Such a marvelous mantra. Every mantra is a mantra worth praying for. And only when we pray to Lakshmi Devi, She is Lakshmi Devi, the Mother of the whole Universe. And what can She give? She can give two things. She can give praise, worldly prosperity, worldly wealth, or Shreya's ultimate knowledge of Brahman.
