Her essential nature as a devout servant".
SrI v. v. rAmAnujan explains this as: "pirATTi is in the form of His auspicious
qualities in His Transcendental Form, as His beauty (saundaryam) in His divya
ma'ngala vigraha form, and as His Support as well as servant", as described in
the SrI pA'ncarAtra samhitA. She is also His Ruler in that He does not act
without consent and approval from Her - SrI ISAh asya sa SrI-Sah. SrI v. v.
rAmAnujan points to the nAma SrI-patih (nAma 610) in this context.
SrI BhaTTar also refers us to SrI sanatkumAra samhitA 113, describing
lakshmi as the Ruler of bhagavAn: - "pum pradhAna Isvara IsvarI" - lakshmi is
the Ruler of the individual souls, or prakRti, and of the Ruler Himself.
SrI Samkara interprets the nAma as meaning that He is the Lord of wealth -
Sriya ISah SrISah.
The nAma can thus be understood as illustrating that bhagavAn is the Lord of
all wealth, and He is also the Lord of lakshmi, who in turn is His Ruler as well.

This nAma occurred earlier as nAma 185 (Slokam 20). The gist of the
vyAkhyAnam for the nAma in Slokam 20 is included here.
a) In Slokam 20, SrI BhaTTar interprets the nAma based on the incident of
bhagavAn churning the Milky Ocean. lakshmi emerges from the Ocean and
takes Her place on His vaksha-sthalam, with the declaration as captured by
nammAzhvAr: "agagillEn iRaiyum enRu alarmEl ma'ngai uRai mArban (tiruvAi
mozhi 6. 10. 10)".
SrI v. v. rAmAnujan gives several references:
