Lakshmi or Shree stands for beauty, excellence, wealth and prosperity. She is the daughter of the great sage Bhriu and his wife Khyati (fame). She sits on a fully bloomed lotus (kamal) and carries a half-bloomed lotus in her hand. Kamala, Kamalalaya, and Padmavati are a few of her other names. She uses an owl named Uluk as her transport. On one hand she carries the fruit Bilva, also called Shree-phal. On another, she carries a covered container full of grains of rice. Lakshmi is by nature restless (chanchal). She moves from person to person, household to household, showering her favours and then moving away from them.
