It is pertinent to note that, in this episode Sri #MahaLakshmi is only acting as per prerana and directions of Her Lord Bhagavantha #Vishnu and became a platform for the Supreme God to descent on Earth as #Venkateswara/#Srinivasa. ++
#LAKSHMINARAYANA the SupremeGod & Goddess R inseparable. They always live together. Where Lakshmi is not present #SriHari will not B there; where SriHari is not there #Lakshmi doesn't stay. The Divine couple R inseparable. They R not separated even when they manifest as avatara's
Goddess Lakshmi takes a suitable form as per Lord's directions/will and adjusts herself according to the embodiments of Lord Vishnu. She (Goddess Lakshmi) cannot be without Lord Vishnu even for a fraction of a second. ++
Lord Vishnu (Srinivasa) is eulogized as #Srivatsavaksha#Srivaasa#Sripathi the one who bears an auspicious mole (emblem) on his Chest #Srivatsavaksha. This auspicious mole is none other than Goddess Lakshmi. ++
One can imagine the holiness of Swami Pushkarini at Tirumala Kshethra on the banks of which Lord SriniVaasa is delightedly stationed along with Goddess #Rama (Lakshmi Devi) since time immemorial. ++
Lord Venkateswara is #Adhokshaja. For ordinary human beings he is just a Shila Vigraha, but at Tirumala Kshethra He is standing in His original roopa (#Aprakrutha) which is beyond our perception.

Generally we come across this ancient maxim to indicate that when all the methods of mending a person/bringing things under control are exhausted like #Saama-#Daana-#Bheda; as a last resort #Dandam is invoked. +
Complete version that I have come across is as follows...

Phalguna Sukla Dwiteeya, the auspicious day,
the sacred name, powerful Tharaka mantra, #RaAgHavendra🙏took birth in the year 1621.
