SUMMARY: Sri Hari is forever free from the demerits of negative and vicious emotions like disappointment, attachment, victory, glory or defeat. He is full of Jnana or knowledge. He is an ocean of kindness as he constantly protects and guards those who have faith in his lotus-like feet. Clearing or pardoning all the sins committed by his devotees, the Lord is the ultimate protector and he fulfills the desires of his devotees.

Some scholars are of the view that in all the incarnations, Lord Hari displays positive and negative emotions. When Seetha was presumably abducted by Ravana, Srirama displayed utter dejection, disappointment and nostalgia. When Lakshmana was tied down by the Sarpastra, Srirama displayed agony, anxiety and pain. However, such actions and reactions are lessons for humanity. Srirama is never distressed or worried. He has no love nor hatred. That is why, when Ravana died, it was Srirama who advised Vibheeshana to arrange for the final rites.

SUMMARY: Lord Sri Hari has protected the virtuous with their culture and tradition through Matsya (Fish), VarAha (pig), Narasihma (LionMan), bravest Vamana, Parashurama, who was born as the son of Renuke, Srirama, who killed demons such as Ravana and Kumbhakarna, Balarama (Krishn), who killed Dhenukasura, clever BudDha, who killed Tripurasura and other demons and Kalki, who killed Kali and other demons.

Although it appears that Balarama killed Dhenukasura, it was Krishna who was within Balarama to empower him to kill the demon, say commentators.

The ten incarnations of Sri Hari mentioned in this staza are considered to be outstanding, significant and important. Apart from these ten incarnations, Lord Hari has innumerable incarnations.
