 Both Śrī Stuti and Śrī Sūktam are hymns dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, prosperity, and auspiciousness. However, they differ in their origin, structure, and purpose.

1. Śrī Stuti

 Composed by Swami Vedanta Desika, a great philosopher and poet of the Sri Vaishnava tradition (13th–14th century CE).

A Sanskrit stotra (hymn) consisting of 25 verses in praise of Goddess Lakshmi.

Focuses on the divine qualities of Lakshmi, her compassionate nature, and her role as the consort of Lord Vishnu. It describes how she bestows grace and prosperity on devotees.

It is deeply rooted in Sri Vaishnava philosophy, emphasizing Lakshmi as the Purushakara (mediator) between devotees and Lord Vishnu.

Primarily a devotional hymn recited for blessings, wealth, and divine grace.

2. Śrī Sūktam

A An ancient Vedic hymn found in the Rig Veda (appendix to the 5th Mandala).

A collection of 15 verses (mantras) in Vedic Sanskrit, chanted in a metrical form.

 Describes the radiance, prosperity, and benevolence of Goddess Lakshmi. It invokes her presence, seeking wealth, abundance, and happiness.

It is part of Vedic tradition, with emphasis on the sound vibrations of the mantras. It is chanted in yajñas (sacrificial rituals) and for spiritual upliftment.

Considered very auspicious and powerful in attracting prosperity, material wealth, and well-being. Often recited in Hindu homes and temples.

If you seek devotional praise and philosophical insight, Śrī Stuti is more appropriate.

If you seek traditional Vedic chanting for prosperity and auspiciousness, Śrī Sūktam is the preferred choice.

Both hymns are highly revered and reciting either brings divine grace.
