SVS 324 [Mahashana: - 304] (33.4)

304. OM MAHASHANAYA NAMA: महाशनाय नम:
Possesses great hungry to devour Seven worlds.

In Kumbakonam, Sri Sudarshana graces with Sri Vijayalakshmi Thayar. Sri Chakrapani is considered as another form of the Lord. Mamangam Kulam [மாமாங்கம் குளம்] is famous and once in Twelve years devotees from all over India assemble and take bath. Also on Akshaya Tridiyai [அக்ஷய திருதீயை], the rare festival of 12 Garuda seva, is celebrated annually. Mahasana means great eater! His food is all great Seven worlds, seven oceans and seven great mountains. After devouring all these, His hunger is not satisfied! Then, the Lord as an Infant, is lying on a tender banyan leaf! Why does He suck His toe? Great persons say that by sucking amrut flowing in His Divine feet, all, stored in His stomach, are properly protected!
