SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of MahA Lakshmi:

In the 27th SlOkam , Sri VenkatAdhri Kavi instructs us that 
MahA Lakshmi's nAmAs grant all desired things like the Deva lOka 
KaamadhEnu . She is the VaanchithArTa phala pradhAyini and hence
Her nAmAs have such abundant wish granting power:

svapdhanyasanEna chAruvarNA 
sura-varghOshDa-viSuddha-hEthu-bhUthA
KamalE mama kAnkshithAni dhugdhE 
stavanAhaam Tava nAmakAmadhEnu:

The key words here are : " stavanAhAm Tava nAma KaamadhEnu:
mama kAnkshithAni dhugdhE " . 

(Meaning ) : Oh Divine One having as Your abode , the Lotus flower ! 
The most praise worthy nAmAs of Yours are like the celestial Cow, 
KaamadhEnu in granting all my desired wishes . Your nAmAs are 
a veritable KaamdhEnu.

The poet  reveals  5 points of similarity ( sAdhrusyam ) between the nAmAs of
MahA Lakshmi and the Celestial cow , KaamadhEnu in the matter of their 
wish granting power :

1) Both have beautiful colors ( varNaa ; VarNaa also means aksharams of the 
nAmAs ).

2) Both have the power to consecrate the places , where their paadham(foot) 
    is placed or padham (nAmam) is heard ( sva-padha-nyasanEna visuddhi 
    hEthu bhUthaa ).

3) Both Mahaa Lakshmi and KaamadhEnu have"  suravAghOshtathva viSuddhi ".
    In the case of MahA Lakshmi , the lips and the tongue of DevAs are purified 
by
    the power of recitation of Her nAmAs ( sura-vaak-oshDa-viSuddhi hEthu 
bhUthaa).
    Those nAmAs are the cause for imparting purity to the organs of DEvAs 
associated with
    the chanting of Her nAmAs. In the case of the KaamadhEnu , the split is : " 
su-ravaa-
    ghOshDa-viSuddhi-hEthu bhUthaa "  . In the case of KaamadhEnu, " 
sura-vaak-OshDa
    ViSuddhi " becomes " su-ravaa-ghOshDa visuddhi" .  In the case of MahA 
Lakshmi ,
    Her nAmAs purify the speech associated organs . In the case of the 
celestial cow ,
    it is the purity imparted to the cow sheds (gO sAlAs) through its placement 
of its feet .

4)  Both of them grant what all one prays for. 

5)  MahA lakshmi's nAmAs are praise worthy ; same with KaamdhEnu. 

The poet suggests that reciting the nAmAvaLis of MahA Lakshmi has the same 
phalan as asking KaamadhEnu for the fulfilment of one's wishes . She is the 
dhivya
KaamdhEnu in form . Lakshmi nAma Sankeethanam and prArTanai to KaamadhEnu
yield the same results. The blemishes of the lips and the tongue resulting from 
telling lies , uttering harsh words and empty chatter are purified by Lakshmi 
nAma sankeerthanam ( Visuddhi hEthu). 

Sri KaNNan Swamy's summary of this slOkam in Tamil takes this form:

Padhmai pEr KaamadhEnup-
pasu yenRu paharhinROm
padham pattAl parisuddhi
phalan yellAm peRRiDalAm

(meaning): We declare that one name of MahA Lakshmi is KaamadhEnu.
Purity and consecration results , wherever Her paadham is placed. One can
gain all what one desires by reciting Her dhivya nAmAs.
