Avatāra-kathā — The Puruṣa, the Many Incarnations, and Kṛṣṇa as Svayam Bhagavān
द्वितीयं तु भवायास्य रसातलगतां महीम् । उद्धरिष्यन्नुपादत्त यज्ञेश: सौकरं वपु: ॥ ७ ॥
dvitīyaṁ tu bhavāyāsya rasātala-gatāṁ mahīm uddhariṣyann upādatta yajñeśaḥ saukaraṁ vapuḥ
ในอวตารที่สอง พระยัชเญศะผู้เป็นเจ้าแห่งยัญญะทรงรับกายเป็นวราหะ เพื่อความผาสุกของแผ่นดิน พระองค์ทรงยกโลกที่ตกลงสู่รสาตละขึ้นมา
The indication is that for each and every incarnation of the Personality of Godhead, the particular function executed is also mentioned. There cannot be any incarnation without a particular function, and such functions are always extraordinary. They are impossible for any living being to perform. The incarnation of the boar was to take the earth out of Pluto’s region of filthy matter. Picking up something from a filthy place is done by a boar, and the all-powerful Personality of Godhead displayed this wonder to the asuras, who had hidden the earth in such a filthy place. There is nothing impossible for the Personality of Godhead, and although He played the part of a boar, by the devotees He is worshiped, staying always in transcendence.
FAQs
In 1.3.7, the Bhāgavatam states that the Lord (Yajñeśa) took the boar form to uplift the earth that had fallen into Rasātala, showing His protective, world-sustaining incarnation.
Because all yajña (sacrifice and sacred duty) is ultimately meant for Viṣṇu; as the supreme enjoyer and protector, He presides over and sanctifies sacrificial order and dharma.
The verse inspires trust that the Divine uplifts what has “fallen”—encouraging devotees to protect dharma, care for the earth, and seek God’s shelter when life feels submerged in difficulty.
