because She has many other virtues, She is the source of what is to be desired, both there and in other places also. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The words "sā eva" (she indeed) are understood from the previous sūtra.

It is also said in the scriptures: ātma-vidyā ca devi tvaṁ vimukti-phala-dāyinī "O goddess of fortune, You are the Lord's spiritual knowledge. You are the giver of liberation." If the goddess of fortune were not spiritual it would be improper to ascribe these two qualities (all-pervasiveness and giving liberation) to her. That the
