## INTRODUCTION:- The following abbreviations are used in the 
comments that follow.  1- Narayana Hridayam - NH. (2) Laxmi Hridayam - LH (3)
Vishnu Sahasranama with the commentary of Shri Shankaracharya - VS. (4)
Bhagavad Gita - BG. (5) Shrimad Bhagavatham - BH (6) Lalitha Sahasranamam
- LS. (7) Vivekachudamani of Shri Shankaracharya - VC. (8) Katha Upanishad
- KU. (9) Mundaka Upanishad - MU
LH:- Laxmi Hridayam stotram is unique in that it is coupled with another 
stotram Narayana Hridayam  to form a pair. They are found in the 
Atharva Rahasyam.  They were given out by sage Bhargava.
The final part of NH says that NH is to be recited first, 
to be followed by the recital of Laxmi Hridayam and again the recital of
theNH. This is not to be recited separately as a single piece.
This is to stress the fact that Lord Narayana and Laxmi are indeed one
though spoken of as two different deities.  
NH and LH belong to the category of stotram ##stotram ##. 
The appellation stotram, stuti and stavam all describe a
hymn only. ##stavaH stotra.n nutiH stutiH .## says Amara, the Sanskrit
lexicon. They all narrate the qualities of a deity. ##guNasa.nkIrtanam##
is stotram,  says Shri Shankaracharya in his commentary to Vishnu
Sahasranama.
 NARAYANA HRIDAYAM AND LAXMI HRIDAYAM:- Narayana Hridayam (NH) and 
Laxmi Hridayam (LH) form a pair of very valuable and sacred hymns. NH is the 
shorter one. It consists of only 37 verses.  LH is longer and consists of 108
verses. The word (##hR^idayam##) hridayam is popularly taken to mean the
heart. The word also is used to mean secret, true or divine knowledge.
Being hymns found in the Veda the Narayana Hridayam and Laxmi Hridayam
Stotras are highly efficacious.  They also contain recondite vedantic truths
which may be found in the upanishads, puranas, Bhagavad Gita etc. These
truths are also to be seen in other stotras and in the hymns of later
acharyas.  ##laxmIhR^idayake stotre sarvamanyat prakAshitam |## (NH -
33). So, to describe them as hridayam is very apt. They are, therefore,
very precious. For these reasons they are considered very sacred and
therefore secret - not to be easily given out.  ##gopyametatsadA kuryAt
na sarvatra prakAshayet|## says Narayana Hridayam (34) in its later
part. Because of this restriction these stotras were handed down from a
worthy guru to deserving disciples only. They were not freely available
like Vishnu Sahasranamam.

Only some noteworthy features of this LH stotram could be mentioned
in this brief introduction. The reader is requested to read the comments 
given to the NH (that is available in this site under the headimg VISHNU). 
to get a complete picture of the two stotras that are linked together.

LH:- The first fifteen verses praise Laxmi Devi and offer 
salutations to Her. Since She is the mother of all creation, 
She can bless the devotee with all material wealth. But, 
She is inseparable from the Lord. This is said by saying
that one is within the other.

She is with the Lord at all places. ##

She is also the Self seated in the heart of all beings  She is stated
to be ##sarvabhUtAntarasthA## in the LH. So is not different from
the Lord who also says He is the Self seated in the heart of all beings.
##ahamAtmA guDAkesha sarvabhUtAshayasthitaH .## BG(10-20). 
Thus, it is evident that She is identical with  Narayana and can confer 
all that one may seek including liberation or moksha.  This is said in 
the LH as ##gatyai namo.astu varasadgati dAyakAyai.## 
Further, it is to be noted that if one's accumulated 
karmas stand in the way of one progressing towards liberation
in the form of the "writing on the head" (##lalATa likhitA rekhA##) by
of the creator Brahma, She, being the creator of every thing with name
and form including Brahma, can alter the same and help in his progress.

Here, the word "creator" does not mean She has created something out of
nothing, but only means She has evolved as everything. She has become
Brahma the creator and Vishnu the protector also.
 ##sR^iShTikartrI brahmarUpA goptrI govindarUpiNI.## LS(114)
Shri Vedanta Desika uses this idea in his Shri Hayagriva Stotram (verse 20).
##

tvada~NghrirAjIvarajaHkaNAnA.n bhUyAn prasado mayi nAtha bhUyAt ..##

The great acharya prays to the Lord that the pollen dust of His Lotus
Feet should fall on his head so as to remove the letters written by
Brahma at his birth. He indicates that even gods like Indra salute His
feet with the same idea; that is; the dust of Lord's feet should fall
on their heads and alter their fate as decreed by the scribbling of
Brahma on their head.  Lord Krishna  gives the assurance to Arjuna 
in BG(18-52) that with his mind firmly fixed on Him he will cross
over all difficulties on his spiritual path. ##
machchittaH sarvadurgANi matprasAdAttariShyasi .## 
The LH repeatedly asks for the fulfilment of the
first two of the four goals (viz.) wealth and enjoyment of pleasures of
life got from wealth. But wealth in the hands of one without discretion
can have disastrous consequences. It can lead one away from the spiritual
path and to his downfall. Our scriptures warn one of this and say that
one who hoards wealth without sharing with the needy is indeed a thief
and deserves punishment. BG(VII-XIV-89) ##
yAvad bhriyate jaThara.n taavat svattva.n hi dehinAm .
adhika.n yo.abhimanyeta sa steno daNDamarhati ..##
Keeping this injunction in mind, the devotee asks for wisdom before
seeking wealth and also asks Her to bless the heart with compassion to
enable him to share the wealth liberally with others.
##

dayAsuvR^iShTi.n  kurutA.n mayi shrIH suvarNavR^iShTi.n kuru me kare shrIH ..##

The end portion contains some significant requests.  We saw that the
LH repeatedly asks for good things of life, wisdom etc. But as stated
earlier whatever is got by our own efforts or karma will be finite and so
will not last for long. Our life will continue to have fluctuations. The
better and wiser alternative is to make the Lord stay in our hearts for
ever by having steadfast devotion to Him . Then all auspicious things
will be with us for ever. So, the LH asks for ##shrIshA~NghribhaktiH .##
or devotion to the feet of the Lord first.
##
shrIshA~Nghribhakti.n haridAsyadAsya.n prasannamantrArthadR^iDhaikaniShThAm .
guroH smR^iti.n nirmalabodhabuddhi.n pradehi mAtaH parama.n pada.n shrIH ..##

The saint Kulasekhara also asked - not for the three purushartas - 
 dharma, artha and kama. He says that let events, good or bad,
happen according to karmas he had done. He prays to the Lord to grant
him unwavering devotion to His lotus like feet in this and in future
births. (Mukundamala).##

##

The Vishnu Purana says the same truth by stating that those who may be
bereft of worldly possesions and so termed "poor" in the worldly sense
are really rich if  their hearts have the wealth of love for Shri Hari.
The reason is that Shri Hari also stays in their hearts being  tied with
cords of love.

So, the prayer is to grant before other things, devotion to the feet
of the Lord.  
Another prayer is to being a servant to the servants of
Hari. Our scriptures repeatedly stress the importance of service to
the devotees of the Lord.  
The sage Naradha says in his Bhakti Sutra (No: 39-42) that the company 
of the devotees of the Lord is difficult to obtain. It never fails to produce
beneficial results. It is got by the grace of God only. Thers is no
difference between the Lord and His devotees. So, one should strive
to get it.

labhyate.api tatkR^ipayaiva . tasmi.nstatjane bhedAbhAvAt .
tadeva sAdhyatA.n\, tadeva sAdhyatAm ..##
In Shrimad Bhagavatam we have the story of Lord's
incarnation as Rishaba Deva.  Before renouncing His kingdom and taking
to the forests, He talks to His sons about the value of human life
and how they should work for liberation. Though Rishaba Deva says
He is an incarnation Himself, He advises His sons, not to surrender
to Him, but to seek the company of devotees and serve them saying it
is the doorway to liberation. ##mahatsevA.n dvAramAhuH vimukteH .##
Coming from the mouth of the Lord, as an incarnation, it shows the
immense value of service to the devotees of the Lord. The company of
the devotees removes the impurities in the mind, brings calmness to
the mind. More importantly it instils faith in the statements of the
scriptures and acharyas known as shraddha. ##shraddhA.##.  Only one who
is keenly interested, has controlled his senses and has shraddha can
gain knowledge, says Krishna. BG(4-39). ##shraddhAvAn labhate j~nAna.n
tatparaH sa.nyatendriyaH .## One gets the qualifications required for
acquiring vedantic knowledge. 
Shri Shankaracharya glorifies the association of the devotees in his
Sivanandhalahari by saying it as great as the company of the Lord Himself.
##sAmIpya.n shivabhakti\-dhurya\-janatA\-sA.ngatya sa.nbhAShaNe.##
Once the mind is clear of impurities like greed, anger etc., and also
imbibed noble qualities  from the association of the devotees, 
God sends him a suitable guru. The vedatic wisdom has necessarily to 
be obtained from the guru's mouth.##
tadvij~nAnArtha.n sa gurumevAbhigachChet samitpANiH shrotriya.n

men of wisdom and seek knowledge. BG(4-34).  ##

upadexyanti te j~nAna.n j~nAninastattvadarshinaH..## 
The guru's teachings remove the doubts that may be clouding
the student's mind  and his intellect becomes clear, said here as
##nirmalabodhabuddhiH .## The upanishad says that a person endowed
with discriminating intellect, has controlled his mind and has got
concentration, reaches the end of the very very long road, that is
known as samsara and reaches the supreme goal and becomes free from
all bondages. This is known as liberation and said herein as ##parama.n
padam .## highest abode of Vishnu or Brahman.
##
vij~nAnasArathiryastu manaH pragrahavAnnaraH .
so.adhvanaH pAramApnoti tadviShNoH parama.n padam ..## KU(1-3-9)

The word ## parama.n padam .##  mentioned here is a well known name of
the Lord VS(732).  ##padamanuttamam evam padyate gamyate mumuxubhiriti
padam . yasmAdutkR^iShTa.n nAsti tadanuttamam .## It is the higest place
or goal that is attained by the seekers of liberation. "Attaining" does
not imply going to some far of place like Vaikunta or Kailasa. Liberation
means understanding ones own true divine nature and abiding in it. This
is said here as ##viShNoH parama.n padam .## or the highest place of
all-pervading Brahman, of the supreme Self.  
CONCLUSION. The end portion says the benefits one may get by reciting
the LH. It assures that the Goddess Laxmi will fulfil the desires of Her devotee
and look after him like Her son. There is a story in the Mahabharata to 
illustrate this. Balarama, the elder brother of Krishna, planned to get his
sister Subhadra married to Duryodhana. In the mean time Arjuna happened to 
look at her and was captivated by her bewitching beauty. His mind was set on
marrying her and wanted to talk about his wish to his friend Krishna. But
he was worried at the same time that, if Krishna agreed to help him and 
took steps, it may create a rift between the brothers Krishna and Balarama.
He was at his wit's end and wanted a way out the predicament. He prayed 
to  sage Vyasa who promptly appeared before him. He put his problem before the 
sage and requested his help. The sage taught him LH and asked him to
recite the stotram in the prescence of a lamp lighted with ghee and
assured him that he will succeed in his endeavour. Arjuna followed the
sage's advice, recited the LH with faith and married Subhadra in the end.
 
It will be evident from what is said here that both the NH and LH are valuable 
hymns and like veritable mines of precious gems. An interested reader will be
able to find more gems if he digs deep into them. The greater benefit will
be, that by reciting them regularly, one will develop devotion to Divine
Couple, Lord Narayana and Goddess Laksmi, and reap their abundant grace.
Now follows the stotram LAXMI HRIDAYAM.
