Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Vedantic depth
*Draviṇa* in Sanskrit encompasses far more than material wealth. It includes vitality (prāṇa-śakti), progeny, wisdom, and ultimately the supreme wealth of liberation (mokṣa). The Puruṣa Sūkta itself declares Viṣṇu as the source of all abundance: *"Tāṃ yajñena puruṣeṇa..."* **Scriptural references
The Phala-śruti of the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma itself declares that the recitation of these names bestows *dharma, artha, kāma,* and *mokṣa* — the four puruṣārthas. As Draviṇapradaḥ, Viṣṇu is the fountainhead of all four. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (2.3.10) states that those who seek Viṣṇu receive the highest wealth — His own devotion — while lesser seekers receive lesser boons from lesser deities. **Śrī Sūkta connection
The Śrī Sūkta of the Ṛg Veda Khila, dedicated to Mahālakṣmī, is intimately linked to Viṣṇu as Draviṇapradaḥ — for Lakṣmī, the consort of Viṣṇu, is the direct śakti through whom He bestows all prosperity. To worship Viṣṇu is to access the inexhaustible treasury of Lakṣmī.
