The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Lalitā pañca ratnam

Phalaśruti

Phalaśruti

The verse that states the fruit of reciting the poem. It is the poem’s own ending, not an addition to it.

यः श्लोकपञ्चकमिदं ललिताम्बिकायाःसौभाग्यदं सुललितं पठति प्रभाते ।तस्मै ददाति ललिता झटिति प्रसन्नाविद्यां श्रियं विमलसौख्यमनन्तकीर्तिम् ॥

In plain words

Whoever recites these five verses of Mother Lalitā at first light — five verses that carry good fortune, lovely on the tongue — to that person Lalitā, pleased, gives at once: knowledge, abundance, happiness with no shadow in it, and a name that does not end.

Close to the Sanskrit

Whoever recites at daybreak this set of five verses of Mother Lalitā — bestowing good fortune, exceedingly graceful — to him Lalitā, pleased, instantly gives knowledge, prosperity, spotless happiness, endless fame.
