This short hymn comprised of twelve names of goddess Lakshmi found in Vishvasara tantra. Lord īśvara reveals this hymn through this tantra. These twelve names are considered the essence of all names of goddess Lakshmi, or the Kamalatmika form of the goddess (goddess Mahalakshmi in her great wisdom goddess form) as proposed by the Vishvasara tantra.It is to be noted that some of the epithets coincide with the names used to address the goddess in sri sukta, and Lakshmi ashtottara shatanama stotra.
