boon granting power are the reasons as to why She is saluted as “sarvAbhIshTa phalapradAyayi nama:”. From SrI sUktam to SrI lakshmi sahasram, there have been many stotrams about Her mangaLatvam and ananta kalyANa guNams. Her saundaryam melts the heart of Hari, Her Lord (harim drAvayati) and hence She is saluted as haridrA in amara koSam.

The poet salutes Her mangaLa rUpam in the 12th Slokam with the words “manye rUpam mangaLAnAm mangaLam”. She is viSva mangala svarUpi. She confers auspiciousness (MangaLam) on any one and any thing which is blessed to have Her sambhandham. aparNA (PArvati) becomes suparNA because of her sambhandham with MahA Lakshmi. aparNA means a creeper without leaves or buds. PArvati serves as an attendant performing kaimkaryams to MahA Lakshmi and that sambhandham transforms Her into a suparNA (sarvANI sarvamangaLA). Therefore this stabakam is named MangaLAkya (MangaLa) stabakam praising the power of Her glances and the unique saubhAgyams arising from sambandham with Her.
