SB 8.5.9: In this sixth manvantara millennium, Lord Vishnu, the master of the universe, appeared in His partial expansion. He was begotten by Vairaja in the womb of his wife, Devasambhuti, and His name was Ajita.

 

SB 8.5.10: By churning the ocean of milk, Ajita produced nectar for the demigods. In the form of a tortoise, He moved here and there, carrying on His back the great mountain known as Mandara.

 

SB 8.5.11-12: King Parikshit inquired: O great brahmana, Sukadeva Gosvami, why and how did Lord Vishnu churn the ocean of milk? For what reason did He stay in the water as a tortoise and hold up Mandara Mountain? How did the demigods obtain the nectar, and what other things were produced from the churning of the ocean? Kindly describe all these wonderful activities of the Lord.

 

Was Ajita born from the womb of Devasambhuti in the form of a tortoise or did he assume that form later on? Is there some other Purana that describes this?
