ॐ धनलक्ष्म्यै नमः ।Also known as Dhanalakshmi Stotram
In Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English — with the meaning of every word, and the one syllable most people pronounce wrongly.
What the Dhana Lakshmi Mantra is
The Dhana Lakshmi mantra most often given is the name salutation om dhanalakshmyai namah, 'Om, salutation to Dhanalakshmi', the form of Lakshmi who presides over wealth, and this page prints it with the Sri Dhanalakshmi Stotram, the longer hymn that carries her name. The salutation is the Dhanalakshmi line of the eight-name worship of the Ashtalakshmi, Lakshmi's eight forms, and it recurs in Lakshmi name lists. The stotram, called Dhaneshvari in some printings, is anonymous, and no printing ties it to a Purana or Tantra. It runs to twenty-one verses in the shloka metre. Verses 1 to 6 are a frame: a narrator headed Dhanada reports Parvati's question to Shiva and his reply. Verses 7 to 19 are the hymn proper, a chain of addresses to the goddess as giver of dharma and wealth, as the earth and as the wish-giving cow, with petitions for righteous wealth for the worshipper. Verses 20 and 21 are the phala shruti, and the last line salutes Kubera.
Parvati asks on behalf of the poor
The hymn carries its own setting. Its first heading names the narrator Dhanada, 'the giver of wealth', who describes Parvati going to Shiva, the blue-throated god, and speaking out of compassion. Her request is exact: a ready means that breaks poverty, for three kinds of people, the good, the poor and those who keep a household. Shiva honours the question before he answers it, telling her it suits her to ask, since she is the mother of the world and asks out of pity for all beings. Then, before giving the hymn, he bows to Rama together with Sita, Rama's brothers and Hanuman, so the teaching opens with Shiva as a worshipper of Rama. He vouches for what follows twice in one line, saying his word is truth itself, and names yogakshema, gaining what one lacks and keeping what one has, as what it secures. The goddess he then praises is described in verse 7 as born of a portion of the earth, and in verse 17 as Vasudha, the earth itself, honoured by the Vasus and by Indra; in verse 9 Kubera worships her. The closing verses say the hymn was spoken by a servant of the ruler of the gods, through Shiva's grace. Its final line turns to Kubera, keeper of the Padma treasure, asking that wealth and grain come by his favour.

Spoken by the servant of the lord of the gods through the grace of Parvati's lord: those who recite it with faith, or have it recited with devotion...
सहस्रमयुतं लक्षं धनलाभो भवेद् ध्रुवम् ।
धनदाय नमस्तुभ्यं निधिपद्माधिपाय च ।
भवन्तु त्वत्प्रसादान्मे धनधान्यादिसम्पदः ॥
ஸஹஸ்ரமயுதம் லக்ஷம் தநலாபோ பவேத் த்ருவம் ।
தநதாய நமஸ்துப்யம் நிதிபத்மாதிபாய ச ।
பவந்து த்வத்ப்ரஸாதாந்மே தநதாந்யாதிஸம்பதஃ ॥
సహస్రమయుతం లక్షం ధనలాభో భవేద్ ధ్రువమ్ ।
ధనదాయ నమస్తుభ్యం నిధిపద్మాధిపాయ చ ।
భవన్తు త్వత్ప్రసాదాన్మే ధనధాన్యాదిసమ్పదః ॥
ಸಹಸ್ರಮಯುತಂ ಲಕ್ಷಂ ಧನಲಾಭೋ ಭವೇದ್ ಧ್ರುವಮ್ ।
ಧನದಾಯ ನಮಸ್ತುಭ್ಯಂ ನಿಧಿಪದ್ಮಾಧಿಪಾಯ ಚ ।
ಭವನ್ತು ತ್ವತ್ಪ್ರಸಾದಾನ್ಮೇ ಧನಧಾನ್ಯಾದಿಸಮ್ಪದಃ ॥
സഹസ്രമയുതം ലക്ഷം ധനലാഭോ ഭവേദ് ധ്രുവമ് ।
ധനദായ നമസ്തുഭ്യം നിധിപദ്മാധിപായ ച ।
ഭവന്തു ത്വത്പ്രസാദാന്മേ ധനധാന്യാദിസമ്പദഃ ॥
sahasramayutaṃ lakṣaṃ dhanalābho bhaved dhruvam |
dhanadāya namastubhyaṃ nidhipadmādhipāya ca |

...the verse says, will surely gain wealth by thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. Salutation to you, Kubera, giver of wealth and lord of the Padma treasure; by your grace may riches of wealth, grain and more be mine.
॥ इति श्री धनलक्ष्मी स्तोत्रं संपूर्णम् ॥
॥ இதி ஶ்ரீ தநலக்ஷ்மீ ஸ்தோத்ரம் ஸம்பூர்ணம் ॥
॥ ఇతి శ్రీ ధనలక్ష్మీ స్తోత్రం సంపూర్ణమ్ ॥
॥ ಇತಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಧನಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥
॥ ഇതി ശ്രീ ധനലക്ഷ്മീ സ്തോത്രം സംപൂര്ണമ് ॥
|| iti śrī dhanalakṣmī stotraṃ saṃpūrṇam ||
Thus ends the Sri Dhanalakshmi Stotram.
The syllable people get wrong
In verse 5, śraddadhānānām ('of those who have faith') is often clipped to 'shraddhanaam'. Say all five syllables, shrad-da-DHAA-naa-naam: a doubled d, then an aspirated dh, with the long a's held.
When the Dhana Lakshmi Mantra is chanted
Weekday. Friday
Festival. Dhanteras, and Friday worship of Lakshmi
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
