Vishnu’s Jasmine Like Scar Sri Vathsam Description By Krishna

Vishnu Suktham again describes the principle of Vishnu.

Sketchy description of Vishnu in Human form is found in the Puranas, especially in the Vishnu Purana,

Dhuruva Stuthi describes Vishnu's Form, but does not provide details about His Ornaments and marks .

Gopala Uttara Tapini Upanishad( 75-78) has the first reference to Lord Vishnu's Form.

'His feet bear the auspicious signs of a celestial standard, a royal parasol.

His chest is adorned by srivatsa locks of hair, the brilliantly shining kaustubha gem and rows of forest-flower garlands (vanamala).

His four hands hold shankha (conch), chakra (discus), gada (mace) and padma (lotus).

1008 Temples Of Shiva Base Kailash

The Siva rahasya Lists 1008 Abodes of Lord Shiva with Mount Kailash at the center.

The names of these Abodes contain the word 'ishwaram'

I have not been able to link them with places .

However these names, if we remove the portion 'Ishwaram', we can find the names of the Murthis of Shiva spread around India.
