Padmanābhavijaya (पद्मनाभविजय) is the name of a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple.—Several works other than the Purāṇas speak about the glory of the Tiruvanantapuram temple, such as the Syānandūrapurāṇasamuccaya, the Padmanābhodaya by Śaṅku, the Padmanābhacarita by Kṛṣṇaśarman (see Raja 1958, 169–170) and the Padmanābhakīrtana (see Raja 1958, 173) give light on the temple as well as on its glorification. There are also many minor works on the temple, such as the Padmanābhapañcaka (see Raja 1958, 257), the Padmanābhastuti (see Raja 1958, 242), the Padmanābhavijaya of Subramaṇya (see Raja 1958, 172), etc.
