TEXT 76

‘śrī’-śabde, ‘lakṣmī’-śabde—eka vastu ukta
punar-ukta-prāya bhāse, nahe punar-ukta

SYNONYMS

śrī-śabde—by the word śrī; lakṣmī-śabde—by the word lakṣmī; eka vastu—one thing; ukta—is indicated; punar-ukta-prāya—almost repetition; bhāse—appears; nahe—but actually it is not; punar-ukta—repetition.

TRANSLATION

“Although the words ‘śrī’ and ‘lakṣmī’ convey the same meaning and are therefore almost redundant, they are nevertheless not redundant.
