CC Ādi 16.76
‘śrī’-śabde, ‘lakṣmī’-śabde — eka vastu ukta
punar-ukta-prāya bhāse, nahe punar-ukta
Word for word:
śrī
-
śabde
— by the word śrī;
lakṣmī
-
śabde
— by the word lakṣmī;
eka
vastu
— one thing;
ukta
— is indicated;
punar

Translation:
“Although the words ‘śrī’ and ‘lakṣmī’ convey the same meaning and are therefore almost redundant, they are nevertheless not redundant.
