- Dressed in saffron garments, she sanctified herself with water and closed her eyes to absorb herself in the process of mystic yoga

- Many demigods such as Lord Brahma seek the pleasure of the goddess of fortune, but the goddess of fortune herself, with a lotus flower in her hand, is always ready to render service to the Supreme Lord
