The Sampatti Mantra is a sacred invocation dedicated to the accumulation of wealth, treasures, and material resources. Its textual origins are found in the Kubera Tantra, a scripture focused on the worship of Lord Kubera, the treasurer of the gods and bestower of riches. The mantra also draws from the Lakshmi Tantra, part of the Pancharatra Agamas, which glorifies Goddess Lakshmi as the source of all prosperity. The primary deity associated is Kubera, often depicted with a treasure pot, and Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, who showers gold coins.
The beej-akshara (seed syllable) 'Shreem' (श्रीं) is central to the mantra, representing Lakshmi's essence and the sound of abundance. Phonetically, 'Shreem' combines the sibilant 'Sh' with the resonant 'reem', believed to activate the energy of wealth attraction. The mantra 'Om Sampattim Dehi Dehi Swaha' is a direct plea for the granting of wealth, while 'Om Shreem Hreem Sampatti Pradayai Namah' invokes the goddess who bestows prosperity. Traditional purposes include building assets, attracting treasures from all directions, and ensuring financial security.
Chanting is recommended during auspicious times such as Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya, with a count of 108 repetitions using a rosary. The ideal setting is a clean, east-facing space with an image of Kubera or Lakshmi, offering incense and sweets. Cautions include maintaining purity of mind and body, avoiding greed, and using the mantra solely for righteous wealth (dhana) as per Dharma. The Mantra Mahodadhi (11.45) states that such mantras should be chanted with devotion and not for selfish ends.
Regular practice is said to remove poverty and bring lasting prosperity.
Oṃ, grant wealth, grant, svāhā.
The mantra contains no explicit beej-akshara; however, the associated mantra 'Om Shreem Hreem Sampatti Pradayai Namah' uses 'Shreem' (श्रीं) as the seed syllable for Lakshmi and 'Hreem' (ह्रीं) as the seed for attraction.
