“Likewise, Lakshmi is His Supreme Power, and She is endowed with the quality
of Mercy. She is called the Supreme prakRti and possesses the sixqualities,
knowledge and others. Lakshmi is the supreme, unique, and eternalSakti of
BhagavAn; She is His second and transforms Herself into diverse forms, high
and low. She has innumerable names, and is the head of the Sakti-cakra – the
wheel of powers. She stands steady, pervading the entire universe, moving and
non-moving”.
In SrI LahsmI sahasra nAmam, She is described as follows:
mahA-vibhUteh sampUrNa shad-guNya vapushah prabhoh |
bhagavad-vAsudevasya nityaiva esha anapAyinI ||

“She is eternal and inseparably associated with BhagavAn vAsudeva, who is the
Master of great glory, who is endowed with the six qualities, and who is all
powerful. She is like the moon-light of the cool-rayed moon; She is one with
Him, yet remains distinct. She pervades the Universe, and is the very
embodiment of all Sakti-s. She is endowed with all glory and qualities, and is
eternal. Her dharma isthe same as that BhagavAn. She is the life-giving Sakti
of all beings on earth. She is the source of all Sakti-s and is the sublime
element in all”.
