Dasakam: 2 Shlokam:5
लक्ष्मीस्तावकरामणीयकहृतैवेयं परेष्वस्थिरे-
त्यस्मिन्नन्यदपि प्रमाणमधुना वक्ष्यामि लक्ष्मीपते ।
ये त्वद्ध्यानगुणानुकीर्तनरसासक्ता हि भक्ता जना-
स्तेष्वेषा वसति स्थिरैव दयितप्रस्तावदत्तादरा ॥५॥

Oh Lakshmipathi ! In support of my statement that Lakshmi being attached to Thy enchantment is fickle with others. Her fickleness is only with regard to those who have no love or respect for Thee.She stays permanently with those devotees. Who are ever praising Thy qualities and worshiping Thee. She remains there because she is keen to listen attentively to the praises of her beloved Lord.
