¹¹⁰ The Viṣṇudharmottara (II. 128. 2-6) states that the hymn to Śrī is different for each veda; the hymn of 15 verses beginning with 'Hiraṇyavarṇāṁ hariṇīm' occurring in the pariśiṣṭa to the Ṛgveda is the one for Ṛgveda, the hymn of four verses beginning with 'rathe akṣeṣu vṛṣabhasya vāje' (Tai. Br. II. 7. 7) is the Śrīsūkta for the Yajurveda, the verse 'śrāyanta iva' (267, 1319) for Sāmaveda and 'śriyaṁ dhātur mayi dehi' is the one for Atharvaveda. The Agnipurāṇa (237. 2-17) contains a hymn to Śrī, which is not vedic but paurāṇic. Similarly the Rājadharmakaustubha (pp. 367-370) contains a long paurāṇic hymn (said to have been repeated by Indra) to Śrī which is to be recited while the king was to be seated on the throne after coronation. It is taken from the Viṣṇupurāṇa I. 9.
