Aadi-Lakshmi (The primal mother goddess)
Aadi-Lakshmi or "Primeval Lakshmi" a.k.a. Maha-Lakshmi or "The Great Lakshmi," as the name suggests, is a primeval form of Goddess Lakshmi, regarded as the daughter of sage Bhrigu and wife of Lord Vishnu or Narayana. Aadi-Lakshmi is often depicted as the consort of Narayana living with him at his home in Vaikuntha, or sometimes seen as sitting in his lap, and her serving of Lord Narayana is symbolic of her serving the entire universe. She is portrayed as four-armed, holding a lotus and a white flag in her two hands, while the other two are in Abhaya Mudra and Varada Mudra. Variously known as Ramaa or the bestower of happiness, and Indira, holding close to her heart the lotus, a symbol of purity, Aadi-Lakshmi is the first of the eight forms of Lakshmi called the Ashta-Lakshmi.

Oh, darling of the killer of Madhu,
Who is worshipped by all good people,
Who is pretty and sister of the moon,,
Who looks as if she is made of gold,
Who is saluted by all groups of sages,
Who grants salvation,
Who talks sweet words,
Who is praised by Vedas,
Who lives on the Lotus flower,
Who is worshipped by all devas,
Who showers good qualities on people,
And who is the personification of peace,
Please protect me always.
