Стихи
Just as a dark female honeybee hovers lovingly over a blossoming Tamala tree laden with buds, so does Goddess Lakshmi's glance rest upon the dark, thrilled form of Lord Hari. May the playful sidelong glance of that supreme Goddess of Auspicious Fortune, in which all universal wealth and majesty resides, bestow boundless prosperity upon me! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 1
Repeatedly directed towards the face of Murari (Vishnu), alternating between shy modesty and overflowing love, Her line of glances flits like a honeybee drawn to a grand blooming blue lotus. May that radiant glance of the Ocean-Born Goddess bestow divine prosperity upon me! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 2
Capable of easily bestowing the sovereign sovereignty of celestial Indra across the universe, and creating immense bliss even in the heart of Lord Vishnu, may that half-opened sidelong glance of Goddess Indira (Lakshmi), resembling the deep blue interior of a blooming blue lotus, rest gently upon me for a single moment! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 3
Beholding Lord Mukunda (Vishnu) with His eyes half-closed in divine ecstasy, drinking in that root of supreme bliss with unblinking love and tender pupils, may the bashful, loving gaze of the Consort of Him who reclines upon the serpent Shesha grant me lasting abundance and fortune! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 4
Shining upon the broad chest of the slayer of Madhu, which is already adorned by the radiant Kaustubha gem, Her stream of dark glances gleams like a necklace of sapphires. Fulfilling the desire even of the Supreme Lord Himself, may that stream of sidelong glances of Lotus-Dwelling Lakshmi bring me supreme auspiciousness! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 5
Like a flash of dazzling golden lightning flashing amidst dark, moisture-laden rainclouds, Her presence gleams upon the dark, tender chest of the enemy of Kaitabha. May the venerable, worshipful form of the Mother of all the worlds, the beloved daughter of Sage Bhrigu, bestow all blessings upon me! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 6
By whose sovereign influence alone Kamadeva (the god of love) obtained his exalted power even over the auspicious Lord Vishnu, the conqueror of Madhu—may that gentle, languid, and grace-filled half-glance of the Daughter of the Ocean fall upon me here! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 7
Impelled by the breeze of unconditional compassion, may the raincloud of the eyes of Lord Narayana's Beloved pour down a torrential shower of golden wealth upon me—a helpless, dejected, fledgling bird—dispelling forever the scorching summer heat of past sinful karmas! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 8
By whose glance moistened with compassion, seekers of spiritual wisdom easily attain the highest celestial realms of heaven—may that glance of the Goddess seated upon the lotus seat, radiant like the interior of a blossoming lotus, bestow upon me the fulfillment of all noble desires and nourishment! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 9
She who is Saraswati (the goddess of speech) in creation, Lakshmi (consort of Garuda-bannered Vishnu) in preservation, and Shakambhari or Parvati (beloved of crescent-crested Shiva) in cosmic dissolution—salutations unto that ever-youthful Divine Mother, the eternal partner of the supreme Guru of the three worlds! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).
Стих 10
Salutations to You as Shruti (the Vedic revelation), the mother of the auspicious fruits of righteous deeds! Salutations to You as Rati (divine delight), the ocean of delightful virtues! Salutations to You as Shakti (supreme power), residing in the hundred-petaled lotus! Salutations to You as Pushti (cosmic nourishment), the beloved of Purushottama Vishnu!

O Goddess seated on a lotus, holding blooming lotuses in Your hands, adorned with dazzling white garments, fragrant unguents, and garlands!

Стих 15
Bathed in the pristine celestial waters of the heavenly Ganga poured from golden pitchers held in the trunks of the elephants of the eight directions—I bow at dawn unto the Mother of all the worlds, the Queen of the Lord of all realms, the Daughter of the Ocean of Nectar! (Священный стих Канакадхара Стотры).

История и Значение
Согласно «Шанкара Дигвиджае», «Канакадхара Стотра» была сложена юным Ади Шанкарачарьей во время сбора подаяния в Калади. Глубоко тронутый нищей женщиной, которая со слезами отдала ему последнее, что имела — сухой плод амлы, юный подвижник воспел двадцать один стих богине Махалакшми, вызвав золотой дождь из плодов амлы над ее хижиной.

Автор: Adi Shankaracharya · Classical Philosopher-Saint · 8th century CE, Kaladi (Kerala)
A philosopher and monk born in Kaladi, Kerala, credited with systematizing Advaita Vedanta (non-dual philosophy) and establishing four monastic seats (mathas) across India. Alongside his commentaries on the Upanishads and Brahma Sutras, he composed numerous devotional hymns to various deities in classical Sanskrit.

The Legend of the Amla Offering
In Kalady, Kerala, young Shankara encountered an impoverished woman who wept because she had nothing to offer except a single dried amla fruit. Her pure, self-effacing generosity so moved Shankara that his prayer compelled Mahalakshmi to shower her home with gooseberries of solid gold.
The Metaphor of the Dark Bee (Verse 1)
Verse 1 uses the striking poetic imagery of a female honeybee ('bhringanganeva') flitting around a dark Tamala tree to represent Lakshmi's dark, loving sidelong glances hovering over Lord Hari's blue chest.
Synthesis of the Triple Goddess (Verse 10)
Verse 10 identifies Mahalakshmi as Saraswati in cosmic creation, Lakshmi in sustenance, and Parvati/Shakambhari in dissolution, embodying the complete unified Mother Principle.
The Raincloud of Grace (Verse 8)
In verse 8, Shankara humbly likens himself to a fledgling chataka bird parched by the scorching heat of past karmas, praying for the monsoon raincloud of Lakshmi's mercy to shower golden grace.
Advaita in devotion
Though celebrated as the foremost philosopher of non-dual Advaita Vedanta, Shankara shows in the Kanakadhara Stotram that non-dual realization can blossom into tender devotion. Verse 21 closes by promising that whoever recites it at the three twilights becomes equal to Kubera.
