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? Ikshveku 09:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Tagged "Legends" section

Added ==refimprove== tag to this section because it doesn't cite any outside sources--just links to wikipedia articles. PainMan 18:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Correction. It does not cite enough outside sources. --Ghostexorcist 19:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Hinduism reassessment

Due to the recent creation of class C and introduction of 6-clause B-criteria, i am checking this artcle for the B-criteria:

  • The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary.
Very few Inline citations for an article of this size.
  • The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
Her associations with other gods except Vishnu like "as a wife of Sūrya , as a wife of Prajā-pati ,

Actress

There is an actress named Laxmi; the article of that name redirects here. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of very lazy linking (see what links to Laxmi). Anyone want to take on the clean-up? — crism (talk) 20:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Never mind; there weren’t actually all that many. Fixed, I think. — crism (talk) 20:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Misinterpretation

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

Hence, 7.46.3 is mistranslated hopelessly. I am replacing the reference.....--Powerprowess (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Laksmi is homologous to another of Visnu's consorts, Sinīvālī. JSTOR: Early Vaisnava Bhakti and Its Autochthonous HeritageWikidās ॐ 15:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
