This story is the basis for Lord Balaji/Venkateswara incarnation of Vishnu, which is mainly popular in the South. In my family, Venkateswara is the ishta dev.

When Bhrigu hits Vishnu's chest (in which Lakshmi resides), she gets angry at Vishnu when he forgives Bhrigu so easily, and she leaves Vaikunta. Vishnu follows her, pleading with her not to go, but Mahalakshmi leaves Vaikunta and comes to Earth. She goes to Karavirapur (present day Kolhapur) and does tapasya there. Later, she unites with Lord Vishnu in the form of Goddess Padmavathi, born to Akasa Raja.

Is Lakshmi being born to Bhrigu Maharshi connected to the curse Bhrigu gives Vishnu? I always understood those incidents to be very different, and that Lakshmi was married to Vishnu long before the curse. Also, was the love story they showed true? I never read anywhere of Vishnu living at Bhrigu's ashram to woo Lakshmi.

On another note, Ashish looked very authentic in commoner clothes, but Madirakshi's makeup and getup was too modern. She did not look like a rishi kanya with her loose hair and revealing costume. She looked like a modern girl playing dress-up.

However, she looked quite good as Mahalakshmi. The Vaikunta scene looked sweet.

I was always under the illusion that it was only Narada and Vrinda/Tulsi's curse that resulted in the separation both the times. I never knew about Sage Bhrigu's curse also being a cause of their separation. 😳

The other thing that struck me was Mahadev saying that at the end of every yuga, Vishnu & Lakshmi are separated, and at the start of another yuga, they are reunited. But Rama's incarnation was the only one where Vishnu & Lakshmi were separated. Rukmini was never separated from Krishna, and if one believes the Buddha avatar, then Siddhartha voluntarily separated himself from Yashodhara. Is Kalki supposed to separate from his wives?

I think there is still a little more drama left before the haran. Sita has sent Shri Ram to get the deer while Raavan wanted Sita to come follow the deer😆

And to make us empathize with Sita more, They show her wanting the deer to tend to its injuries instead of being attracted towards it's beauty.

They should have followed my story then and let Mareech go to Sita. It would be a win-win for everyone - except Ravan 😆

I had forgotten about Radha, but yeah, she was not Lakshmi
