Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 689: Shri Rajya lakshmi (ōṃ rājyalakṣmyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the embodiment of the prosperity of all kingdoms. 

She is in the form of Rajyalakshmi or prosperity for the kingdom. Those who have divine grace, get kingdoms to rule, those who are able rulers or kings are considered as Vishnu form. After winning the Mahabharata war, the eldest of the Pandavas, Dharma Raja refused the kingdom, but his grandfather ordered him, by saying that he is to look after the people in the kingdom and he should become the ruler. Due to that with Rajyalakshmi’s grace the kingdom prospered.

She, the Rajyalakshmi, provider of wealth of materials, grains, and intellectual gathering for the rulers of the kingdoms.

There is also a mantra called ‘Rajyalakshmi’, which is described in Tantrarajyam. The Divine Mother is in this form of the mantra ‘Rajyalakshmi’.

In a broader sense, this Name means that the material happiness of all living beings of the universe is from the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother is universal prosperity.
