सिन्दूरारुणविग्रहां त्रिनयनां मणिकुण्डलप्रभाशोभितकपोलाम्। पाशाङ्कुशपुष्पबाणचापहस्तां सचामररम्यसौम्यशीलाम्। पद्मासना पद्मकरा पद्माक्षी पद्ममुखी पद्मपद्मालया च। नमामि श्रीललितां परमां परात्परां परेशीं पराम्बाम्॥

Meaning / Translation
I meditate on the Supreme Goddess Lalita, whose body is red like vermilion, who has three eyes, whose cheeks shine with the luster of gem-studded earrings, who holds the noose, goad, flower arrows, and bow in her hands, who is adorned with a beautiful chowrie fan and has a gentle disposition. She is seated on a lotus, has lotus-like hands, lotus-like eyes, a lotus-like face, and resides in a lotus forest. She is the Supreme, beyond the beyond, the Supreme Ruler, the Supreme Mother.

Phalashruti (Benefits of Recitation - Concluding Verses)
Original
एतत्सहस्रनाम्नां पुंसा दुष्कृतनाशनम्। पठनात्सर्वसम्पत्तिः स्याद्देव्याः प्रसादतः॥ अश्वमेधसहस्राणि वाजपेयशतानि च। कोटिकन्याप्रदानं च यत्फलं लभ्यते तत्फलम्॥ ललितासहस्रनाम्नां पठनात्तु लभ्यते फलम्। नात्र कार्या विचारणा श्रीललितापरायणा भवेत्॥
Transliteration
Etat sahasranāmnāṁ puṁsā duṣkṛtanāśanam। Paṭhanātsarvasampattiḥ syāddevyāḥ prasādataḥ॥ Aśvamedhasahasrāṇi vājapayaśatāni ca। Koṭikanyāpradānaṁ ca yatphalaṁ labhyate tatphalam॥ Lalitāsahasranāmnāṁ paṭhanāttu labhyate phalam। Nātra kāryā vicāraṇā Śrīlalitāparāyaṇā bhavet॥
Meaning / Translation
Recitation of these thousand names destroys all sins of men. By recitation, all wealth and prosperity are attained through the Goddess's grace. The fruit obtained by performing a thousand Ashvamedha sacrifices, a hundred Vajapeya sacrifices, and giving away ten million maidens in marriage — that same fruit is obtained by reciting the Lalita Sahasranama. There is no doubt about this. One should become devoted to the recitation of Śrī Lalita.
