Brahmā said: He who repeatedly calls me swan, shall himself become a swan of bright and white colour, with fiery eyes and feathers. O gods! I assumed the speed of the wind and the mind and went higher and higher. Viṣṇu the all-pervading soul assumed the form of a black boar and went lower and lower. The boar looked like a heap of blue collyrium. It was a hundred Yojanas in length, ten Yojanas in girth. Its body was huge as the mount Meru. It had white and curved teeth. It had the refulgence of all-consuming sun with long snout and loud grunt. Its legs were short and its body of diverse colours. It was victorious, firm and incomparable. Assuming this form of a black boar, Viṣṇu went lower and lower, hurriedly, for a period of one thousand years.
