Pradvipak Muni said - After that, the serpent Lakshmi herself, having the radiance of crores of autumn moons, came there riding on a great chariot. Crores of friends were increasing their glory. He came and said to Swami great infinite God Sankarshan - God! I will also walk on the earth with you. The pain of your separation will make me so distraught that I will not be able to save my life. Nag Lakshmi's throat was full. Lord Anant, who is also the cause of the causes of the whole world, whose nature is to remove the sorrows of the devotees and whose Sri Vigraha is like a huge snake like Airavat.
