Om, salutations to the Great Goddess Lakshmi, whose seed-sound is Shreem.

पद्मासने पद्मकरे सर्वलोकैकपूजिते । नारायणप्रिये देवि सुप्रीता भव सर्वदा ॥

O Goddess seated on the lotus, lotus in hand, worshipped uniquely by all the worlds — beloved of Narayana, be ever pleased with us.

Kanakadhara Stotram, attr. Adi Shankaracharya (8th c. CE)

अङ्गं हरेः पुलकभूषणमाश्रयन्ती भृङ्गाङ्गनेव मुकुलाभरणं तमालम् । अङ्गीकृताखिलविभूतिरपाङ्गलीला माङ्गल्यदास्तु मम मङ्गलदेवतायाः ॥

May the playful sidelong glance of the auspicious Goddess — who rests upon Hari's body the way a female bee settles on a blossoming tamala tree, and who has taken on herself every divine glory — grant me good fortune.
