Meaning, sources and more prayers: sanatanbodh.in/en/prayers/kuber-aarti/

This text is the same across many sources. The text uses the folk spelling ‘जै’ for ‘जय’ (jai, victory), and many copies print ‘ऊँ’ for ‘ॐ’. The tune and the shape of the refrain are like those of “Om Jai Jagdish Hare”. The last verse carries the name ‘Prempal Swami’, but no reliable information about him is available. Another aarti of Kubera, “Jai Kuber Swami, Prabhu Jai Kuber Swami”, is also sung and is a separate text. When sung, the first verse (the refrain) is repeated after every verse.

After the aarti, most homes recite: कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।
