Karadarshna Shloka In Sanskrit:

कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मिः करमध्ये सरस्वति ।
करमूले तु गोविन्दःप्रभाते करदर्शनम् ॥

Karadarshna Shloka In English :

Karagre Vasate Lakshmi, Karamadhye Saraswati |
Karmule tu Govindah, Prabhate Kardarshanam ||

Meaning :

At the top of the hand resides Goddess Laxmi and in the middle of the hand resides goddess Saraswati. At the base of the hand resides Lord Govind. Hence one should look at the hand in the early morning.

This shloka holds both spiritual and material meaning. We pray to Goddess Laxmi for wealth. Lakshmi symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and abundance. We pray to Goddess Saraswati for Knowledge as Saraswati represents wisdom, knowledge, and learning and we pray to Lord Govind for health as Govinda acknowledges Gauri (Durga) at the root/base of the hand. Durga represents health and strength.

All three are needed for a healthy life. The basic idea of palm philosophy is that we believe in our karma. We pray to God to help us do good  deeds that can bring wealth, happiness, and knowledge in our  life. We should be no bad work with our hands and our hands should always move forward to help others.
