Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :
 
The 20th slOkam is recited for being blessed with Moksha Sukham :

    varthishyanthE vithamasi padhE VaasudEvasya dhanyA:
 
The key passage if this slOkam is : " Yasmin yeeshath namitha Sirasa:
dhanyA: Sareeram yaapayithvA VaasudEvasya PadhE VarthishyanthE "
( Oh SrI Devi ! Those who have performed SaraNAgathy at Your sacred
feet are the most fortunate. After their dissolution of their physical body ,
they reach Sri Vaikuntam of Your Lord ).

***************************************************************************
Oh the DEvi of the DevadEvan ! adiyEn prostrates before Your sacred feet
which are worshipped by the Deva sthrees with garlands adorned on their
heads ; Your sacred  feet are the growing ground for all types of wealth .
Even those , who bend before them with nama ukthi become blessed ones and
they reach Your Lord's Parama pdham at the end of their lives on this earth . 
 
Additional observations on this slOkam ssages :
****************************************************************
Oh Periya PirAtti (MahA DEvi of Kaanchipuram ) ! When the dEva sthrees
adorned with flower garlands on their beautiful hair prostrate before Your
sacred feet , the flowers from those garlands serve as pushpa varshams
for Your worship . That is like archanA performed by them to Your sacred
feet .
 
Those sacred feet  yields " Bhava sAgara antha: avasAdham yEyushAm
abhayAya bhAthi " according to a passage from Lakshmi Sahasram .
Your sacred feet , NaamAs and Your MangaLa ThirumEni shine to remove
the fear of SamsAram . They destroy the light of amangaLams ( " aSubha
dheepthim hruth ) . With their golden lustre , they steal the heart of
the worshippers ( SuvarNa nibhayA prabhayA manOramam bhAthi) .
In Tamil , the power of those sacred feet and Her NaamAs have been
described as : " MangaLangaL mangAmal manna vaikkum " . You are
the " SrEya: Saadhana dEvathA " ( The PumpradhAnEswari , who is
the UpAyam for SrEyas ). Your sacrd feet are like the wish-granting
KaamsdhEnu . They chase away all samsAric sorrows ( nirAkrutha
vyasanE Tava dhivya charaNAravindham ) .
 
The author of Lakshmi Sahasram reminds us of the power of Her sacred
NaamAs . His comments apply to the power of Her sacred Thiruvadi as well :
" Aamushmikam Saasvatham eihikam vaa kim naama phalam ThvannAma
na dhatthE ? " ( What type of Phalan -- here on earth , at the other world or
any other Phalan--can they not give ? ).
