Narayaneeyam Dasakam - 12 - The Boar Incarnation
Varaha Avatharam
Jaya and Vijaya were cursed to be born on earth as asuras by the divine sages. In their first birth, they were born to Sage Kashyapa and Diti as two sons Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu. They were very cruel in nature and tormented the whole world.
Hiranyaksha seeking an opponent to fight, roamed around with a mace. Hearing that only Lord is his matching opponent through Varuna, submerged Goddess Earth in the water, wandered in the water triumphantly with mace and awaited Lord to come and fight with him to save his dear wife.
Swayambhu Manu, Brahma's son started creating the beings on earth as per his father's advice. After creation, he wanted to put the beings on the Earth. He noticed that Earth was floating in the water. He went along with other sages and requested Brahma to give him a place to put the beings created by him. Brahma contemplated on the Lord and surrendered at the Lord's feet, unable to save the earth from sinking by drinking the water.
Lord took the form of Varaha (Boar) came out through Brahma's nostril. It was small as a thumb initially, grew to size of elephant and then to a mountain, roared big and jumped in to the ocean, searching for the Goddess Earth.
Boar found earth at the floor of Rasa Thala and lifted it from the swirling waters with the tip of its tusk. Narayana Bhattathiri requested Lord Guruvayurappan, who with his Maya took the form of Varaha (Boar) and saved the Earth from sinking in ocean, to eradicate his ailments. Lord Guruvayurappan acknowledged his request immediately by nodding his head.

Then Swaayambhuva Manu who was engaged in the work of creation, saw the earth emerge in water, untimely (when there was no Pralaya). He went to Satyaloka, along with the sages and met Brahma who was serene and happy owing to his devotion to Thee.

Brahma took refuge at Thy feet, lamenting that he had already drunk the waters of the deluge and yet the earth was sinking. Feeling helpless, he knew not what to do. At that moment, Thou, who art omnipresent, came out of Brahma's nostril as a tiny boar "VARAAHA" , as small as the size of a thumb.

Thy erect smoke-coloured hair, twitching upward, Thy tail held aloft, Thy snout pointing downward and Thy eyes rolling, Thou plunged into the ocean, rapidly penetrating the clouds, delighting the sages who were singing Thy praises.

O Lord! Then seeing the earth concealed at the bottom of the Rasatala, by the wretched Asura, Thou hastily lifted it up with the tip of the tusk of the boar, a form which Thou had assumed by Maaya. Treating the Asura with disregard who was rushing at Thee. All this was a mere sport for Thee.
