Goddess Lakshmi replied "Oh Lord! Hermit Agastya in his anger had gulped my father, the Ocean. The great Saint Brighu had kicked you in the chest. The superior Brahmins worship my sister Goddess Saraswati, instead of me. They keep on uprooting lotus flowers from my abode to pray/worship Lord Shiva. That is why, I am displeased with the Brahmins".
