भारतं सर्वे शास्त्रेषु भारते गीतिका वरा – if Mahabharata is the quintessence of the Sastras, Krishna-Gita is its core and kernel. Sinha seems to support this view, adding 'Kurma was a great Avatara as He prepared the way for the spiritual regeneration of the universe, by the Churning of the ocean of Milk'. It was for a great period of time viz. The legend of the churning of the Ocean of Milk (Samudra manthan) developed in post-Vedic literature is itself inextricably linked with Kurma (as the base of the churning rod) and involves other sons of Kasyapa: the Devas/Âdityas (born from Aditi) and the Asuras/Danavas/Daityas (born from Danu and Diti) use one of the Naga (born from Kadru) as a churning rope to obtain Amrita. Krishna instructs the Devas to form a pact with the Asuras (led by Bali) to churn the ocean of milk and warns them about the emergence of the poison, Kalakuta. Kurma Purana – This Purana contains the conversation between the Lord Krishna and the Sun God as mentioned in the Bhagvad Gita. Kurma Avatar of dashavatar is explained mainly in the Bhagavad Purana, Agni Purana and Ramayana.
