as the indirect reason for the famous churning of the ocean. The Srimad Bhagavata and Agni Purana also mention Durvasa's involvement in the episode in passing, without going into the details. Other sources for this story, such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Harivamsa and Matsya Purana, do not mention Durvasa's involvement at all and ascribe the incident to other causes, such as the devas' and asuras' desire for immortality.
The story in the Vishnu Purana goes that Durvasa, while wandering the earth in a state of ecstasy

(The spot where Durvasa meditated is south-west to the temple and the water sprouts turned into a tank, Jalavanthy)
