After giving the chronology and contents of the Vai峁ａ箛ava
Pur膩峁嘺s, in the third chapter, the thesis in its fourth chapter devotes
to bring out the salient features of the ten Avat膩ras of Lord Vi峁ａ箛u.
Rare traces of the concept of different Avat膩ras are found in
the Vedic literature. The Satapatha Br膩hma峁嘺 provides important
indications of Vamana incarnation and so on. The circumstances which
necessitated these incarnations and the mighty deeds accomplished
by Lord Vi峁ａ箛u on those occasions are graphically and extensively
described. The study of these incarnations of Lord Vis峁噓 point to an
elevated growth of the complex social and political norms in the
human culture. For instance, it is suggested that in the beginning of
the creation of the world, there were waters everywhere, and to suit
this condition of the world, the first incarnation of Lord Vi峁ａ箛u in the
form of a fish took place in order to protect the eternal Vedic knowledge.
It
may be said here that the earth began gradually to take shape
among those waters, and therefore in His second incarnation, Lord
Vi峁ａ箛u appeared in the form of Kurma which can move with ease both
in water and on land. But, as a matter of fact, Lord Vis峁噓 willed to
protect the universe through the gods, from the clutches of the
demons. The successful accomplishment of churning the milk
ocean was for the betterment of the world. Lord Vi峁ａ箛u held the
Mandara mountain on His back, in the form of K奴rma. This ideology
of preserving the Universe stood out in the description of the
incarnations of Var膩ha, V膩mana and N峁泂imha. The development of
family life and domestic virtues are said to have been symbolically
represented by these Vai峁ａ箛ava incarnations.
