श्रीझ्वाच पुण्येषु त्रिषु लोकेषु सर्वे स्थावरजड्रमा: । ममात्मभावमिच्छन्तो यतन्ते परमात्मना
śakra uvāca | śrīr uvāca puṇyeṣu triṣu lokeṣu sarve sthāvarajaṅgamāḥ | mamātmabhāvam icchanto yatante paramātmanā ||
श्री (लक्ष्मी) म्हणाली—इंद्रा! पुण्यमय तीनही लोकांत सर्व स्थावर-जंगम प्राणी माझा आत्मभाव—मला प्राप्त करण्याची इच्छा धरून परम अंतःकरणाने सतत प्रयत्न करीत असतात.

Educational Q&A
Fortune (Śrī/Lakṣmī) is portrayed as a sought-after state: all beings strive to attain it, and true attainment is linked to sustained effort and an inner alignment with the highest principle (Paramātman), not mere chance.
In a dialogue where Indra (Śakra) is addressed, Śrī (Lakṣmī) explains her universal desirability: across the three worlds, every kind of being—immobile and mobile—endeavors intensely to obtain her presence and condition.
