Indeed, You diminished this burden formerly by incarnating in the form of a fish, a horse (Hayagriva), a tortoise, a lion (Lord Nrsimha), a boar (Lord Varaha) and a swan.
You also incarnated as Lord Ramacandra, Parasurama and Vamana the dwarf.
You have always protected us demigods and the universe in this way.
Now please continue.’
