Dear aasthikas,
After a few posts on health, I commence again some stotras. This is a prayer to Goddess Soundaravalli, as Sri. Mahalakshmi is called in some Temples.
There are several temples in Tamil Nadu with Soundaravalli as the presiding Goddess. It is mentioned here that she lives in “Sri saila” or the mountain of Lakshmi. There is one Soundaravalli temple in Azhagar Malai. Possibly this prayer is addressed to that Goddess. I am not sure about it as the Original “Sri Saila” is a Shiva temple.
As per the Phalasruthi, those who recite this regularly will get good health,name ,fame,and a place in heaven after their passing away.
Let us pray to Sri.Mahalakshmi.
Again this is translated by my mentor Sri. P.R.Ramachander.

I surrender at the feet of Soundaryavalli,

I surrender at the feet of Soundaryavalli,
Who is completely filled with mercy from head to feet,
Who has a moon like face which shines with copper red lips,
Who likes to stay in the mountain of Lakshmi, And who is full of the milk of mercy.
9.Nerogadhaam nirupamanayacha prathapa,
SAmpth yuthaam nigama sidha dasa tha aapthadhaam vai,

Disease free life , matchless fame ,
And wealth and reach the world of god after their death ,
And due to the blessing of Soundarya Valli would become auspicious.
