Her hidden greatness She is the direct manifestation of 'Bhu' form Mahalaxmi (Satyabhama) to help Gauranga Mahaprabhu in distributing love which is the most important wealth (premdhan). When she was in her wealthy mood she was Laxmipriya which have been transformed into Vishnupriya when she was in her love-devotion mood due to Mahaprabhu's will and thus named Vishnupriya that is beloved of Vishnu. Some texts say that in Sri Krishna lila she appeared as Satyabhama that is incarnation of her Bhu(earth) form, the daughter of King Satrajit. Satyabhama was married to Sri Krishna and was one of the principle queen of Sri Krishna. King Satrajit from Sri Krishna lila appeared in Sri Gaura lila as Sri Sanatan Mishra. Mother Satyabhama appeared in the house of Sanatan Mishra as his daughter – Sri Vishnupriya devi. She is the 'Bhu Shakti' – Earth potency. Sri Krsna in His Narayan form or Vishnu tattva form has His divine Shakti [ Mahalaxmi] who herself manifested into three potencies – Sri laxmi (her divine valuables), Bhu laxmi (the Goddess of Earth in which she representes fertility and patience), and Nila laxmi (the Goddess of pastimes). Bhu is the energy that creates the cosmic manifestation (nicely explained in Sri Caitanya-Charitamrita Adi lila initial chapters). Bhu-sakti also assists in manifesting Sri Krsna’s pastimes in Vrindavan, the place of His pastimes as they are displayed on the Earth planet in this universe and innumerable other universes. The goddess of this Earth, Prithivi devi, is also included within this potency.
