'Sagar' as a personality has been mentioned but is there a 'Ksherrsagar personality' too? like Sheeshnaag's?

Lord Vishnu simultaneously is present in different forms. One of them is in Kshirsagar. It is an ocean a form of Lord Vishnu resides inside this ocean. It is this ocean which was chrurned during sagar manthan.

There is also a king named Sagar but one difference in pronunciation. The word "Sagar" as in Sagar manthan has first 'a' as long i.e. it is pronounced Saagar. But king "Sagar" has both a's as short. Bhagirathi, who brought Ganga to Earth, was a descendant of king Sagar.

@ Vrish:

Do you remember during Ramayan days we once (or on many occasions) discussed about Sati/Parvati coming to meet Lord Ram during the Vanvas to test Him? Do you remember if we discussed that under the D&D thread? I just want to refresh my mind on this topic as it has just come bk again. As I was just thinking, Lord Ram was present on this earth during TretaYug & if it was Sati then does it mean that Daksh was still ruling (He was the King of which land?) and that the Yagna He performed where Sati immolated herself wasnt performed until the end of TretaYug or so? Also I think in NDTV Ramayan when Sitaji prays to Ma Gauri she mentions 'Gauri,  Ganesh, Parvati' in that song...i think we have discussed on this topic already...what conclusion did we get to then? I'll also try to find the topic where we discussed it.

So Kshirsagar and Sagar both equals one? So it was Kshirsagar that was churned. Thank you.

Yes, Kshirsagar was churned. Kshirsagar and Sagar as in Sagar manthan mean the same. But Kshirsagar and Sagar as in King Sagar are different.

Notice how Shiv spelt backwards is Vish(nu) and Vish(nu) spelt backwards is Shiv... as in if you take the Hindi spelling... as "Sh" is one akshar/letter.

Quite a few things here, so let me address it all in 1 post.  Akhl, hope you get your response on the conflict management advice.

Samudra manthan coincides w/ Kurma avatar, which was followed later by Varaha, Narasimha & Vamana avatars.  IIRC, Hiranyakashipu's death was when the Satya Yuga ended and the Treta Yuga began.  But I'm not aware of what was going on in Kailash @ the time.

The pilgrim sites where various parts of Sati's body fell are known as Shakti Peethas, 52 in total or so.

Some say there is 108 Shakti Peeths...

Sati's story happened way near the beginning of creation time, not like Shri Ram's time! Most of all the stories happened before Shri Ram's time!

This Ksheersagar and Sagar thing is confusing. Sagar means ocean doesn't it?

Some say that  when Parvati or Sati came to test Shri Ram disguised as Sita ji  since then Lord Shiva could never fully accept Her as His wife, hence one of the reason for Sati/Parvati to incarnate. Is this right?
