Matsyavatara

Matsyavatara

in Hindi mythology, is the incarnation of Vishnu as a fish, the Majafish, with the surname Cexis. The fable is told as follows: Brahma had fallen asleep; the giant Hajagriwa stole from the sleeping god the four Vedas, the laws of the world, and the lawless world now sank into the kingdom of evil. Then Vishnu saved the world in the form of a fish, by following the giant, who hid under the sea, and compelling him to surrender the books.
