Vaikuntha)
Vaikuntha (Sanskrit वैकुण्ठ, vaikuntha), Param Padam (‘supreme abode’), or Paramapadham is the abode of Lord Narayana. It is believed, in the tradition of Vaishnavites, to be the place of eternal bliss, exclusive to the Lord, His eternal consort which is the Goddess Lakshmi, and the three-folded Serpent Sesha Naga, upon whom the Lord and His wife are believed to rest.[1]
