Tiruparkadal (Ksheerabdi)

Sthala Puranam

The Lord present here is said to be a vyuha-roopam of Paravasudevan who resides in Sri Vaikuṇṭham. Empurumaan presents Himself as Vāsudevan, Sankarshaṇan, Pradyumnan, and Aniruddhan, who are said to be vyuha-roopam of the Lord. Vāsudevan is the creator, Sankarshaṇan is the sustainer, Pradyumnan is the destroyer, and Aniruddhan represents divine knowledge. These vyuha-roopam are further said to divide into three forms each. Vāsudevan is said to represent equivalence to Keshava, Madhava, and Nārāyaṇa.

Sankarshaṇan is said to represent equivalence to Govinda, Vishṇu, and Madhusoodhan. Pradyumana is said to represent equivalence to Trivikrama, Vāmana, and Sridhara. Aniruddhan is said to represent the equivalence to Rishikesha, Padmanābhan, and Dāmodara.

The twelve of these forms are referred to as the 12 Sooriyars and Chandirans, who are found in all 12 directions. They are responsible for bringing all Jeevaathmas into existence, guiding their lives, and calculating their Paavam and Punyam.

The Ashṭākshara mantram is said to always resonate in this kshethram. To reach this kshethram, one must learn the ashtaakshara mantram from a guru and meditate upon Sri Ksheerabdi Nathan.
