== Wealth == |
|
|
I just redid the transliteration for the eight kinds of wealth. I didn't want to make it unfriendly for those not unicode friendly in the first place, but saw umlauts for macrons and thought I'd just revamp the list to ] standards. If you disagree with this, simply revert. I thought her epithets (the पद्मप्रिय, etc) might also be rendered in Devanagari w/ proper transliteration. And is the श्री|śrī commentary necessary here? Other miscellaneous elements could be cleaned up and standardized perhaps. I know that there are a whole lot of people here whose knowledge of Hinduism far surpasses mine though, so I'll leave that to them ;-) ]<sup><small>]</sup></small> 23:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC) |

There is absolutely no reason why Lakshmi's epithets shouldn't be on this page. ''All'' other goddess articles have their epithets and other names listed on their actual article page. Lakshmi's page isn't very big anyway, and removing it just makes it even smaller. Editing the category, deleting it or relocating it is not acceptable Misplaced Pages conduct, as others have also tried to put it back after you have removed it. Please rethink your actions. ] 17:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC) |

:I agree with you in that right now the list of names is small. However, '''later on''' if other people add more names (I think there are 108 names like for many Hindu deities) it will become too big. I was just pre-empting the big list of names in the future. Do you want to wait until other people add more names and then relocate it when it takes too much space. Also if you see most other pages, they have their list of names closer to the bottom. I don't think a list looks good in the middle of the article. <b><font color="teal">]</font></b>''<sup><font color="teal">]</font></sup>'' <sup><b><font color="teal">]</font></b></sup> 21:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC) |

:I already added another three names, Sridevi, Bhumi Devi and Chanchala. I am fine with keeping it here at the moment but I know Lakshmiji has many more names so eventually it will have to be moved. On a lot of Misplaced Pages pages, there is only a link on the main page because the list is too big. <b><font color="teal">]</font></b>''<sup><font color="teal">]</font></sup>'' <sup><b><font color="teal">]</font></b></sup> 21:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC) |

Well, I think for now the list should be kept on the main page as it isn't too big, but if you think it would be better moved a little further down the page to suit the other gods articles I think that's ok (as long as it is the same as the other gods articles). Perhaps you can keep an eye out and if the list does become too big you should do something about it then. But it is important for the list of any god's epithets to be easily found in an article. ] 17:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC) |

I don't think that Lion and elephant are Lakshmi's mount and even if they are mentioned as her mount in one or two texts; I think only mainstream things should be mentioned in the infobox. I changed that but a user started a literal edit-war over this small issue, so I had to start a discussion on the talk page. @] @] @] what do you all think? ] (]) 17:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC) |

:I do not know about mounts, but Lakṣmī is sometimes depicted with two elephants by her side, called Gajalakṣmī as is mentioned in the body. ] (]) 18:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC) |

::Alright, so can we remove lion and Garuda from the infobox? Garuda because I think infobox of the deities should be strictly about only themselves without involving their consorts. Mentioning Garuda as Lakshmi's mount is like mentioning bull as Parvati's mount or owl as Vishnu's mount just because they are their consort's mount. Although elephant is not her mount but is consistently depicted with her in iconography, so it can be retained as her mount. But Garuda and Lion should be removed from the infobox. @] @] ] (]) 18:34, 18 September 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
:::I strongly oppose the removal of Garuda from the infobox. While Lakshmi is often depicted on Garuda, Vishnu is never shown riding an owl, making this comparison invalid. Additionally, the inclusion of the ox in Parvati's infobox is appropriate, as it is frequently seen in various depictions, particularly in her Shailputri and Mahagauri forms. ]<sup>]]</sup> 18:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC) |

::::That's the point I'm trying to make. Infobox of the deities should be strictly about themselves without involving their consorts or their other forms, although these things can be mentioned in the body of the article.

:::::I get it but there is no strict criteria that it should be strictly about themselves, if Lakshmi is prominently featured with Garuda (with or without her Vishnu), there should be no problem in that. ]<sup>]]</sup> 19:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC) |

::::::Agree, lion is not a mainstream mount. Also, Garuda is primarily the vahana of Vishnu, not Lakshmi. Suggest restricting in the infobox to owl and elephant, which are mainstream vahanas. Other vahana associations can be covered in Iconography. ] <sup> ] </sup> 16:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC) |

== Owl as her mount? == |
|
OKay I am sick and tired of someone adding the astrological information to the opening, and omitting the comparisons to the Greco-Roman goddesses. That's why this article got tagged: the astro info is wholly irrelevant and sounds unencyclopedic, and doesn't really even apply to the discussion of the goddess. Can a moderator please prevent these changes from being made again? ] 09:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC) |

Which text says Owl is vahan of Lakshmi? As far as I know this is just some folklore of Bengal, but not mentioned in any single text. In Vedas owls are associated with the sister of Lakshmi, Alakshmi. Not Lakshmi. @] @] ] (]) 19:30, 20 November 2024 (UTC) |

Association with Ganesha as a shakti. Role in other religions like Jainism not covered. Historical development, mention in Rigveda, identification with goddess Sri missing |
|
|

Atharva veda:7.46 doesn't say that Lakshmī is the consort of Vishnu. It says that Sinīvālī is the consort of Vishnu. Further , Lakshmī is not mentioned in vedas |
