lakshmi chanchla hai yah ek dhruv satya hai. dhan ki devi lakshmi bhagvan vishnu ki patni hotu hue bhi chanchal hai. bhagvan vishnu jo ki ganbhir v dhairyavan hain, jinka svarup shashvat v chir sthai hai vahin unki patni lakshmi chanchla hanai ve chir sthai nahin hain. ve kahin bhi adhik der tak nahin thahrti, yah satya hai.
ek bar yahi prashn narad ji ne apne pita brahma ji se kiya ki ‘‘lakshmi chanchla kyon’’ to uÿar men brahma ji ne kaha ‘‘yadi lakshmi kisi ke yahan sthai ho jaegi to vah vyakti dharti par apne abhiman men chur hokar tarh-tarah ke kukarm karega, praniyon ko sataega.’ ’yugon se bahte dhan ke pravah ko koi nahin rok saka. dhan v aishvarya ke mad men prani yah bhul jata hai ki uske purva janm ke satkarmon ka fal hai jo use sanpannata ke rup men prapt hua hai aur vah dhan ke mad men chur hokar galat karyon men lag jata hai.
kuch samay bad lakshmi uske pas se chalayman ho jati hai. islie lakshmi ji ko chanchla kaha jata hai. ‘‘kyon priya hai lakshmi ko kaml’’ saubhagya evan dhan ki devi lakshmi ko pushpon men sarvadhik priya kamal ka pushp hai. yah bat to unke kisi bhi chitra ko dekhne se spasht ho jati hai. kamal ko saubhagya ka pratik mana jata hai aur kamal par virajman devi lakshmi bhi saubhagyadayini hai. atah unka sanbandh kamal se hona anivarya pratit hota hai.
lakshmi ji ko kamal se utpann mana jata hai islie unhen paùja bhi kahte hain. yah ek satvik pushp hai. kichar men utpann hote hue bhi yah shuddh hota hai. jal men rahte hue bhi pani ki ek bund tak iski paÿiayon par nahin thahrti. kamal se yah sanket liya jata hai ki manushya sansar rupi kichar men rahte hue bhi ismen dube nahin, balki isse nirlipt hokar aise karya karen jo use yash pradan karte hue kamal ki bhanti uncha uthae rakhe. shastron men lakshmi ji ke char vahan varnit hain- garur, ullu, hathi aur kamal. ullu lakshmi ka tamsik vahan hai, garur satvik tatha hathi aur kamal rajsi vahan hain.
islie kamal ko aishvarya se jora jata hai v lakshmi ji bhi dhan sanpda tatha aishvarya ki devi atah samriddhi ke paryay rup men kamal unhen ati priya hai.
