Beholding them the down of the Ten-necked demon stood erect though a boon had been conferred upon him by the Self-born and he speedily issued out of that place. And he again saw another huge person lying down on a bed. His house, seat and bed were all white and valuable and he was sleeping enveloped by fire. And there sat gracefully with a fan in her lotus hands, the goddess Laksmī, most beautiful in the three worlds, (as if) the ornament thereof, chaste, adorned with celestial garlands, sprinkled with excellent sandal paste, be-decked with rich ornaments and clad in a precious raiment.
तांस्तु दृष्ट्वा दशग्रीव ऊर्ध्वरोमा बभूव ह॥ स्वयभूवा दत्तवरस्ततः शीघ्र विनिर्ययौ। अथापश्यत्परं तत्र पुरुषं शयने स्थितम्॥ पाण्डुरेण महार्हेण शयनासनवेश्मना। शेते स पुरुषस्तत्र पावकेनावगुण्ठितः॥ दिव्यस्रगनुलेपा च दिव्याभरणभूषिता। दिव्याम्बरधरा साध्वी त्रैलोक्यस्यैकभूषणम्॥ वालव्यजनहस्ता च देवी तत्र व्यवस्थिता। लक्ष्मी देवी सपद्मा वै भ्राजते लोकसुन्दरी॥
