Khyāti is the wife of Bhṛgu Muni. Śrī Kṛshṇa tells King Yudhishṭhira that in ancient times Lakshmī appeared from Bhṛgu Muni by his wife Khyāti, and Bhṛgu gave her in marriage to Bhagavān Vishṇu. In the aṅgapūjā of the Śrīpañcamī vrata, Khyāti is also a name of Lakshmī: with the mantra to Khyāti one does pūjā of the navel.
