She – The Mahalaxmi - 2 Poem by C. P. Sharma

She, the fair complexioned with
Beautiful built
Snow white breast and waist
Sapphire thighs, lotus feet
Four spread out arms
Sits poignantly on full bloomed lotus
Wearing red saree embroidered
With golden threads
With her spectacular garland
And divine ornaments
She carries lotus in her two hands
Cascading gold coins from the third
And nectar pot in the fourth
Two elephants on her either side
Owl her ride
I bow to her
She, the active energy
Embodiment of beauty,
Grace, purity and fertility
Her four hands represent
Righteousness, desires,
Wealth and salvation
Elephants symbolize
Work and strength,
Rain and prosperity
Riding over owl symbolises
Keeping under control
Blindness and greed
After acquiring wealth
I bow to her for her grace
