Is Satyabhama Devi a nitya siddha or sadhana siddha?

[Guest guest]

The question of Srimati Satyabhama being a nitya-siddha or sadhana siddha

actually doesn't even arise. Since She is an expansion of another Sri-tattva,

She is accepted as a Sri-tattva Herself. My impression of Lalita Madhava is

that all 8 gopis and Their expansions as 8 Queens are all Sri-tattva. Please

correct me if I am wrong. Madhva also accepts Satyabhama as Laksmi-tattva.
