Adhyaya 18 — Arjuna Declines the Throne; Garga Directs Him to Dattatreya; The Gods Defeat the Daityas through Dattatreya’s Vision and the Movement of Lakshmi
कलत्रञ्च गुह्यसंस्था क्रोडस्था पत्यदायिनी ।
मनोरथान् पूरयति पुरुषाणां हृदि स्थिता ॥
kalātrañ ca guhyasaṃsthā kroḍasthā patyadāyinī / manorathān pūrayati puruṣāṇāṃ hṛdi sthitā
گُہْیَ (پوشیدہ) مقام میں ٹھہرے تو بیوی عطا کرتی ہے؛ اُپستھ/کمر میں ہو تو شوہر عطا کرتی ہے؛ اور دل میں ساکن ہو کر انسانوں کی آرزوئیں پوری کرتی ہے۔

Fortune is linked to relational and inner harmony: conjugal wellbeing and the fulfillment of aims are presented as Lakṣmī’s gifts when life-force and heart are ordered.
Ethical-social instruction (gṛhastha-oriented) embedded in dialogue; not a genealogical or manvantara catalogue.
The ‘secret parts’ and ‘heart’ symbolize creative power and intention; Lakṣmī here signifies auspicious alignment of desire (kāma) with inner purity (hṛdaya).
