The treasure of Lakshmi, the creator and destroyer of fear for all beings, Sri Rama, Ramabhadra, the sole liberator from the bonds of worldly existence.
Whether recited at the king's gate, in terrible danger, in battle, or when surrounded by enemies - there is no fear from evil spirits, serpents, poison, fire, or floods.
Whatever is most desired in this world, one attains it without doubt. It bestows prosperity, royal honor, and the fruits of both worldly enjoyment and liberation.
This is the greatest mantra of Lord Vishnu in all the worlds, the destroyer of all sins, bestowing all prosperity upon humanity, the cause of all auspiciousness.
veṅkaṭādri samaṃ sthānaṃ brahmāṇḍe nāsti kiṃcana | veṅkaṭeśa samo devo na bhūto na bhaviṣyati | etena satyavākyena sarvārthān sādhayāmyaham ||
There is no place in the universe equal to Venkatadri. There is no god equal to Venkateshwara, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be. By this truthful declaration, I accomplish all my goals.
Thus ends the Sri Venkatesha Stotram from the Brahmanda Purana, in the dialogue between Brahma and Narada.
