Artham (अर्थम्).—From the forehead of Mahāviṣṇu a golden lotus grew up from which Śrī Devī was born. Dharmārthas (Dharma=righteousness and artha=wealth) also were born from Śrī. "From the forehead of Viṣṇu, sprung up a golden lotus and His wise spouse Śrī arose there from and oh, Pāṇḍava, righteousness and wealth came into being from Śrī". (Bhāṣābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 59, Stanzas 130 & 131).
