“O wife of Lord Vishnu, O internal energy of Lord Vishnu, you are as good as Lord Vishnu Himself, for you have all of His qualities and opulences. O goddess of fortune, please be kind to me. O mother of the entire world, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.”~Srimad Bhagavatam 6.19.6
“I offer my obeisances unto the lotus-born mother of all beings, unto Sri the Goddess of fortune, having full-blown lotus-like eyes, and reposing in the bosom of Vishnu.”~Lakshmi-Stuti
“May the Goddess Saraswati protect me. She is fair like the jasmine-colored moon, and whose pure white garland is like frosty dew drops. She is adorned in radiant white attire, on whose beautiful armrests the veena, and whose throne is a white lotus. She is respected by all the demigods. Please remove my weariness, sluggishness, and ignorance.”~Saraswati Vandana
