from Brahma that he should be able to protect all the creatures at
the time of dissolution. The boon was granted and then the king one
day at thetime of offering oblation to the Pitris, noticed a small fish
in the palm of his hand. He put it in the water of pot which the fish
fully occupied by waring during the course of the day. Then the king
kept it in a jar and the same thing happened again. The fish was
then thrown into well, and when it could not be contained there, then
into a pond, after which into a river, and finally the fish was
consigned to the ocean. When the piscine form filled the whole ocean
by its giant size, the king became perplexed and asked him as to his
real identity, Saying, "Are you the Lord of the Asuras, or God
N膩r膩ya峁嘺 himself? How can any one else behave like this? O ! I
have known the truth; you are certainly Lord Vis峁噓, the cosmic deity
in the form of the fish." The fish replied; "verily O king, you have
known the truth. Soon the earth will be submerged under water.
Look here at this boat which all the hosts of gods have improvised
for the protection of living beings; place them on the ship and the
same is rocked convulsively by the furious winds of dissolution, then
fasten into my horn or cranial protuberance when the dissolution is
over, you will be the Praj膩pati of the world." Being asked by Manu
Lord Vi峁�nu foretells the way in which the dissolution takes place.
Also he had said that in the dissolution all gods and other living
creatures will be burnt excepting the moon, the sun, Brahma, the
four world protectors, sage M膩rk膩峁囜笉eya Bhava, the Vedas, the
pur膩峁嘺s and subsidary sciences. In the beginning of the creation you
will be instructed the vedas. Accordingly there things took place
after Lord Vis峁噓 vanished from Manu's vision.
