Kshira Sagara
Divine ocean in Hindu mythology
Kshira Sagara
In Hindu cosmology, the Kshira Sagara (Sanskrit: Kṣīra Sāgara; Tamil: Pāṟkaṭal; Malayalam: Pālāḻi; Telugu: Pala Samudram) or Ocean of Milk is the fifth from the centre of the seven oceans. It surrounds the continent known as Krauncha. According to Hindu scriptures, the devas and asuras worked together for a millennium to churn this ocean in order to acquire amrita, the nectar of immortality. The episode is mentioned in the Samudra Manthana chapter of the Puranas, a body of ancient Hindu legends. The Kshira Sagara is described as the place where the deity Vishnu reclines over his serpent-mount Shesha, accompanied by his divine consort, Lakshmi.
