"Mythili (sItA), the daughter of Janaka, is surely bent upon showing her grace
to those who make their obeisance to Her. O rAkshasis! She is capable of
protecting us from this danger" - words of trijaTA to rAkshasi-s.

Sriyam loke devajushTAmudArAm (SrIsUktam 5)
(vishNu purANam 1. 9. 120)
(SrI sUktam 2)
lakshmi, who is worshipped by the gods for getting their ends accomplished, or
who is loved by nArAyaNa Himself, and who is bounteous in Her gifts.
SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj gives the explanation that bhagavAn has the
nAma SreyaS-SrImAn because He possesses the most exquisite SrI-s in the
form of His ornaments etc. -
SreyasI atiSaya SobhamAnA SrIr-vesha racanA nUpura yugala kA'ncI kaTaka
keyUra kuNDala kirITAdimatI yasya iti Sreyah SrImAn.
He gives the support from amarakoSa - SreyAn-SreshThah pushkalah syAt
sattamS-cAtisobhane (3. 1. 58).
In SrI Samkara vyAkhyAnam, this nAma is treated as two separate nAma-s -
Sreyah and SrImAn. In this interpretation, bhagavAn is called Sreyah because
He is Salvation, the Ultimate Goal of Eternal Bliss. He is called SrImAn
because He is the Possessor of SrI (SrI here meaning His power, splendor, and
supreme wisdom).
