The Sanskrit term Mahālakṣmībīja can be transliterated into English as Mahalaksmibija or Mahalakshmibija, using the IAST transliteration scheme (?).

In Hinduism

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Mahālakṣmībīja (महालक्ष्मीबीज) is the name of a topic dealt with in Pāñcarātrāgama (MT. 3257) which possibly belongs to the Nāradīyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra document comprising over 3000 verses in 30 chapters presenting in a narrative framework the teachings of Nārada to Gautama, dealing primarily with modes of worship and festivals.—The framework narrative in chapters I and XXX suggests that the text as we have it is essentially complete. However, in the manuscript version (MT. 2503 ), there is a gap between chapters XIII and XIV and lapses of varying significance elsewhere. [...] Extra passages or chapters may perhaps be found in secondary texts to add to e present version: a section on mahālakṣmībīja can be seen in Pāñcarātrāgama (MT. 3257), and a section on maraṇaprokṣaṇa is available in Pūjāsaṃgraha (MT. 2856)—although this latter might already be incorporated in chapter XXV.
