The one who is riding on a Garuda holding chakra in your hand and enchanting the world of gnana. The one who is worshipped by the seven swaras of music and quenches our attachments to worldly things, Who is the assembly of all auspicious attributes with sacred feet worshipped by all devas, sages and humans. Victory to Santhana Lakshmi, The beloved one of Madhusudhana Protect me forever.
