Lakṣmīśa (लक्ष्मीश) refers to “one who is the lord of wealth” and is used to describe Viṣṇu, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the seven Sages said (with false words) to Pārvatī: “[...] A befitting bridegroom for you is lord Viṣṇu endowed with all good qualities. He is a resident of Vaikuṇṭha, lord of wealth [i.e., lakṣmīśa] and is skilled in sports. O Pārvatī, with him we shall fix your marriage that will confer all happiness on you. Leave off this obduracy. Be happy. [...]”.
