In the Brahmā-saṁhitā also, Lakṣmī. And not only one; all of them are Lakṣmīs. The associates of Lakṣmī, the maidservants of Lakṣmī, they are also Lakṣmīs. They are not ordinary women, just like Rādhārāṇī is the chief gopī, and all Her young girlfriends, they are also gopīs. They are of the same category. Ānanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhāvitābhiḥ (Bs. 5.37). They are all expansion of Kṛṣṇa, pleasure potency.

That is advised by Nārada Muni to his disciple Vyāsadeva: "What you are writing, all these nonsense books? You . . ." what is called? Jugupsitam. Jugupsitam. He instructed Vyāsadeva that, "Whatever literatures you have produced . . ." means up to that time he produced Vedānta-sūtra. He wrote up to Vedānta-sūtra, which is considered to be the topmost philosophical thesis in the world, Vedānta-sūtra, all over the world, the Vedānta philosophy. So he finished that Vedānta-sūtra. Still, he was not happy.

And his spiritual master, Nārada, chastised him: "What nonsense books you have written?" First of all he was not happy, so Nārada came, and he asked him that, "Why you are not happy? You know everything, but why you are not happy?" So he submitted, "Yes, my master, I know everything, and I think I have done everything, writing all these books. But still, I am not happy. So why I am not happy, that you can tell, because you are my master." So, "Yes, I can tell you."

And then he said that, "You have labored so much for writing all these nonsense books, but you have not said anything of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore you are unhappy. Therefore I advise you that now you write one book which is simply the transaction of the Supreme Personality, nothing else, nothing of this material world—sacrificing, this religious, and this unreligious, 'This is good, this is bad,' nothing of the sort. Simply write about the pastimes of the Supreme Lord. Then you will be happy." Then he wrote Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
