In Hindu cosmology, the Ocean of Milk (Sanskrit: Kṣīra Sāgara, Tamil: Tiruppāṟkaṭal, Malayalam: Pālāḻi) 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 elixir of immortal life. It is spoken of in the Samudra Manthana chapter of the Puranas, a body of ancient Hindu legends. The Kshira Sagara is described to be the place where the deity Vishnu reclines over his serpent-mount Shesha, accompanied by his consort, Lakshmi.
