Goddess Shri who resides,
In the chest of Padmanabha,
The lotus-eyed one, the lotus-born,
With hands granting boons and removing fear.

Shining like molten gold,
Adorned with pure white garments,
Crowned with a radiant gem-diadem,
She sits amidst streams of divine nectar.

Seated on an elephant pair,
She holds a pot of nectar,
Ever pure, ever serene.
I bow to Shri, the goddess of fortune.

What are Asuras?

In the Vedic age, the Aryans considered Indra as the king of Devas. But the Vedas depict Varuna also as equal in power to Indra. A group of Aryans under Zaratustra became rebellious and started worshiping Varuna as the supreme power. They created their own four Vedas and a script called Kharoshti which was written from right to left. In their yajnas, Varuna was given offerings as the chief of Devas. This group of Aryans who settled to the west of the Indus river were known as Asuras. They were always in conflict with Devas and their followers. Subsequently, all enemies of Devas became known as Asuras. This term now represents Daityas, Danavas, and Rakshasas also.
