释迦罗（因陀罗）说道：“我确实从莲华中出生，在日光的光线下莲开而觉醒。为一切众生的兴盛与安乐，我示现于世；我的名号是莲华女（Padmā）、吉祥天女（Śrī）与莲鬘女（Padmamālinī）。”

Educational Q&A
Prosperity (śrī/bhūti) is presented as a divine, auspicious power meant for the welfare of all beings, not merely private gain; it should be understood as aligned with dharma and cosmic order.
Śakra (Indra) speaks of the manifestation of Śrī—identified by the names Padmā and Padmamālinī—arising in a lotus that opens under the sun’s rays, emphasizing her role as the bestower of prosperity upon all creatures.
