Shri Suktam

Sri Sukta, also called Sri Suktam, is a Sanskrit devotional hymn (set of shlokas Sloka-s) revering Sri as Lakṣmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity and fertility. Sri Sukta is recited, with a strict adherence to the Chandas, to receive the goddess' blessings. The hymns are found in the Rig Vedic khilanis, which are appendices to the Ṛkveda that probably date to pre-Buddhist times.
