Consort of Vishnu, goddess of wealth. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

If Lakshmi or the Goddess of wealth decides to come to you, she will come of her own un-noticed like water into a coconut. If she decides to leave you, she will go away on her own and without any notice like the soft pulp in the wood apple swallowed by an elephant. (SSB 1974, p. 206)

Lakshmi is the personification of Dhaya or the Grace of Vishnu; that is why she is said to dwell on His breast! (SSS Vol.1, p. 180)

Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, is the supreme example of one who dedicated herself totally to the worship of the Lord s feet, regarding the Feet as the source of the entire creation, holding them supremely sacred owing to their being washed by Brahma himself, wondering at them as feet which had measured the whole cosmos, and venerating them as all-pervading.
