The Kanakadhārāstotram, a Sanskrit hymn by Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, comprises 22 verses praising Lakṣmī, named “Kanakadhārā” (stream of gold) after a legend where Śaṅkara, as a young ascetic seeking alms, received a single gooseberry from a poor Brāhmaṇa woman; moved by her selflessness, he composed this stotra on the spot, and Lakṣmī, pleased by its beauty, showered her hut with golden gooseberries, making the hymn, widely chanted for prosperity and spiritual grace, a timeless testament to devotion and divine compassion.
