BLOGGER'S VIEWS:
*Imagine a dead deer or its meat packed in a leather pouch on Rama's shoulders! In the incarnation of tortoise (Kurma avataram) he was carrying a great hill on his back! In his incarnation of a hog (Varaha avataram) he held the Earth on his beek! What a fate! The protector of the whole world carrying a dead deer on his shoulders!
