The saint realized the womens devotion irrespective of being poor, and immediately started singing twenty one slokas praising Goddess Mahalakshmi praying her to bless the poor women by driving her poverty and grant her riches.Īs Sanakaracharya was singing Kanakadhara stotram, Mahalakshmi showered Golden amla fruit like rain infront of the poor womens hut.
The shy woman had immense devotion and didnt want to send the saint empty handed and offered the amla fruit to Sankaracharya. She searched all over and finally found a old Amla fruit ( nelli kani in tamil ). The woman could not find anything to offer the saint.
Once Sankaracharya was going to few houses to take bhiksha and came across a poor womans hut.
