Chapter 10: Avatar # 3: Varaha Avatar

Hiranyaaksha and Hiranyakashipu are born. The 2 are brothers-in-command. They are powerful, strong and natural winners. They don’t look upto anyone and hate everybody except for grave respect for each other. With such confidence, they think they can control the world and become dictators.

Chaos erupts everywhere as the H bros unleash deathly power and Nazi regimish schemes. There is blood and fire all around. H bros are exultant. Hiranyaaksha kidnaps Mother Earth (whatever that means!) and takes her to Paatal loka for obvious reasons. So she wails and prays. Vishnu is the Hearer of all wails, as well as the Healer. So he transforms into Avatar No 3: Varaha Avatar (Pig) and goes to the Paatal Loka – a place full of dirt and as unhygienic as possible. Hence the pig. And the pig saves the Mother Earth by carrying her in its extended nostrils.
