Nama 9

Shridhara

One who has SriLakshmi in his heart . He who supports godess lakshmi

Sridara means:‘Dhah’ denotes bearing; ‘Rah’ stands for giving blissful joy

The Lord has no need for deriving joy from any external being or source, since he is ‘svaramana’ and ‘ApatakAma’;

It is SriH instead who derives joy by being seated on His chest, without ever becoming a ’cause’ or ‘source’ for the Lord to experience joy.
