Supreme Personality of Godhead. Bhrigu muni has
established that fact beyond any doubt. The result of
his offence was meant to glorify Your Lord. He did a
great service for the benefit of humanity to erase any
confusion. You should go back to Him. Forgive Bhrigu
muni and serve your Lord Srinivasa’s desire to have
your company.”

Lakshmi was pleased to hear the advice of Kapila
muni. With a blissful heart, she travelled through the
stem of the lotus flower that the Lord installed in the
pond. She appeared on the whorl of the flower at the
side of Srinivasa. Together they were as effulgent as
millions of suns. Srinivasa and Lakshmi gazed upon
each other. They were united again.

Bhrigu muni begs forgiveness of
Lakshmi devi

Bhrigu muni approached the effulgent lotus flower as
did many other demigods, sages, saintly kings (rishis)
and devotees. He offered his homage again and again
with tears of repentance and begged forgiveness
from Lakshmi for his terrible offence. Lakshmi smiled.
She said, “You are forgiven. You have done nothing
wrong. This was all the will of My beloved Lord and
you were just an instrument of His desire.”
