One day the Rishi left Ubamanyu alone at his hermitage and went out to pluck the flowers to make a grand garland for the Almighty. He went very far. At that time in his hermitage Ubamanyu felt hungry and cried for the milk. Pleased Goddess Lakshmi Devi asked Parantahaman to come with milk to feed the child Ubamanyu. Instead of bringing little milk, the Almighty brought the entir Milky Ocean itself here to Thiruvanpurusothamam Divyadesam to feed milk to Ubamanyu. Hence temple theertham is being worshipped as Thiruparkadal.
