Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Samudrajā (समुद्रजा) refers to the “daughter of the ocean” and is used to describe Lakṣmī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.16 (“The battle of the gods”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Brahmā and the Gods: “Having said this with distressed mind, Viṣṇu the enemy of the Asuras got up quickly. The god Viṣṇu who is favourably disposed to his devotees immediately mounted his vehicle Garuḍa. On seeing her lord departing along with the gods, Lakṣmī, the daughter of the ocean (samudrajā), spoke with palms joined in reverence and tears welling up in the eyes. [...]”.
