In His appearance as a fish, the Lord protected Satyavrata Manu, the earth and her valuable herbs. He protected them from the waters of annihilation. As a boar, the Lord killed Hiraṇyākṣa, the son of Diti, while delivering the earth from the universal waters. And as a tortoise, He lifted Mandara Mountain on His back so that nectar could be churned from the ocean. The Lord saved the surrendered king of the elephants, Gajendra, who was suffering terrible distress from the grips of a crocodile.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

भगवान् विष्णुने अपने स्वरूपमें एकरस स्थित रहते हुए भी सम्पूर्ण जगत‍्के कल्याणके लिये बहुत-से कलावतार ग्रहण किये हैं। विदेहराज! हंस, दत्तात्रेय, सनक-सनन्दन-सनातन-सनत्कुमार और हमारे पिता ऋषभके रूपमें अवतीर्ण होकर उन्होंने आत्मसाक्षात्कारके साधनोंका उपदेश किया है। उन्होंने ही हयग्रीव-अवतार लेकर मधु-कैटभ नामक असुरोंका संहार करके उन लोगोंके द्वारा चुराये हुए वेदोंका उद्धार किया है॥ १७॥ प्रलयके समय मत्स्यावतार लेकर उन्होंने भावी मनु सत्यव्रत, पृथ्वी और ओषधियोंकी—धान्यादिकी रक्षा की और वराहावतार ग्रहण करके पृथ्वीका रसातलसे उद्धार करते समय हिरण्याक्षका संहार किया। कूर्मावतार ग्रहण करके उन्हीं भगवान्‌ने अमृत-मन्थनका कार्य सम्पन्‍न करनेके लिये अपनी पीठपर मन्दराचल धारण किया और उन्हीं भगवान् विष्णुने अपने शरणागत एवं आर्त भक्त गजेन्द्रको ग्राहसे छुड़ाया॥ १८॥
