In a previous cosmic cycle, Lakshmi was born as the daughter of the sage Bhrigu and his wife Khyati, before abandoning the heavens and re-emerging from the Ocean of Milk during the Samudra Manthan in the present age.
⚠ The Vishnu Purana 1.8 presents Lakshmi as Bhrigu's daughter in a prior cycle, while the Bhagavata Purana 8.8 describes her emergence from the ocean without prior parentage. Both are widely accepted as different accounts across cosmic cycles.
