ṣmīᲹ岹Բ (लक्ष्मीजनार्द�) refers to one of the many varieties of the Śālagrāma (ammonite fossil stones).—The ṣmīᲹ岹Բ refers to the similair-looking Lakṣmīnārāyaṇa stone, but without the Բ. Śālagrāma stones are very ancient geological specimens, rendered rounded and smooth by water-currents in a great length of time. They (e.g., Lakṣmī-janārdana stones) are distinguished by the ammonite (ś, described as �-īṭa�, “adamantine worms�) which having entered into them for residence, are fossilized in course of time, leaving discus-like marks inside the stone.
