Matsya Avatar of Shri Vishnu🐟
(Matsya 🦈means Fish in Sanskrit) was the first Avatar of Vishnu.
It is said that, during the Satya Yuga, the people on earth had become irreligious and disorderly in the way they lived their lives. This is when the Gods collectively decided to flood the earth and prepare it for the process of renovation. Lord Brahma, the creator, had been given the guidelines to remodel the earth by Lord Vishnu.
Shri Vishnu instructed the king Satyavrat Manu to collect the best of seeds from the flora and the best of representatives from fauna, sapta rishis. It also advised that a huge ship be built and kept in ready condition because he would like to protect them from great floods which started swallowing the earth.
The ship with Manu and his collections aboard was tied to the horn of the huge fish (Matsya 🦈 avatar of Shri Vishnu) with the snake Vasuki and reached Himalaya safely.
But a demon Hayagriva was exposed and took Vedas with him. Matsya killed him and rescued the Vedas handing them over once again to Brahma. All the seeds gathered in the ship were thrown on the earth. All the representatives of the different animal species started procreating once again.
