Mahālakṣmī has two forms, Viṣṇu-priyā Lakṣmī and Rājyalakṣmī. The former is the embodiment of chastity and virtuousness. The latter goes about courting Kings. Rājyalakṣmī is fickle and unsteady. This Lakṣmī enters all places where virtue and charity are found and as soon as these two vanish from any place Rājyalakṣmī will also vanish from that place. - [Previous: c7.3214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.3214) - [Next: c7.3216](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.3216) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.3215](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.3215) · Pramāṇa
