I read the classical reference by Mr.Dileepan on this avathaaram, from 4000. I have not read the Sriman Naaraayanaa puraanam in complete. But my mind goes after certain classified information on meditation and references to such in each puraana I read. In Durga puraanam, it is mentioned that Lord "Parasu Raman",tough being an Avathaar of "aathimoolam" has to worship Durga for for certain relief. ie After accomplishing his mission destroying shathriyaas all over, he felt that he still was followed by the cures "Maatru Banga Betham". ie He hacked his mother as perhis father's advise but then got her own life back as a boon from his father. The action of hacking his own "life giver" was not nullified by the getting back the life. ie Even the Lord was bound by that Karma or that "action-reaction cycle" and so he sought the blessings of "Kanaka Durgha" (HER temple is in AP) by doing a severe penenance for years and finally got her blessings and was relieved from his "Karma" on "Maatru Beda bangam". This is anoter classical example that no one is exceptional to the Karmic cycle, and Bakthi yoga can relieve one from the adverse reaction due to one's bad karma's. I invite some comments and am interested in knowing any other such karmic references of HIS Avathaarams. Sorry for some typos, my key board is old and I typed it on line. I shall type and proof read nextg time. Bear with me Sam Rengi
