Varaha Avatar

Varaha is also called the Boar. Varaha is the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Varaha appeared in the Satya Yuga. The Lord appeared in order to defeat Hiranyaksha. Hiranyaksha was a demon who had prayed for Lord Brahma and was awarded with a boon that no beast nor man nor God could kill him. From the list of beasts the name of Boar was missing. This was a blessing in disguise. Hiranyaksha started to show his cruelty to the worlds. He pushed the world to the Pataal loka or the under of the sea. When Lord Brahma was asleep he stole he stole the Vedas, the Holy Scriptures and started performing cruel acts in the world. To get back the Vedas from the demon Lord Vishnu took the role of a Boar and there was a battle with each other for a period which lasted for about thousand years. Finally the battle was won by Lord Vishnu (Varaha). Varaha brought out the earth from under the ocean, using its two tusks and restored it to its place in the universe. The Lord then killed Hiranyaksha and got back the Vedas from the demons and handed over it to the safe custody of the Lord Brahma. In this avatar Lord Vishnu married Bhoomi Devi (Earth) in this avatar.
