SUMMARY: Sri Hari, supreme Lord of unparalleled bravery, incarnated as a brother of ‘human’ Adishesha, as a son of Lord Yama (Narayana Avatara); subsequently, he incarnated as a brother of that form and came to be known as Hari (incarnation of Hari) and to make the righteous people happy, he himself incarnated as the brother of that Hari form(Sri Krishnavatara).

This stanza mentions three incarnations of Sri Vishnu namely Narayana, Hari and Krishna. All these three forms were direct incarnations of Lord Vishnu under the pretext of being sons of Lord Yama or the God of Death, as mentioned by Sri Madhwacharyaru in his Bharata Tatparya Nirnaya – 2/7/6.

This form of Sri Hari is said to have been born as the son of Dharmaraya, as stated in Bhava Prakashika:

अयं हरिनामा उदपादि हरिर्ह्ययं धर्मतनयॊ नारायणॊ नाम॥

Further, this form of Sri Hari is among the twenty-four names recited with Keshava, Narayana and so on. This form of Sri Krishna is one of the forms such as VasiShTha Krishna, YAdavakrishna etc., which are attributed under different circumstances. Sri Krishna is hailed by the inhabitants of Nandagao as Giridhara or GiriDhAra after he lifts Govardhana hill. Similarly, he is hailed and called by different names following various magical and mysterious acts. The Narayana form referred to in this stanza is said to be that of Sri Narayana who was being met by Sri Madhwacharyaru in Uttara Badari and this form was worn by Sri Vishnu to lure the demons and preserve the righteous.

With this stanza, Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru concludes his narration and description of various incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
