6#13c. The tusk of a boar.
Hiranyaakshan stole the earth and hid it. Vishnu took the avatar as a boar to rid the world of this trouble.
He appeared as a small pig from Brahma’s nose. Soon it grew as big as the mount Meru. It dug below and
brought out the world. It established the earth as before. But it also became vary proud and arrogant and
started digging the earth with its tusks. Siva wanted to punish it. He broke away one of the tusks of the
boar. The boar came to its right senses immediately. Siva wore the crescent shaped tusk in his chest as an
ornament.
