The Narayana form of Vishnu is often depicted as resting on Shesha, accompanied by his consort Lakshmi. Adishesha is considered as one of the two mounts of Vishnu alongside Garuda. He is said to have descended upon Earth in the following human forms or incarnations: Lakshmana, brother of Vishnu’s incarnation Rama during the Treta Yuga, and according to some traditions, as Balarama, brother of Vishnu’s incarnation Krishna during the Dvapara Yuga. According to the Mahabharata (Adi Parva), his father was Kashyapa and his mother Kadru, though in other accounts, he is usually a primordial being created by Vishnu.

Adisesha is believed to have taken 5 incarnations on earth. During the Satya Yuga, he came down in his original form to form a seat for Vishnu’s avatar of Narasimha, who had incarnated to slay the impious Hiranyakashipu.

During the Treta Yuga, Sesha took birth as Lakshmana, as Lord Vishnu’s (as Rama) brother. Lakshmana is a very prominent character in the Ramayana, along with Hanuman and Sita.

During Dvapara Yuga, he is a stated to have incarnated as Balarama again as a brother to Vishnu (as Krishna). This is often disputed by the original line-ups of the Dasavatara, where Balarama is also considered to be an incarnation of Vishnu.

During the Kali Yuga, according to Sri Vaishnava tradition, he was born as Patanjali Maharishi, Ramanujacharya, and Manavala Mamunigal. He was not accompanied by God during the Kali Yuga. Instead, he incarnated alone to spread devotion among the people, being a peaceful incarnation.

Sri Vaishnavism also states that Balarama is an incarnation of both Vishnu and Adishesha. In the Bhagavad Gita, in the middle of the battlefield Kurukshetra, Krishna, explaining his omnipresence, says: Of Nāgas, I am Ananta” indicating the importance of Ananta Shesha.

Brass handcrafted Small Sesha Vahanam is the symbolic representation of the serpent king Vasuki. It has a significant place in Hindu mythology as it is this serpent king which is tied as rope to Mandhara Parvatham to churn milk ocean in the famous episode of “Samudra Madhanam” which originated many holy things including Kalpavriksha, Iravatha and even Goddess Lakshmi.

Vasuki is a five hooded serpent and is also called “Chinna Sesha Nagu” which is favourite of both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.

The devotees were mused by the divine beauty of Goddess Padmavathi on Chinna Sesha Vahanam.
