॥ दोहा ॥ मातु लक्ष्मी करि कृपा, करहु हृदय में वास । मनोकामना सिद्ध करि, पुरवहु मेरी आस ॥
॥ चौपाई ॥ सिन्धु सुता मैं सुमिरौं तोही । ज्ञान बुद्धि विद्या देहु मोही ॥ तुम समान नहिं कोई उपकारी । सब विधि पुरवहु आस हमारी ॥ जय जय जगत जननि जगदम्बा । सबकी तुम ही हो अवलम्बा ॥ तुम ही हो घट घट की वासी । विनती सुनहु हमारी दासी ॥
क्षीरसिन्धु सुता तुम कहलाओ । श्री नारायण संग समाओ ॥ सब जग जननी रूप तुम्हारा । तुमसे ही जग का उजियारा ॥ तुम बिन कोई काज न होवे । जो तुम रूठो सुख सब खोवे ॥ तुम ही विष्णु प्रिया कल्याणी । सब देवों ने महिमा जानी ॥
रिद्धि सिद्धि की दाता तुम्हीं । भाग्य विधाता जग की तुम्हीं ॥ सकल मनोरथ पूरण करती । संकट क्लेश कलेवर हरती ॥ जिस घर में तुम वास करन्ती । सुख सम्पति सोई घर फलन्ती ॥ दुर्गुण दूर भगावन हारी । सदगुण हृदय बसावन हारी ॥
धन वैभव सुख सम्पति दाता । मोक्ष प्रदायिनि हे जगमाता ॥ दीन दयाल कृपा बरसाओ । भक्त जनों के कष्ट मिटाओ ॥ कमलासन पर सोह भवानी । त्रिभुवन पूजित कल्याणी ॥ हाथ अभय वर मुद्रा धारी । जग का पालन करती महतारी ॥
जो यह पाठ करै चित लाई । तापर होत कृपा अधिकाई ॥ दरिद्रता कहुँ निकट न आवै । अष्ट सिद्धि नवनिधि फल पावै ॥ प्रातः समय उठि जो नर गावै । सब सुख भोगि परम पद पावै ॥
॥ दोहा ॥ त्राहि त्राहि दुख हरनि, मात कृपा करि आज । सदा रहो मम गेह में, पूरण कीजो काज ॥
