abhyAsai: pavamAna mantra vitathE: aBlingha bhangyantharai:
AadEsair-agamarshaNasya yamakair-ashtAksharOsyEndhirE
gAyathryA: punarukthibhi: paripaNai: OmkAra pumsookthayO:
suddhim vyAhruthi sOdharai: na bhajathE kO naama tE naamabhi:

anvaya Kramam: IndhirE ! PavamAna mantra vitatE : abhyAsai:
aBlinga bhangee antharai: agamarshaNasya AadEsai: ashtAksharasya
yamakai: GayathryA: punarukthibhi: OmkAra pumsUkthayO: paripaNai:
vyAhruthi sOdharaI : tE naamabhi: kO naama Suddhim na bhajathE ? 

(Meaning): Among the mantrams used for consecration are : ApOhishtA 
mantrams recited at the beginning of sandhyA vandhanam , PavamAna mantrams
recited during  PuNyAhavAchanam , AgamarshaNa mantrams used during the time of 
snAnam , AshtAkshari , Gaayathri , yEkAkshari PraNavam , Purusha Sooktham 
and VyAhruthi mantram used during  prOkshaNam ( sprinkling for pavithrIkaraNam).
Oh Mahaa Lakshmi ! Your NaamAs have the same power to consecrate any one and 
any thing . There is none who is outside their power of consecration . Such is 
the power and Vaibhavam of Your NaamAs ! Who will fail to be purified by them ? 
None !

(Comments ): Here , the poet , who is  a Parama Vaidhikar  and a  performer of 
many 
Yaj~nams states from experience that the NaamAs of Mahaa Lakshmi are as powerful
as Mantrams from several Veda Bhaagams :

1) PuNyAhavachana Parisuddhi mantram : PavamAna mantram starting with " 
PavamAna: 
suvarjana: " . This is the heart of the PunyAhavachana rites . The sankalpam 
for 
PuNyAhAvachanam states clearly that it is for ganing all types of parisuddhi : 
" sareera SuddhyarTam , Aathma SuddhyarTam , sarvOpakaraNa SuddhyarTam , 
Gruha SuddhyarTam Suddhi puNyAvAham vaachayishyE ". This sankalpam clearly 
points out the PavamAna mantram is to be recited is for purification of the 
site , 
body , manas and the utensils used in the AarAdhanam /Yaj~nam . Therefore , 
it is a consecration mantram for removing dhOshams from every thing .

Other than PuNyAhavachanam in the households , the PuNyAhavachanam used at
the temples ( VaasudEva puNyAhavachanam ) reiterates Suddhi at many places .
Examples are : 

SuddhayE VaasudEvasthu laangali SuddhayE taTaa
Pradhyumna SuddhayE chAsthu AniruddhOasthu SuddhayE (3) 

ashDAthrimsA imE dEvA: SuddhayE lOkapAvanA:
dEvyaS-SriyAdhayassanthu SuddhayE VishNuvallabhA : (19) 

SuddhayE VainatEyAasthu Pakshi raaD uraga aasana: 
SuddhayEasthu guNAdhyaksha: VishvaksEna: prathApavAn (21) 

VibhO: karishyamANasya YaagasTAnasya SuddhayE
yOgOpakaraNAnAncha SuddhayE yaaga KarmaNAm (27) 

yEthath puNyAham uddhishDam VishNOr-Yaagahdhi-karmasu
yEthan mantra jalairEva prOkshaNam SuddhiruchayathE (35) 

The above mantram says that sprinkling of all the sites , vessels used in
VishNu yaagam with the waters consecrated by the VaasudEva PuNyAhavachanam 
will remove all aSuddhi and consecrate them for use in the Yaj~nam .

2) AapOhishtaa Mantram used at the beginning of daily sandhyA vandhanam 
and during the Mantra snAnam has the same putificatory effect .They are for 
gaining parisuddhi.

3) Similarly , MadhyAhnika prASana mantram ( Aapa: punanthu--) clearly points 
out 
their efffect of achieving purification . Similar are the abhlinga mantrams 
such as 
" AapO vaa idham--) .

4) AgamarshaNa mantram : it has the words PunAthu and punanthu often in its 
midst.
The usage of PunAthu indicates a prayer for purification .

5) AshtAksharam : Its sacredness is matchless . "PavithrANAm pavithram yO 
Moola Mantra: sanAtana: " is the reference to the purificatory power of this
ancient mantram .

6) Gayathri : When we do not recite Gaayathri Mantram daily , one is considered
impure and unfit to do any Vaidhika karmaas ( SandhyAheena: aSuchi: ) .

7) PraNava mantram & Purusha Sooktham : They confer special Jn~Anam on
the reciters ( ViSuddhi: paramaa mathaa ).They consecrate the mind .

8) VyAhruthi Mantrams : With PraNavam in front , these three VyAhruthi 
mantrams are uttered for all purification purposes thru sprinkling with
water and for sarva PrAyascchittha AahUthi in Yagams .

Therefore , these 8 Veda and Aagama BhAgams are key for cleansing
and consecration of one's sareeram , upakaraNams and Yaaga BhUmi. 

The poet points out Mahaa Lakshmi's naamAs confer a similar purification 
on those who recite them with devotion .The poet asks a rhetoric question:

" tE namabhi: kO naama Suddhim na bhajathE ? "

who indeed among the reciters of Your nAmAs not get purified ?
The poet's answer is every one will be purified and recieve 
the anugraham of Mahaa Lakshmi . 

Let us recite some of these NaamAs of Lakshmi for our own purification .
Please add PraNavam before each of these nAmAs :
