There are ten main incarnations of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. Of these, the incarnation of 痴腻尘补苍补 is the fifth.

Two 痴腻尘补苍补s.

Two different stories occur in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 about the incarnation of 痴腻尘补苍补. One story is about how 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 took the incarnation of 痴腻尘补苍补 and thrust 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 an asura, down to the netherworld. This story is more widely known. In the second story the place of 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 is given to the asura called Dhundhu. This is the main difference. For a comparative study, both stories are given below:

a) The first story of the incarnation of 痴腻尘补苍补. The devas (gods) such as Indra and the others were born to 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈 碍补艣测补辫补 by his wife Aditi and the asuras (demons) such as 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 and others, by his wife Diti. The Daityas (asuras) began to harm and harass the Devas to a great extent. Once Aditi, the mother of the Devas, complained to 碍补艣测补辫补 about this. He advised her to take the fast called 'Payovrata' fixing the image of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 in her heart and that he will take birth through her as 痴腻尘补苍补 and destroy 惭补丑腻产补濒颈. According to the advice of her husband, Aditi began to take Payovrata, at the end of which 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 appeared before her and asked her what her wish was. She told 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, of her grievances and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 consoled her and said "You have invoked me by your prayer and fast for the safety of your sons. So I will enter your womb through the penance of 碍补艣测补辫补 and take birth as your son and rescue your sons."

惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 disappeared. Aditi worshipped her husband with devotion. By contemplation 碍补艣测补辫补 knew everything. He infused the energy he had acquired by penance into Aditi, who gave birth to a son. The birth took place on the twelfth day of the month of 叠丑腻诲谤补辫补诲补, in the bright lunar fortnight at the auspicious moment called Abhijit, in the star of 艢谤腻惫补峁嘺. The infant had four hands. While 碍补艣测补辫补 and Aditi were looking on, the infant changed its form and became a dwarfish Brahmin boy. The Devas brought presents to the child. The Sun taught him the spell called S膩vitr墨mantra. 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 gave the Brahmastring. 碍补艣测补辫补 gave the string worn round the waist. The earth gave the hide of a black antelope. Soma the Vanaspati gave a rod; Aditi gave the cloth over the privities, the sky an umbrella, the seven hermits gave 碍耻艣补-grass, 叠谤补丑尘腻 gave a waterpot, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 gave a rosary and Kubera gave a pot.

At that time, the powerful 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 had brought the three worlds of heaven, earth and 笔腻迟腻濒补 (the netherworld) under his control. That Asura King performed a horse-sacrifice with the help of a 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补 Brahmin. Hearing about it 痴腻尘补苍补 started for the place of sacrifice. 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 was performing the sacrifice at a place called Bh峁沢ukacchaka on the North bank of river 狈补谤尘补诲腻. The priests who were performing the rites and ceremonies of the sacrifice saw 痴腻尘补苍补 coming slowly to the sacrificial hall. They wondered whether it was the Sun, 厂补苍补迟办耻尘腻谤补 or Agni (Fire) coming to see the sacrifice. While they were standing thus, 痴腻尘补苍补 with his umbrella, rod and water pot filled with water entered the sacrificial hall. 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 welcomed 痴腻尘补苍补 and asked him the purpose of his visit. 痴腻尘补苍补 said "Oh King! Your words are sweet. Noble Asura! give me three feet of ground which I measure with my feet. That is all what I want."

惭补丑腻产补濒颈 agreed. The teacher-priest 艢耻办谤补 felt some doubts regarding the identity of 痴腻尘补苍补. So he secretly told 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 that the boy 痴腻尘补苍补 was none other than 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 and as such, he should not give any promise. But 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 had already given the promise. He refused to go back upon his words. The priest 艢耻办谤补 got angry at this and cursed 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 thus. "You boast that you are wise and learned. But you are disobedient, slow-witted and unwise. So all your prosperities will be destroyed."

Though he was cursed, he did not deviate from the path of truth. He gave the promised ground to 痴腻尘补苍补 by pouring water with the water brought in golden pot by his queen Vindhy膩val墨. The names, 础艣补苍腻 and 碍辞峁璦谤腻 also are used in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 for Vindhy膩val墨 the wife of 惭补丑腻产补濒颈. She came out for the purpose wearing golden ornaments. 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 himself washed the feet of 痴腻尘补苍补, who instantly began to grow and became large beyond imagination. Everybody on the spot was amazed at the unimaginable bigness of 痴腻尘补苍补. On that huge figure, 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 saw the priest, the performers of sacrificial rites, the sacrificial hall, the universe, the elements, the qualities the senses, the mind, the individual spirits, and at the feet of the figure the world 搁补蝉腻迟补濒补. He saw the earth on its feet, mountains below the knees, birds on its knees, the Maruts on its thighs, evening on its clothes, the 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈s on its privities, the noble and mighty asuras on its lions, the sky on its navel, the oceans on its stomach, Dharma (duty) in its heart, rightness and truth on its breasts, 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 holding lotus on its chest, songs of 厂腻尘补苍 and all other voices in its neck, all the gods beginning with Indra on its hands, the points (directions) on its ears, the ether on its head, the clouds on its hair, breaths in its nose, the sun in its eyes, fire on its face, the Vedas in its words, 痴补谤耻峁嘺 in its tongue, day and night agreement and disagreement in its winking and anger on its forehead. In its touch there was desire, in its radiance there was water, in its buttocks Jawlessness, sacrifice in its steps, death in its shadow, illusion in its laugh, medicines in its hairs, rivers in its veins, stones in its nails, 叠谤补丑尘腻 in its intelligence, hermits, devas etc. in its life-breaths. Thus the figure was seen by 惭补丑腻产补濒颈. 痴腻尘补苍补 had trodden on the whole of the earth, which was completely under the cont ol of 惭补丑腻产补濒颈, with one foot, filled the whole of the sky with his large body and the four points were filled with his hands. The second step was put on Maharloka, Janaloka and Tapoloka (three worlds). No spot was left in the universe for a third step.

痴腻尘补苍补 said:鈥�"You have given me three feet of ground. I have measured two feet of ground. Show me the place to measure the third step. I have measured the earth with one step and the heaven with the second step. You have seen it. If you cannot keep your promise you had better go down to 笔腻迟腻濒补." Bali requested him to place the third step on his head. 痴腻尘补苍补 placed his foot on the head of 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 and thrust him down to 笔腻迟腻濒补.

痴腻尘补苍补 brought Indra to the spot and anointed him as the ruler of heaven, in the presence of all the gods and hermits. Indra sent 痴腻尘补苍补 with the 尝辞办补辫腻濒补蝉 (Indra, Agni, Yama and 痴补谤耻峁嘺) in a divine 痴颈尘腻苍补 to the world of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 Skandha 8).

b) The second story of the incarnation of 痴腻尘补苍补. Dhundhu, an asura boy, was born to 碍补艣测补辫补 by his wife Danu. That asura did penance and pleased 叠谤补丑尘腻. He made a request that he should not be killed by Indra and the other gods or anybody else. 叠谤补丑尘腻, who was pleased at his penance, gave him the boon he asked. The boy Dhundhu, at the beginning of the fourth Kaliyuga, during the period of 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻, went to heaven and defeating Indra and the other Devas, established his rule there as Indra. The mighty 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 was travelling on the mountain Mandara as an official under Dhundhu.

The defeated and grief-stricken Devas went to the world of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and lived there. Dhundhu, who knew this, wanted to drive them out of that place also. He requested 艢耻办谤补, the priest and teacher of asuras, to tell him the means of doing it.

艢耻办谤补 said. "Devendra was enabled to enter the presence of 叠谤补丑尘腻, because he had performed one hundred horse-sacrifices. "Hearing this, Dhundhu, with the permission of the teacher 艢耻办谤补, began to perform sacrifice in the holy place called 笔谤腻肠墨苍补 迟墨谤迟丑补.

Hearing that Dhundhu had begun the horse-sacrifice, Indra and the Devas trembled with fear and, leaving the world of 叠谤补丑尘腻, went to the world of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and prayed for protection. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 came to know of everything and consoled them and sent them back. After this 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 took the form of a 痴腻尘补苍补 and jumped into the Devik膩jala and lay afloat like a piece of dry wood. Dhundhu and the hermits saw by chance, 痴腻尘补苍补 sinking and coming up in the water. They took the 痴腻尘补苍补-Brahmin out of water and asked him how he had fallen in water. 痴腻尘补苍补 replied with shiver:鈥�"In the family of 痴补谤耻峁嘺 there was a Brahmin named 笔谤补产丑腻蝉补, who was a scholar. I am Gatibh膩sa, the younger of his two sons. After the death of father, I requested my brother to divide the property of our father. My brother quoted several rules and said that I was not entitled to get any portion of my father鈥檚 wealth. I spoke against him and getting angry he caught me by my hair and threw me into the river. It is a year since I, being not able to swim, began to sink and come up in this river. Thus you have seen me here."

The 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补s who were present there, requested Dhundhu thus. "Oh! King of the asuras! Be pleased to give this boy a well-furnished house, servant-maids and plenty of wealth." Hearing this Dhundhu said to 痴腻尘补苍补. "I will provide you with wealth, servantmaids, house, gold, cows, land, clothes etc."

痴腻尘补苍补 humbly said to Dhundhu "Oh Lord! I do not want any wealth. It is my desire for wealth that has brought me to this plight. I request you to give me only three feet of ground."

As soon as the asura-King complied with his request, 痴腻尘补苍补 began to grow like the moon. He assumed the shape of Trivikrama to measure each of the three worlds with a foot. In two steps he measured all the worlds. 痴腻尘补苍补 whose body was bigger than 惭补丑腻尘别谤耻 became angry when he did not see place to measure the third step, and fell on Dhundhu. By this heavy fall there appeared a great cavity thirty thousand yojanas deep. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 took the asura Dhundhu and threw him into that deep pit with a mighty force, and by a shower of dust he filled the cavity.

Indra with the Devas occupied the world of Gods. Leaving the asura King in the sea of dust, 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 jumped into the river 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 and disappeared. (Padma Pur膩峁嘺, Chapter 78).
