Slokam 7

The slokam elucidates on why Mahalakshmi chooses the Paramathma to be Her husband, over others such as Brahma and Shiva. Mahalakshmi sees that only the Paramathma is perfect in all respects.  All others present were not blemishless. 

The question arises that there should never be any doubt in Mahalakshmi’s mind that the Paramathma is supreme.  It can be conceded that Mahalakshmi is endowed with the supreme vision to discern the qualities of those around her.   The Paramathma,  by being one who is beyond the rules of normal life is not subject to its constraints.  All of  the others are. Would not this one attribute of eternity alone make Him the most desirable? 

The answer lies in the (then) process of swayamvaram by which a lady of marriageable age chose her husband.

Per Wikipedia;

Swayamvara (Sanskrit: स्वयंवर, IAST: svayaṃvara), in ancient India, was a practice in which a girl of marriageable age chose a husband from a group of suitors. In this context, "swayam" in Sanskrit means self and "vara" means groom. A girl wishing to marry would select an auspicious time and venue and then broadcast her intentions. Kings typically sent messengers to outside lands, while commoners simply spread the news within the local community. On the appointed day, the girl garlanded the man of her choice and a marriage ceremony was held immediately.

So Mahalakshmi and the Paramathma can be thought of as going  through with the due process to comply with the socially accepted norms. 

May we always comply with the due process of social norms and yet retain the relationship of permanence with the Paramathma and Mahalakshmi.
