'''Ksirodakasayi Vishnu''' ({{Langx|sa|क्षीरोदक्शायीविष्णु|Kṣīrodakśāyīviṣṇu|lit=Vishnu's expansion who lies within the [[Kshira Sagara|Ocean of Milk]]}}) is a form of the [[Hinduism|Hindu]] god [[Vishnu]]. As the [[Paramatman|Paramatma]] (Ultimate Soul), he is described to "enter every atom and the heart of all beings as a witness, and gives remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness”.<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=1970-01-01 |title=Kshirodakshayivishnu, Kṣīrodakśāyīviṣṇu, Kshirodakshayi-vishnu: 1 definition |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kshirodakshayivishnu |access-date=2022-08-02 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref><br />

In [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gauḍīya Vaishnavism]], a school of [[Vaishnavism|Vaishṇavism]], the Sātvata-tantra describes three different forms, or aspects, of Vishnu as Mahavishnu also known as Karnodakshayi Vishnu (The form from whose breath the multiverse is born and from whose inhalation, whole multiverse of matter is drawn and engulfed), [[Garbhodaksayi Vishnu|Garbhodakśayī-Viṣṇu]] and Kṣīrodakaśāyī Vishnu (Each universe has [[Garbhodaksayi Vishnu|Garbhodakśayī-Viṣṇu]] as its base and Kṣīrodakaśāyī-Viṣṇu in every matter particles as a copied version) Kṣīrodakaśāyī-Viṣṇu resides in the heart of every living creature as a four hand expansion similar to that of [[Mahavishnu|Mahāviṣṇu]]. He is also referred to as the ''Paramātmā,'' or super soul. His abode is [[Vaikunta|Vaikunṭha]]. His personal abode is the [[Kshira Sagara]] (Ocean of Condensed Milk) and he is realised as the [[Caturvyūha|Aniruddha]] expansion of [[Narayana]].<br />

Viṣhṇu, or the deity of the quality of goodness in the material world, is the ''puruṣāvatāra'' known as Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu or Paramātmā.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://vedabase.net/sb/1/2/23/en |title=Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 2 Verse 23 |access-date=November 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123213949/http://vedabase.net/sb/1/2/23/en |archive-date=November 23, 2010 }}</ref><br />
