Ya Devi Sarvabhutesu Lakshmirupena Samasthitha
Namastasyai Namashtasyai Namashtasyai Namo Namaha.

I salute that goddess, who is present as Lakshmi in
Every being in the world, Over and over and over.

These lines are from the Devistuti of the Markandeya Purana, describe the essence of Lakshmi.

The Sri Sukta hymn

Om Hiranyavarnam Harinim
Suvarnarajatasrajam
Candram Hiranmayim Lakshmim Jatavedo Ma – A Vaha (SS, Verse 1)

Here’s one who knows the Vedas, Agni is entreated to bring Lakshmi—who is described as being golden in color, dressed in golden colored garments, adorned with resplendent gold and silver ornaments, and shining with the luster of the moon—to the worshipper.

Close your eyes, sit straight and see the mother. Your eyes will be bedazzled by the radiance of the sun and the moon reflected from the Goddess. As always, the mother wants you be pure of heart.
