Page "Jagannath" Paragraph 137

Jagannath is also worshipped as " Purusottama " (" The Best of All ").

Jagannath is worshipped along with Lord Balabhadra or Balarama who is alternatively considered to be an incarnation of Shesanaga Vasuki.

According to some scholars, Subhadra, who is worshipped along with Jagannath, is the Goddess Durga.

But some other Vaishnavite scholars regard her as the younger sister of Lord Krishna, because of the similar name.
