Lord Matsya Sthuthi

Sradhadeva still worships the ‘Matsya avatharam’ of Bhagavan who saved him as King Sathyavratha from ‘pralayam’ in Ramyaka varsham.

“Namaskaram to the Lord who resides in every one and moves around everywhere as Prana. Vedas manifest from Your sound. The entire world plays like puppets in your hands. You are the Protector, yet remains Unknown”.

The story says, in the end, Bhagavan in the form of a Matsyam ties a gigantic boat that carries the Earth and King Sathyavratha and flashes through the ocean of Time.

Note – this story part depicts the importance of Matsyavatharam. Here Bhagavan is described as the Prana that controls every living being in creation.

He is the protector of the flow of life in this creation.

(Bhagavatham 5.18.24 – 5.18.28)
