Translation
Among the enterprising I am fortune, and among the cheaters I am gambling. I am the forgiveness of the tolerant and the good qualities of those in the mode of goodness.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Among the enterprising, I am fortune, and among the cheaters, I am gambling. I am the tolerance in those who are tolerant and the sattva of those in sattva.
Lakṣmīḥ means wealth. I am the sattva in sattvic beings.
