Tīrthapāda (तीर्थपाद) corresponds to Pādatīrtha, one of the Tīrthas (“sacred water-bodies”) mentioned in the Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya, a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple in eleven chapters, written before the 14th century and claiming to be part of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa.—A māhātmya usually describes the Tīrthas (sacred water-bodies) in the surroundings of the centres that figure in that māhātmya. In the eleventh chapter Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya, too, we find a list of Tīrthas around the Tiruvanantapuram Temple [e.g., Pādatīrtha] describing its legends and glory.
