Once Sankaracharya was going to few houses to take bhiksha. He came across a hut and asked for bhiksha. ( food ). The woman inside the house was embarrassed as a saint has come to her house for food but she is so poor that nothing was available in her house. She searched all the places and finally found an old Amla fruit . The poor woman was feeling shy to give only this little amla fruit to Sankaracharya but she has immense devotion and dont want to send the saint who came to her house empty handed. She offered the amla fruit in the bowl of Lord Sankaracharya.
Sankaracharya realized the women's devotion irrespective of being poor. He immediately started singing twenty one slokas praising Goddess Mahalakshmi , praying her to bless the poor woman by driving her poverty and grant her riches.
As Sanakaracharya was singing Kanagadhara stotram, Mahalakshmi showered Golden amla fruit like rain infront of the poor woman's hut. How great is the saint Adi Sankaracharyaya who sang in praise of Mahalakshmi and beyond all this How graceful is this Goddess Mahalakshmi.
