Kanakadhara Stotram — Word-by-Word Meaning

She who clings to the body of Hari, adorned with goosebumps of joy, like a female bee to a tamala tree covered with buds — may the playful sidelong glance of that goddess of auspiciousness, who has accepted all divine wealth, grant me blessings. She who, enchanted, repeatedly sends shy, love-filled glances toward the face of Murari, like a garland of bees around a great lotus — may she, born from the ocean, bestow wealth upon me. That glance of Indira (Lakshmi), which is capable of granting the position of Indra over all the gods, which gives even greater joy to Vishnu himself — may even half that glance rest upon me for just a moment, dark as the interior of a blue lotus. She who approaches the half-closed-eyed Mukunda with joy, he who is the root of bliss, unblinking, under the spell of love — may the glance of the wife of the serpent-reclining Lord bring me prosperity. She who shines on Madhujit's (Vishnu's) chest near the Kaustubha gem, like a garland of sapphires — may the garland of wish-fulfilling sidelong glances of the lotus-dwelling goddess bring me auspiciousness. She who sparkles on the dark-cloud-like chest of Kaitabha's enemy (Vishnu), like lightning on a rain cloud — that venerable form, mother of all worlds, daughter of Bhrigu — may she grant me blessings.
