Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth

According to the puranas, she was incarnated as the daughter of the sage Bhrigu and his wife Khyati.
She was later born out of Ksheer Sagar (ocean of milk) while being churned. Hence, her appellation, Ksheera Samudra Raja Kanya.
As consort of Vishnu, she is born as his spouse whenever he incarnates.
When Vishnu appeared as Vamana, Parasurama, Rama, Krishna, she appeared as Padma or Kamala, Dharani, Sita and Rukmini, respectively.
She is as inseparable from Vishnu as speech from meaning or knowledge from intellect, or good deeds from righteousness.
Her four hands represent the four ends of human life: dharma or righteousness, "kama" or desires, "artha" or wealth, and "moksha" or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
