Glory of the Kāmodā Sacred Place
ततः प्रभृति लक्ष्मीस्तु विष्णोर्वक्षस्थले स्थिता । बभूव विष्णुपत्नी सा सपत्नीरहिता शुभे ॥ ७ ॥
tataḥ prabhṛti lakṣmīstu viṣṇorvakṣasthale sthitā | babhūva viṣṇupatnī sā sapatnīrahitā śubhe || 7 ||
اسی وقت سے لکشمی وشنو کے وक्षस्थل پر قائم رہیں؛ اے مبارک خاتون، وہ وشنو کی زوجہ بنیں اور کسی سوت یا حریفہ سے پاک رہیں۔

It affirms Śrī-Lakṣmī’s eternal, inseparable association with Lord Viṣṇu—symbolizing that divine prosperity, auspiciousness, and grace abide where Viṣṇu is worshiped.
By portraying Lakṣmī as firmly established on Viṣṇu’s chest, the verse teaches steady, exclusive devotion to Viṣṇu—where the devotee seeks the Lord together with Śrī (His grace), not as a divided or competing loyalty.
Vyākaraṇa (grammar/compound sense) is implicit in terms like “sapatnīrahitā” (a compound indicating ‘free from co-wife/rival’), helping readers interpret devotional and theological claims precisely.
