O husband of mother Lakṣmī, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You, who are accompanied by many associates, such as Viśvaksena. I offer all the paraphernalia for worshiping You.” One should chant this mantra every day with great attention while worshiping Lord Viṣṇu with all paraphernalia, such as water for washing His feet, hands and mouth and water for His bath. One must offer Him various presentations for His worship, such as garments, a sacred thread, ornaments, scents, flowers, incense and lamps. Purport: This mantra is very important. Anyone engaged in Deity worship should chant this mantra, as quoted above, beginning with oṁ namo bhagavate mahā-puruṣāya. Srimad Bhagavatam 06.19.08 haviḥ-śeṣaṁ ca juhuyād  anale dvādaśāhutī oṁ namo bhagavate mahā-puruṣāya  mahāvibhūti-pataye svāheti Synonyms: haviḥ-śeṣam — remnants of the offering; ca — and; juhuyāt — one should offer; anale — in the fire; dvādaśa — twelve; āhutīḥ — oblations; om — O my Lord; namaḥ — obeisances; bhagavate — unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead; mahā-puruṣāya — the supreme enjoyer; mahā-vibhūti — of the goddess of fortune; pataye — the husband; svāhā — hail; iti — thus. Translation: Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: After worshiping the Lord with all the paraphernalia mentioned above, one should chant the following mantra while offering twelve oblations of ghee on the sacred fire: oṁ namo bhagavate mahā-puruṣāya mahāvibhūti-pataye svāhā. Srimad Bhagavatam 06.19.09 śriyaṁ viṣṇuṁ ca varadāv  āśiṣāṁ prabhavāv ubhau bhaktyā sampūjayen nityaṁ  yadīcchet sarva-sampadaḥ Synonyms: śriyam — the goddess of fortune; viṣṇum — Lord Viṣṇu; ca — and; vara-dau — the bestowers of benedictions; āśiṣām — of blessings; prabhavau — the sources; ubhau — both; bhaktyā — with devotion; sampūjayet — should worship; nityam — daily; yadi — if; icchet — desires; sarva — all; sampadaḥ — opulences. Translation: If one desires all opulences, his duty is to daily worship Lord Viṣṇu with His wife, Lakṣmī. With great devotion one should worship Him according to the above-mentioned process. Lord Viṣṇu and the goddess of fortune are an immensely powerful combination. They are the bestowers of all benedictions and the sources of all good fortune. Therefore the duty of everyone is to worship Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. Purport: Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa — Lord Viṣṇu and mother Lakṣmī — are always situated in everyone’s heart (īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe ’rjuna tiṣṭhati). However, because nondevotees do not realize that Lord Viṣṇu stays with His eternal consort, Lakṣmī, within the hearts of all living entities, they are not endowed with the opulence of Lord Viṣṇu. Unscrupulous men sometimes address a poor man as daridra-nārāyaṇa, or “poor Nārāyaṇa.” This is most unscientific. Lord Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī are always situated in everyone’s heart, but this does not mean that everyone is Nārāyaṇa, especially not those in poverty. This is a most abominable term to use in connection with Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa never becomes poor, and therefore He can never be called daridra-nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa is certainly situated in everyone’s heart, but He is neither poor nor rich. Only unscrupulous persons who do not know the opulence of Nārāyaṇa try to afflict Him with poverty.
