A lot of illustrations can be shown in the vedhas&nbsp; as well, which have professed the greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi, such as SrI sUktham, SradhdhA sUktham, mEdhA sUktham, uththara nArAyaNam, kaushIthaki brAhmaNam etc.<\/p>\n<p>The vishNu purANa&nbsp; says thus: \u201cThis mother of all worlds \u2013 SrI:&nbsp; (\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0903) by name \u2013 is ever inseparable from SrI vishNu&nbsp; Just as he is omnipresent and all-pervading, so also SrI mahAlakshmi&nbsp; is omnipresent and all-pervading\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Having begun thus to speak about the greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi,&nbsp; the vishNu purANa further elaborates on her greatness by quoting the incidents of amrutha-manthanam&nbsp; (\u0905\u092e\u0943\u0924\u092e\u0928\u094d\u0925\u0928\u092e\u094d), the prayer of lord indhra&nbsp; to mahAlakshmi, et al.<\/p>\n<p>The brahma purANa&nbsp; says thus: \u201cHer powers are invincible and magnanimous, and she is called by the name \u2018vishNu Sakthi\u2019&nbsp; (\u0935\u093f\u0937\u094d\u0923\u0941\u0936\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f\u0903). She resides in the lotus of heart of all beings, and also manifests herself&nbsp; in various forms. She is also called \u2018prANA\u2019 (\u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u093e), the originator of all sacred hymns (manthras), and she&nbsp; is the eternal divine mother of all worlds\u201d. It further states: \u201cShe is dark hued like the lamp-black (\u0905\u091e\u094d\u091c\u0928\u092e\u094d), devoid of all faulty qualities, and is verily the \u2018vyOma\u2019 or the vast sky.<\/p>\n<p>Further, some other scriptures say thus: \u201cShe is the sole supreme power of vishNu, , and she is also in refuge of vishNu\u2019s&nbsp; compassion. She possesses the six qualities (knowledge, powers, et al), and is said to be verily the superior nature of bhagavAn.<\/p>\n<p>She is the only supreme power, who hails as second to vishNu himself. She is the eternal one, who manifests in both superior and inferior forms (superior \u2013 in SrIvaikuNtam,&nbsp; inferior \u2013 in our lower worlds). Her divine names are endless, and she is the mistress of the \u2018Sakthi chakra\u2019 (\u0936\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f\u091a\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0903). She pervades all of these sentient and insentient entities in this world, and conducts all activities along with bhagavAn.&nbsp; With her divine body full of the six divine qualities, she is ever inseparable from bhagavAn vAsudhEva \u2013 who is himself the master of all wealth. She stands apart with all her&nbsp; greatness, although being one with vishNu, just like the cool rays of the moon. She is omnipotent, and is all-pervading. She possesses all the wealth in this world, and always accepts bhagavAn\u2019s dharma as her own. She is verily the life force and is superior to all other souls in this world. She is the origin of all powers, and she is the supreme effulgent goddess\u201d etc. All of these statements and more \u2013 in the kakshmi sahasram&nbsp; \u2013 show the greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the same scriptures state thus: \u201cThe creative powers are born as a manifestation of lakshmi herself,&nbsp; and are present all around the world. They indeed stand as the cause of all procreation in this world by the divine order of SrI mahAlakshmi.&nbsp; Thus, when the divine mother SrI mahAlakshmi \u2013 the consort of achyutha \u2013 is pleased with someone, these powers confer their fruits upon them all by themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi&nbsp; is thus spoken at great length in various scriptures such as all vaishnava smruthis &nbsp; and dharma SAsthrAs.<\/p>\n<p>Even the SrImath rAmAyana&nbsp; states the greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi&nbsp; fully, when it says: \u201cThe epic poem rAmAyana is completely the divine story of sIthA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The kathOpanishath&nbsp; says: \u201cbhagavAn vishNu&nbsp; gains his supremacy only because of his&nbsp; being the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With all these scriptural declarations and more, the greatness of SrI mahAlakshmi&nbsp; is clearly depicted.
