With the help of Lord Vishnu, the gods and demons together churned the ocean, after which by the grace of Goddess Lakshmi, the deities again became opulent. At that time when Indra’s coronation took place, Devraj Indra eulogized Goddess Mahalakshmi with this stotra. This is the first Lakshmi Stotram of Vishnu Purana and is very influential. The one who recites it regularly, there will never be any poverty in his house.
