'''Kṣīrodakaśāyī-Viṣṇu'''{{pronunciation needed|date=August 2020}} is one of the [[Purusha sukta#Purusha|puruṣa]] [[Avatar|Āvatāra]] of [[Narayana|Nārāyaṇa]].<br />
<br />
In [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gauḍīya Vaishnavism]], a school of [[Vaishnavism|Vaiṣṇavism]], the Sātvata-tantra describes three different forms, or aspects, of Vishnu as Mahavishnu, [[Garbhodaksayi Vishnu|Garbhodakśayī-Viṣṇu]] and '''Kṣīrodakaśāyī Vishnu'''. Kṣīrodakaśāyī-Viṣṇu resides in the heart of every living creature as a four hand expansion similar to that of [[Mahavishnu|Mahāviṣṇu]]. He is also referred to as ''Paramātmā'' or ''super soul''. His abode is the [[Vaikunta|Vaikuṇṭha]]. His personal abode is Kshirasagara (Milk Ocean) and He is realised as Aniruddha expansion of Nārāyaņa.<br />
