182. OM MAHADRIDHRUTE NAMA: ॐ महाद्रीधृते नम:
During churning of the Ocean, supported Mountain Mandara.
The Lord is capable of supporting anything. Today's [10th November 2008] Divine name is from Dhamal [தாமல்], near Thrupputkuzhi [திருப் புட்குழி], on the Madras - Bangalore highway. The Lord of this place is Sri Damodara [ஸ்ரீ தாமோதரன்]. Due to Durvasa's curse Sri MahaLakshmi disappered. The Lord advised Devas to churn the ocean. Mountain Mandara and great snake Vasuki were used to churn the ocean by Devas and Asuras. But their combined power was insufficient and so the Lord using His Thousands of hands churned from both sides. But the mountain due to its weight started sinking and the Lord appeared as the great Tortoise, Sri Koorma, and supported the mountain at the bottom. Plus the Lord also held the mountain from swinging by holding its peak! All this the Lord did to acquire His Consort! During churning the mountain's movement on Its back was like scratching for the Lord Sri Koorma! So, Swami Desika says that the Lord slept and the sound of the snore roared all over!! Adri means mountain and so this Divine name suggests the Lord supporting mountain. The Lord also supported Govardhana giri, for Seven days!
