Meaning
Names wrapped in seed syllables
In place of Om, each name here is preceded by two bija syllables, Hrim Klim. Hrim is usually described as the seed of the Goddess and Klim as the seed of attraction, and their presence is why the list is called rahasya, secret: it sits closer to a mantra than to an ordinary ashtottara. It opens with Hrim Klim Mahalakshmyai Namah and closes with Hrim Klim Sri Mahalakshmyai Namah. The text given here counts 105 names.
An alphabet of Lakshmis
The names run in groups by first letter. The ma group gives Mantralakshmi, Mayalakshmi, Medhalakshmi and Mokshalakshmi; the ka group Kantilakshmi, Kirtilakshmi and Kavyalakshmi. Then come Gajalakshmi, Grihalakshmi, Dhanalakshmi, Dhenulakshmi, Natyalakshmi and Pushpalakshmi, on through va, sha, sa and ha, ending with Adhyalakshmi, Ayurlakshmi and Arogyada. Most groups close with a name meaning she who gives: Matiprada, Kalaprada, Jayaprada, Nidhiprada.
Wealth in many forms
The list does not keep Lakshmi in the treasury. She is Sasyalakshmi in the harvest, Dhenulakshmi in cattle, Nadalakshmi in music, Vaglakshmi in speech and Shrutilakshmi in the Veda. Familiar names such as Varalakshmi sit beside rare ones like Dvipalakshmi, Nabholakshmi and Sainyalakshmi.
Families use it for Friday kumkumarchana, Varalakshmi Vratam and Deepavali puja.
