Sri Lakshmi Narayana Ashtakam Lyrics in Hindi:
श्रीलक्ष्मीनारायणाष्टकम्
आर्तानां दुःखशमने दीक्षितं प्रभुमव्ययम् ।
अशेषजगदाधारं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ १॥
अपारकरुणाम्भोधिं आपद्बान्धवमच्युतम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ २॥
भक्तानां वत्सलं भक्तिगम्यं सर्वगुणाकरम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ३॥
सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां सर्वलक्षणसंयुतम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ४॥
चिदचित्सर्वजन्तूनां आधारं वरदं परम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ५॥
शङ्खचक्रधरं देवं लोकनाथं दयानिधिम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ६॥
पीताम्बरधरं विष्णुं विलसत्सूत्रशोभितम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ७॥
हस्तेन दक्षिणेन यजं अभयप्रदमक्षरम् ।
अशेषदुःखशान्त्यर्थं लक्ष्मीनारायणं भजे ॥ ८॥
यः पठेत् प्रातरुत्थाय लक्ष्मीनारायणाष्टकम् ।
विमुक्तस्सर्वपापेभ्यः विष्णुलोकं स गच्छति ॥
इति श्रीलक्ष्मीनारायणाष्टकम् सम्पूर्णम् ।
