Lord Varaha Incarnation!

SB 2.7.1 (SA Prji):

* Lord Brahma is saying: When the unlimitedly powerful Lord assumed the form of a boar as a pastime, just to lift the planet earth, which was drowned in the great ocean of the universe called the Garbhodaka, the first demon [Hiranyaksa] appeared, and the Lord pierced him with His tusk.
* In the purport, SP is explaining the structure of the universe, saying that one half is filled with the Garbhodaka ocean
* When the Lord initially comes into the universe, there was nothing here
 - a drop from his navel fell and created the whole Garbhodaka ocean
 - Ananta expanded and formed the bed for the Lord
* Only under certain conditions do the planets float as weightless balls in the air, and as soon as these conditions are disturbed, the planets may fall down in the Garbhodaka Ocean, which covers half the universe. The other half is the spherical dome within which the innumerable planetary systems exist. The floating of the planets in the weightless air is due to the inner constitution of the globes, and the modernized drilling of the earth to exploit oil from within is a sort of disturbance by the modern demons and can result in a greatly harmful reaction to the floating condition of the earth. A similar disturbance was created formerly by the demons headed by Hiranyaksa (the great exploiter of the gold rush), and the earth was detached from its weightless condition and fell down into the Garbhodaka Ocean.
* SP is mentioning here, that Hiranyaksa extracted all the Gold from planet Earth, that it lost its weightless
condition and fell into the Garbodhaka ocean
* Then on the prayer of Brahmaji, Lord Krishna appeared as Lord Varaha, from the nostril of Lord Brahma. He increased his shape and grew into a gigantic boar
* He then killed Hiranyaksa and restored Earth back to its original position
* And similarly to kill Hiranyakashipu, the Lord appeared as Narsimha deva
* In both these incarnations, the Lord appeared without any parents, cause He can do anything
* Next, He appeared as the son of Devahuti and Kardama muni. It is not necessary that He appears like this only, the Lord can come in any way, cause He is the supreme of all supremes
* So on our part, we should use only those resources that we just need. We should not become greedy and try to acquire everything around us. Otherwise, the balance of planet Earth is lost
* Even though the Lord appeared here as a boar, still His form was completely transcendental
* He appeared, gave a great fight to Hiranyaksa and finally killed him to re-establish planet Earth in its original
orbit
