That is the word "SrI" is taken as a the upalaxaNa of laxmI. This is according toe audio file I have, laxmyAH is inserted (understood) in that sentence. The fact that she is sarasavatI's mother comes solely from the dictionary meaning of shrI. Thank you. Ravi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
